Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Inhibitory Activity of Selaginellin Derivatives from Selaginella tamariscina

Abstract

Selaginellin derivatives 1-3 isolated from Selaginella tamariscina were evaluated for their inhibition of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) to demonstrate their potential for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. All selaginellin derivatives (1-3) inhibited sEH enzymatic activity and PHOME hydrolysis, in a dose-dependent manner, with IC 50 values of 3.1˘0.1, 8.2˘2.2, and 4.2˘0.2 µM, respectively. We further determined that the derivatives function as non-competitive inhibitors. Moreover, the predicted that binding sites and interaction between 1-3 and sEH were solved by docking simulations. According to quantitative analysis, 1-3 were confirmed to have high content in the roots of S. tamariscina; among them, selaginellin 3 exhibited the highest content of 189.3˘0.0 µg/g.

“…The initial velocity ( v i ) was calculated at steady-state. A Lineweaver–Burk plot was represented by 1/ v versus 1/substrate in the presence of inhibitor according to enzyme kinetics theory [ 7 , 22 ]. A series of regression lines for compounds 2 and 8 are presented in Figure 2 C,D, respectively.…”
