Peroxidases (POD) have an important use in metabolic functions, enzymatic reactions and clinical
diagnoses, especially in the food and pharmaceutical industry. Mammalian POD enzymes, Lactoperoxidase (LPO)
(hydrogen peroxide oxidoreductase E.C. 1.11.1.7) is localized in milk, saliva and tears, while myeloperoxidase is
localized in leukocytes and platelets. LPO enzyme catalyses the conversion of hypothiocyanate with antibacterial
properties of thiocyanate in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The purpose of this study was to determine the in
vitro inhibition effects of capsaicin and pyrogallol on LPO enzyme purified from different milk sources (Bovine,
buffalo, sheep and goat). To determine the inhibition effects of capsaicin and pyrogallol on LPO, LPO enzyme
was purified from different mammalian milk and then, Lineweaver-Burk graphs were drawn for each inhibitor
by measuring enzyme activities; Ki values and inhibition types were determined from these plotted graphs. The
Ki values of capsaicin and pyrogallol were found in ranging of 0.0035-36.178 µM. Pyrogallol was shown the
most effective inhibitor feature with a non-competitive inhibition type with 0.0035 ± 0.0012 μM Ki value on LPO
enzyme purified from sheep milk.
