Abstract: | Flazin is a beta-carboline-derived alkaloid found in Japanese fermented foods. Here, the potential of flazin as an antioxidant food was studied with particular reference to its effect on the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1)-nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) system in human hepatocytes (C3A). Flazin and flazin analogues including the decarboxylated derivative perlolyrine were chemically synthesized and compared with each other and with chlorogenic acid and curcumin. Among these compounds, flazin showed the lowest cytotoxicity (IC50 < 500 mu M) and the highest capacity to activate the Keap1-Nrf2 system. It provided the largest (>3-fold of the control) cytoprotection ability against a pro-oxidant, although its radical absorbance capacity was relatively low. Flazin increased the expressions of Nrf2-dependent phase II enzyme genes and their products (NQO1, GSTP, and GSH proteins). The strong cytoprotection ability of flazin associated with low log P (0-3) is shared by sulforaphane and 3,5-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzyl alcohol, suggesting the potential value of flazin and flazin-rich foods for the prevention of oxidation-related health disorders. |
