Dimeric anthracenones were isolated from toxic plants of the genus Karwinskia (Rhamnaceae). T 514 or peroxisomicine A1 is one of these toxic compounds which produces an irreversible and selective damage on the peroxisomes of yeast cells in vivo. In this paper the inhibitory effect in vitro of peroxisomicine A1 and other structurally related anthracenones on liver catalase activity is reported. The peroxisomicine A1 produces a non-competitive inhibition with respect to H2O2 on bovine, dog, and mouse liver catalases. In the three cases Vmax was decreased whereas Km was unaffected. Other dimeric anthracenones of natural origin were also found to be inhibitors of bovine liver catalase. There is a relationship between structure and degree of inhibition of all anthracenonic compounds tested. Peroxisomicine A1 and peroxisomicine A2 caused the highest degree of inhibition (IC50 = 3.34 and 3.64 microM, respectively).
