Item Uncoupling and inhibition properties of 3,4-seco-friedelan-3-oic acid isolated from Maytenus imbricata(Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, 2007-02) Barbosa, Luiz Claúdio de Almeida; Silva, Silvia Ribeiro de Souza e; Silva, Grácia Divina de Fátima; Duarte, Lucienir Pains; King-Diaz, Beatriz; Archundia-Camacho, Francisco; Lotina-Hennsen, Blas3,4-Seco-friedelan-3-oic acid was isolated from Maytenus imbricata (Celastraceae). At low concentrations it inhibited non-cyclic electron transport and ATP synthesis in spinach chloroplasts, i.e., it behaved as a Hill reaction inhibitor, and at high concentrations it acts as an uncoupler by enhancing uncoupled electron transport and Mg2+–ATPase activity. 3,4-Seco-friedelan-3-oic acid did not inhibit PSII electron transport from DPC to DCPIPox and photosystem I activity, but it enhanced from TMQH2 to MV, corroborating its action as uncoupler. It inhibits electron flow through PSII from water to sodium silicomolybdate. The whole results indicate that the 3,4-seco-friedelan-3-oic acid target is at the OEC complex enzyme, the donor side of PSII. The fluorescence decay data shows the formation of the K-band, which match this result, acting as inhibitor at the donor side of PSII and it as an uncoupler.
