Inhibition of gastric H+, K+-ATPase by chalcone derivatives, xanthoangelol and 4-hydroxyderricin, from Angelica keiskei Koidzumi

Abstract
Two chalcone derivatives, xanthoangelol (I) and 4-hydroxyderricin (II) isolated from Angelica keiskei Koidzumi, inhibited pig gastric H+, K+ -ATPase with IC50 values of 1.8 and 3.3 μM, respectively. The inhibition by I or II was competitive with respect to ATP and was non-competitive with respect to K+. I and II also inhibited K+, stimulated p-nitrophenyl phosphatase, with IC50 values of 1.3 and 3.5 μM, respectively. Proton transport in-vitro was inhibited by I or II, in a dose-dependent manner. I at 100 mg kg−1, i.p. significantly inhibited acid secretion and the formation of stress-induced gastric lesions. These results suggest that the antisecretory effect of I is due to the inhibition of gastric H+, K+-ATPase.
