    Journal: J Sci Food Agric; 2013 Apr; 93(6):1420-6. PubMed ID: 23124490.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Orange peel (Citrus sinensis) and green tea (Camellia sinensis) leaves, rich sources of food flavonoids, were analyzed for their trypsin inhibitory potential. Hesperetin, rutin and hesperidin from orange peel, and catechin from green tea leaves, were isolated and their chemical structures were analyzed. All four compounds were evaluated for their trypsin inhibitory potential. RESULTS: Among all the isolated compounds, rutin exhibited the highest protease inhibition activity (75.4 ± 0.9%) with IC50 = 16 ± 2 µmol L(-1), followed by catechin (65.3 ± 1.4%; IC50 = 83 ± 9 µmol L(-1)), hesperetin (62.1 ± 1.3%; IC50 = 104 ± 12 µmol L(-1)) and hesperidin (59.7 ± 1.1%; IC50 = 127 ± 14 µmol L(-1)). Lineweaver-Burk and Dixon plots and their secondary replots indicated that all four compounds possessed non-competitive inhibition. The Ki values of hesperetin, rutin, hesperidin and catechin were calculated as 90.2 ± 1.1, 17.5 ± 0.6, 84.2 ± 1.5 and 65.1 ± 1.5 µmol L(-1) respectively. CONCLUSION: The present results suggest that the four isolated flavonoids can be used as a supplement in food for the treatment of pathologies associated with the degradation of a specific protein.
