Abstract

An enzyme inhibitor, nigerloxin, with inhibition against soy bean lipoxygenase-I (LOX-1), rat lens aldose reductase (RLAR) as well as free radical scavenging activity was isolated from the fermented wheat bran using Aspergillus niger CFR-W-105. Its chemical structure was identified as 2-amido-3-hydroxy-6-methoxy-5-methyl-4-(prop-1′-enyl) benzoic acid by NMR and GCEIMS data. The IC50 values against LOX-1 and RLAR were found to be 79 μM and 69 μM and ED50 against 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) was 66 μM.
