Hyaluronidase (hyase) is a hyaluronic acid (HA) depolymerizing enzyme produced by many pathogenic bacteria as a virulence factor to establish and spread infections. Present studies established that a steroidal fraction (SF) isolated from leaves of Carissa carandas act as a strong hyase inhibitor. The kinetic parameters involved in the inhibition of hyase by purified SF were studied and compared with standard hyase inhibitor quercetin. The purified SF showed the highest inhibition with an IC50 of 5.19 mM in comparison with a standard inhibitor, quercetin (IC50 8.63 mM). The inhibition constant (Ki) of purified SF determined by Dixon plot was 8.32 mM, which was significantly lower than that of quercetin standard. The kinetic behavior of enzyme hyase revealed to be more complex than classical competitive and uncompetitive inhibition where inhibitor affects both Km and Vmax. The inhibitor (I) favored the binding to the enzyme-substrate (ES) complex where Km value appeared to decrease (Kmapp < Km). The inhibitor also leads to decrease in the apparent maximum velocity of the enzyme-substrate reaction (Vmaxapp < Vmax). These results signpost toward mixed nature of inhibition of enzyme hyase by purified SF. Anti-hyaluronidase activity by a bioactive metabolite from C. carandas has not been reported so far and has high therapeutic potential against spread of pathogen and its toxins in the host.
