Abstract
Lipoxygenases (LOXs, linoleate: oxygen reductase, E.C. 1.13.11.12) are a family of non-heme ironcontaining dioxygenases. LOXs are associated with several inflammation-related diseases such as arthritis, asthma, cardiovascular, kidney, skin and allergic diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, cancer and metabolic syndrome. In this study, the inhibitory effects of ethanolic extracts prepared from 12 different plants and 12 different chemical compounds were investigated on the activity of LOX which has an important value in the health area. All the plant extracts and chemical substances used in our study showed LOX inhibitory effect. The enzyme inhibitory activities of the extracts and chemical compounds were increasing in a dose-dependent manner. The results obtained in the present study indicate that plant extracts and chemical compounds examined can be a potential source of novel antiinflammatory therapeutics.
