Inhibition of interaction between Staphylococcus aureus α-hemolysin and erythrocytes membrane by hydrolysable tannins: structure-related activity study.

ABSTRACT: The objective of the study was a comparative analysis of the antihemolytic activity against two Staphylococcus aureus strains (8325-4 and NCTC 5655) as well as α-hemolysin and of the membrane modifying action of four hydrolysable tannins with different molecular mass and flexibility: 3,6-bis-O-di-O-galloyl-1,2,4-tri-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose (T1), 1,2,3,4,5-penta-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose (T2), 3-O-galloyl-1,2-valoneoyl-β-D-glucose (T3) and 1,2-di-O-galloyl-4,6-valoneoyl-β-D-glucose (T4). We showed that all the compounds studied manifested antihemolytic effects in the range of 5-50 µM concentrations. However, the degree of the reduction of hemolysis by the investigated tannins was not uniform. A valoneoyl group-containing compounds (T3 and T4) were less active. Inhibition of the hemolysis induced
