Abstract

Gossypol, a polyphenolic binaphthalene-dialdehyde reputed to exert contraceptive action in males, reversibly inhibits adenylate cyclase [ATP pyrophosphate lyase (cyclizing), EC 4.6.1.1] in a concentration-dependent manner. In membranes prepared from a variety of organs, the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) ranges from 75 μm (rat Leydig tumor cells) to 250 μm (rat liver membranes). Kinetic studies using partially purified catalytic subunit isolated from bovine testis show that gossypol is competitive with ATP with an apparent K_i of 110 μm. These data suggest that gossypol inhibition of adenylate cyclase is due to direct interaction at the nucleotide-binding domain of the catalytic subunit of the enzyme.
