Hydrolyzable tannins are a class of polyphenolic compounds commonly found in natural products. In this work, we studied the in vitro inhibitory mechanism of six molecules in this class on ALKBH2, an Fe(II)/α-ketoglutarate-dependent DNA repair enzyme in the AlkB family. We determined the IC<sub>50</sub> values of these compounds on the repair of 3-methylcytosine and 1-methyladenine, the prototypical substrates of ALKBH2. A structure-activity relationship was also observed between the strength of ...[more]
