Abstract
Tannin, a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound, was found to inhibit the activity of purified poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase from human placenta. The inhibition was dose-dependent and half maximal with 2.8 micrograms/ml of tannin. The inhibitory effect of tannin was two and three orders of magnitude more than those of ADP-ribose and cAMP, respectively. Kinetic analysis revealed that the inhibition by tannin was competitive with respect to the substrate poly(ADP-ribose).Entities:
