Abstract

Palmatine, an protoberberine isoquinoline alkaloid, has been found to inhibit dopamine biosynthesis by reducing tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) activity in PC12 cells (Lee and Kim, 1996). We have therefore investigated the effects of palmatine on bovine adrenal TH. Palmatine showed a mild inhibition on bovine adrenal TH (36.4% inhibition at concentration of $200\muM$). Bovine adrenal TH was inhibited competitively by palmatine with a substrate L-tyrosine. The Ki value was found to be 0.67 mM. This result suggests that the inhibition of TH activity by palmatine may be partially involved in the reduction of dopamine biosynthesis in PC12 cells.
