Abstract

A group of 4-methoxyphenylacetic acid esters were designed, synthesized and evaluated as potential inhibitors of soybean 15-lipoxygenase (SLO) on the basis of eugenol and esteragol structures. Compounds 7d–e showed the best IC50 in SLO inhibition (IC50= 3.8 and 1.9 μM, respectively). All compounds were docked in SLO active site and showed that carbonyl group of compounds is oriented toward the FeIII–OH moiety in the active site of enzyme ...
