Plant polyphenols: biologically active compounds or non-selective binders to protein?

Abstract:

:Twenty phenolic compounds, representatives of proanthocyanidins and gallic acid/hexahydroxyldiphenic acid esters of glucose, have been assessed for their ability to inhibit binding of specific radioligands to 16 receptors. The receptors utilized were alpha 1-, alpha 2- and beta-adrenoceptors, adenosine 1, dopamine 1 and 2, muscarinic, Ca2+ channel, sulphonylureas, 5HT1, 5HT1A, 5HT2, histamine 1, benzodiazepine, opiate and Na+/K/ATPase. These phenolic compounds failed to inhibit ligands binding to 10 of the receptors under the test conditions. The most susceptible receptors to phenolic binding were beta-adrenergic, 5HT1 and opiate. Some of the compounds tested showed selectivity for a single or for two receptors. The inhibition of binding of radioligands to receptors by the phenolic compounds cannot be explained solely in terms of phenolic-protein binding. The results indicate that the removal of tannins from plant extracts prior to screening for receptor activities may result in missing biologically active compounds with specificity of action.
