Strong activation of cyclooxygenase I and II catalytic activity by dietary bioflavonoids.
Cyclooxygenases (COXs) catalyze the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins (PGs), thromboxanes, and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids. In the present study, we investigated several dietary bioflavonoids for their ability to modulate the catalytic activity of COX I and II in vitro and also in cultured cells. We found that some of them are the most powerful direct stimulators of the catalyt...
متن کاملStructural Basis for Certain Naturally Occurring Bioflavonoids to Function as Reducing Co-Substrates of Cyclooxygenase I and II
BACKGROUND Recent studies showed that some of the dietary bioflavonoids can strongly stimulate the catalytic activity of cyclooxygenase (COX) I and II in vitro and in vivo, presumably by facilitating enzyme re-activation. In this study, we sought to understand the structural basis of COX activation by these dietary compounds. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS A combination of molecular modeling ...

Recent advances in nanoscience have led to the development of numerous methodologiesfor controlled synthesis of mono dispersed nanoparticles and/or nanoclusters via surface stabilization by organic capping ligands. The application of these nanoparticles in catalysis and other fields often requires the removal of organic ligands. It is known that the removal of organic capping agents or or...
متن کاملcomparison of catalytic activity of heteropoly compounds in the synthesis of bis(indolyl)alkanes.
heteropoly acids (hpa) and their salts have advantages as catalysts which make them both economically and environmentally attractive, strong br?nsted acidity, exhibiting fast reversible multi-electron redox transformations under rather mild conditions, very high solubility in polar solvents, fairly high thermal stability in the solid states, and efficient oxidizing ability, so that they are imp...

color that occurred during storage of the packs of canned grapefruit sections collected from plant A during the 1953-54 season, it was decided to obtain samples from two other plants during the following season in order to confirm such results. However, when this was done, the data obtained, as shown in Tables 2 and 3, indicated that the differences found after storage at 90 °F. for six months ...
