Abstract

<p align="justify">A lipoxygenase-1 (LOX-1) inhibitor was isolated from the fermented broth of Aspergillus niger CFTRI 1105. It was purified, using column and preparative thin layer chromatography. 1H NMR and GC-MS examination revealed the structure of the inhibitor to be 2-(22-methyl, 42-hydroxyphenyl), 2-(422hydroxyphenyl)-propane with a molecular weight of 242 and the molecular formula C16H18O2. This bisphenol-derivative inhibitor shows 50% inhibition of soybean LOX-1 at 0.98 mM concentration. The activity of this inhibitor was compared with commercial bisphenol A and its structural analogues,butylhydroxyanisole and butylhydroxytoluene in an attempt to understand the role of functional groups affecting lipoxygenase activity.</p>
