Abstract
We have reported previously that [8]-gingerol increased Ca(2+)-ATPase activity. Here we synthesized gingerol related compounds (AP-004, AP-005 and AP-015) and investigated the effects of gingerols ([6]-gingerol, [8]-gingerol and [10]-gingerol) and the synthesized compounds on the Ca(2+)-ATPase activity of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). The Ca(2+)-ATPase activity and the Ca(2+)-pumping activity increased by these compounds in a concentration-dependent manner. It is probable that both the o-methoxyphenol and hydrocarbon chain in the molecule of gingerol analogues are necessary for the activation of the Ca(2+)-pumping ATPase activity of SR.
