Abstract
Caulerpenyne (CYN) is a sesquiterpene from green algae with known inhibitory properties against soybean lipoxygenase. Here we introduce a detailed structure-activity study elucidating the inhibitory effects of CYN and a library of six synthetic CYN analogues on isolated human 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) and cellular 5-LO in polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Essential structural elements are identified and a structurally simplified inhibitor is introduced. The modes of 5-LO inhibition by CYN and the synthetic inhibitors cannot be assigned to any of the known categories of lipoxygenase inhibitors. These compounds clearly interfere directly with 5-LO and represent rather small and flexible molecules, with unique structures among 5-LO inhibitors identified thus far.
