Eugenol prevents amyloid formation of proteins and inhibits amyloid-induced hemolysis

Abstract: Eugenol has attracted considerable attention because of its potential for many pharmaceutical applications including anti-inflammatory, anti-tumorigenic and anti-oxidant properties. Here, we have investigated the effect of eugenol on amyloid formation of selected globular proteins. We find that both spontaneous and seed-induced aggregation processes of insulin and serum albumin (BSA) are significantly suppressed in the presence of eugenol. Isothermal titration calorimetric data predict a single binding site fo… Show more

“…Furthermore, some studies have postulated the mechanism of its neurological actions for e.g. Dubey et al [20], explored the effect of eugenol on the amyloid formation of selected globular proteins. They revealed the neuroprotective nature of eugenol against toxic amyloids by stabilizing native proteins and to delay the conversion of protein species of native conformation into β-sheet assembled mature fibrils, which seems to be crucial for its inhibitory effect.…”

“…Bovine Serum Albumin is a naturally aggregation prone protein [ 52 , 53 ] where intermolecular disulphide bonds are generally held responsible for mediating the aggregation [ 54 ]. Although BSA is not naturally amyloidogenic, intermolecular aggregation of BSA is implicated in formation of irreversible amyloid fibrils in the protein [ 55 , 56 ].…”
