A new inhibitor against disease-related enzymes, collagenase, hyaluronidase, and xanthine oxidase, has been developed by the laccase-catalyzed conjugation of catechin on poly(E-lysine). The resulting poly(epsilon-lysine)-catechin conjugate showed greatly improved inhibition effects on activity of these enzymes, whereas the catechin monomer showed very low inhibition activity. The kinetic analysis on the inhibition of collagenase exhibited that the conjugate was a mixed-type inhibitor. The amplified activities might offer high potential as a therapeutic agent for prevention of various enzyme-related diseases.
