BackgroundMethylglyoxal (MGO) is a known toxic byproduct of glycolysis, with MGO-induced cytotoxicity believed to contribute to the pathogenesis of several diseases. Glyoxalase I (GLO1) is a key enzyme for eliminating MGO in mammalian cells, therefore, compounds affecting GLO1 activity are potential therapeutic agents for MGO-induced disorders. Previously, we found nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) as a potent GLO1 inhibitor.MethodsThe inhibitory characteristics of NDGA were determined spectrophotometrically with recombinant GLO1. NDGA-induced growth-inhibition and accumulation of MGO-derived advanced glycation end products (AGEs) were examined in EA.hy926 cells.ResultsNDGA showed significant inhibition of GLO1 enzymatic activity in a dose-dependent manner. Its Kivalue was estimated to be 146-fold lower than that of myricetin, a known GLO1 inhibitor. The co-addition of MGO with NDGA to the cells resulted in significant growth inhibition, suggesting that MGO accumulation, sufficient to affect cell growth, was caused by NDGA inhibiting GLO1. These findings were supported by the observations that the addition of aminoguanidine, a typical MGO scavenger, significantly reversed cell-growth inhibition by co-addition of MGO with NDGA, and that an increase in intracellular MGO-derived AGEs was observed during incubation with the co-addition of MGO with NDGA.ConclusionNDGA was found to be a novel and potent inhibitor of GLO1. The co-addition of NDGA with MGO to the cells resulted in increased intracellular MGO accumulation followed by enhanced cell-growth inhibition.
