A series of 19 structural analogs of propyl gallate (3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid propyl ester) were tested for their ability to inhibit the cyanide-insensitive, electron transfer pathway in isolated mung bean mitochondria. The results indicate that the trihydroxy substituent, not the ester, of propyl gallate is the structural feature of the molecule required to produce inhibition. Further, only one OH group, if it is locatedparato the ester moiety, will bring about specific inhibition. Of the compounds which contained the appropriate hydroxyl group, the lower the pKαof the hydroxyl group, the lower the observed inhibition constant (Ki′) for blocking the alternative pathway. Even though the observedKi′ values varied over two orders of magnitude for the compounds tested, the calculated pH-independent, intrinsic inhibition constants (Ki) were markedly similar for all inhibitory compounds. The results indicate that a simple phenolate anion is the minimum structural feature required to observe specific inhibition of the alternative pathway and the more easily the anion can be formed, the better the observed inhibition. Similarities between the above compounds and the structural features associated with hydroxamic acids were also noted.
