Inhibition of Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Activity by Components of <i>Glycyrrhiza uralensis</i>

Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is a target enzyme for the treatment of inflammation and cardiovascular disease. A <i>Glycyrrhiza uralensis</i> extract exhibited ~50% inhibition of sEH at 100 μg/mL, and column chromatography yielded compounds <b>1</b>–<b>11</b>. I...

description Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is a target enzyme for the treatment of inflammation and cardiovascular disease. A <i>Glycyrrhiza uralensis</i> extract exhibited ~50% inhibition of sEH at 100 μg/mL, and column chromatography yielded compounds <b>1</b>–<b>11</b>. Inhibitors <b>1</b>, <b>4</b>–<b>6</b>, <b>9</b>, and <b>11</b> were non-competitive; inhibitors <b>3, 7</b>, <b>8</b>, and <b>10</b> were competitive. The IC<sub>50</sub> value of inhibitor <b>10</b> was below 2 μM. Molecular simulation was used to identify the sEH binding site. Glycycoumarin (<b>10</b>) requires further evaluation in cells and animals.
