N2 - Three classes of chemically defined tannins, gallotannins, ellagitannins and condensed tannins were examined for their inhibitory activities against purified poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase. Ellagitannins showed higher inhibitory activities than gallotannins. In contrant, condensed tannins, which consist of an epicathechin gallate (ECG) oligomer without a glucose core were not appreciably inhibitory. Kinetic analysis revealed that the inhibition of ellagitannins was competitive with respect to the substrate poly(ADP-ribose), whereas gallotannins exhibited mixed-type inhibition. These results suggest that conjugation with glucose of hexahydroxydiphenoyl (HHDP) group, which is a unique component of ellagitannins, potentiated the inhibitory activity, and that the structure of ellagitannins may have a functional domain which competes with poly(ADP-ribose) on the poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase molecule.
