Effects of quercetin on mushroom tyrosinase and B16-F10 melanoma cells.
In searching for tyrosinase inhibitors from plants using L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) as a substrate, quercetin was found to be partially oxidized to the corresponding o-quinone under catalysis by mushroom tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1). Simultaneously, L-DOPA was also oxidized to dopaquinone and both o-quinones were further oxidized, respectively. The remaining quercetin partially formed a...
متن کاملEffects of salicylic acid on mushroom tyrosinase and B16 melanoma cells.
Salicylic acid slightly inhibited the oxidation of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) catalyzed by mushroom tyrosinase noncompetitively without being oxidized. In contrast, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid did not inhibit this enzymatic oxidation if a longer reaction time was observed, although it suppressed the initial rate of the oxidation to a certain extent. Neither acid showed noticeable effects o...
متن کاملDifferential Effects of Methoxylated p-Coumaric Acids on Melanoma in B16/F10 Cells
As an approach to search for chemopreventive agents, we tested p-coumaric acid, 3-methoxy-p-coumaric acid (ferulic acid), and 3,5-dimethoxy-p-coumaric acid (sinapic acid) in B16/F10 melanoma cells. Intracellular melanin contents were determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay and cytotoxicity of the compounds were examined by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) re...
متن کاملAcute and Long-Term Effects of Hyperthermia in B16-F10 Melanoma Cells
OBJECTIVE Hyperthermia uses exogenous heat induction as a cancer therapy. This work addresses the acute and long-term effects of hyperthermia in the highly metastatic melanoma cell line B16-F10. MATERIALS AND METHODS Melanoma cells were submitted to one heat treatment, 45°C for 30 min, and thereafter were kept at 37°C for an additional period of 14 days. Cultures maintained at 37°C were used ...
متن کاملCharacteristics of tyrosinase in B16 melanoma.
Tyrosine hydroxylase, dopa oxidase, and peroxidase activities were studied in soluble fractions of B16 melanoma tumor homogenates by polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis. Stained gels were scanned photometrically and gel slices were assayed radiometrically. In these preparations, the two bands of tyrosine hydroxylating activity were completely separated from the peroxidase activity but coinc...
