Lipoxygenase

LOX

Lipoxygenases (LOXs) are a family of enzymes that are responsible for the metabolism of arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acid and for the formation of several eicosanoids and docosanoids, including leukotrienes, lipoxins and neuroprotectins. Depending on cells' redox state and other milieu conditions, these enzymes are engaged in oxidative stress and cell death mechanisms or in cell protection. Lipoxygenases are lipid peroxidizing enzymes, implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory and hyperproliferative diseases, which represent potential targets for pharmacological intervention.

Lipoxygenases are classified on the basis of site of arachidonate oxygenation into 5-, 8-, 9-, 11-, 12- and 15-LOX. The prominent animal LOXs are 5-LOX, 8-LOX, 12-LOX and 15-LOX, while the plant LOXs are mostly 5-LOX and 15-LOX. Among these, 5-LOX is the most predominant isoform associated with the formation of 5-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-HpETE) and other bioactive lipid mediators.

    tHGA
    Inhibitor
    tHGA is a compound with anti-inflammatory activity and has the activity to inhibit soybean 15-LOX. tHGA showed significant inhibitory effects in experiments on human leukocytes, with an IC50 value of 0.42 μM, which is close to the effect of commonly used standard NDGA. tHGA concentration-dependently inhibits the synthesis of 5-LOX products, especially the cysteine leukotriene LTC(4), with an IC50 value of 1.80 μM. and showed no cytotoxicity. The anti-inflammatory effects of tHGA do not appear to be through redox or metal chelation mechanisms, as the compound was negative in these bioactivity tests. tHGA works through a dual LOX/COX inhibition mechanism and has higher selectivity for 5-LOX and COX-2, with an IC50 value of 0.40 μM.
