Identification of potential and selective collagenase, gelatinase inhibitors from Crataegus pinnatifida

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2010 Feb 1;20(3):991-3. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2009.12.059. Epub 2009 Dec 22.

Abstract

Four oligomeric procyanidins were isolated from the MeOH extracts of the leaves of Crataegus pinnatifida (Rosaceae). Investigation of collagenase and gelatinase inhibitory natural components afforded four oligomeric procyanidins. Of these, 2 and 3 exhibited collagenase inhibitory activity (IC(50)) at a concentration of less than 1 microM, and 3 showed gelatinases A and B inhibitory activity (IC(50)) at 0.4 and 2.3 microM, respectively.
