Bioactive anthraquinones found in plant foods interact with human serum albumin and inhibit the formation of advanced glycation endproducts
Journal of Food Bioactives(2018)
摘要
The glycation of human serum albumin (HSA) plays a critical role in the development of many disorders. Herein, the anti-glycation effects of several natural dietary anthraquinone derivatives including aloin, aloe-emodin, chrysophanol, emodin, physcion, and rhein were evaluated. The anthraquinones at 100 μM reduced fructose-, methylglyoxal-, and glyoxal-induced HSA glycation by 21% (aloe-emodin) to 92% (aloin), 17% (physcion) to 94% (emodin), and 16% (anthraquinone) to 67% (emodin), respectively. These anthraquinone derivatives also protected HSA by maintaining its free amino acid residues and secondary protein structure as characterized by circular dichroism. The mechanisms of their anti-glycation effects were investigated using rhein as a representative anthraquinone. The interactions between rhein and HSA were evaluated by biophysical characterizations, namely, isothermal titration calorimetry and UV-vis spectroscopy as well as computational modeling. Our findings suggest that the anti-glycation effects of these anthraquinones may be attributed to their binding capacity and stabilization of the HSA protein structure.
