Effects of Allelochemlcals on ATPases. Several flavonoid compounds inhibit ATPase activity that is associated with mineral absorption. Phloretin and quercetin (100 pM) inhibited the plasma membrane ATPase Isolated from oat roots (33). The naphthoquinone juglone was inhibitory also. However, neither ferulic acid nor salicylic acid inhibited the ATPase. Additional research has shown that even at 10 mM salicylic acid inhibits ATPase activity only 10-15% (49). This lack of activity by salicylic acid was substantiated with the plasma membrane ATPase Isolated from Neurospora crassa (50) however, the flavonols fisetln, morin, myricetin, quercetin, and rutin were inhibitory to the Neurospora ATPase. Flavonoids inhibited the transport ATPases of several animal systems also (51-53). Thus, it appears that flavonoids but not phenolic acids might affect mineral transport by inhibiting ATPase enzymes.

Pineapple fiber showed higher (86.7%) antioxidant activity than orange peel fiber (34.6%), and myricetin was the major polyphenol identified in pineapple fiber (Larrauri and others 1997).

There are several mechanisms involved in the vasodilator effect of flavonoids. The main mechanism seems to be related to the inhibition of protein kinase C or some of the processes activated by this protein. The inhibition of other protein kinases and cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity and blockage of calcium entry can also contribute to this effect to a greater or lesser extent (Alvarez Castro and Orallo, 2003 Herrera and others 1996). Certain flavonoids, like the flavonol myricetin, have a two-phase action on blood vessels vasoconstrictor in lowest active concentrations and vasodilator in higher concentrations (Alvarez Castro and Orallo, 2003).
