We previously found that vitamin K3(menadione, 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone) inhibits the activity of human mitochondrial DNA polymerase (pol) γ. In this study, we focused on plumbagin (5-hydroxy-2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone), and chemically synthesized novel plumbagins conjugated with C2:0 to C22:6 fatty acids (5-O-acyl plumbagins). These chemically modified plumbagins displayed enhanced mammalian pol inhibition, with plumbagin conjugated to docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6-acyl plumbagin) exhibiting the strongest inhibition of pol λ among the ten 5-O-acyl plumbagins synthesized. C22:6-acyl plumbagin selectively inhibited the activities of mammalian pol species, but did not influence the activities of other pols or DNA metabolic enzymes tested. The inhibition of pol λ, a DNA repair/recombination pol, by these compounds was significantly correlated with both their suppression of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) production by mouse RAW264.7 macrophages and the reduction of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced inflammation in the mouse ear. These data indicate that 5-O-acyl plumbagins act as anti-inflammatory agents by inhibiting mammalian pol λ. These results further suggest that C22:6-acyl plumbagin is a promising anti-inflammatory candidate and that acylation could be an effective chemical modification to improve the anti-inflammatory activity of vitamin K3derivatives, such as plumbagin.
