10-Butyryl substituted 1,8-dihydroxyanthrone (butantrone) inhibited soybean lipoxygenase-1 irreversibly and more efficiently than its parent compound 1,8-dihydroxyanthrone (dithranol, anthralin) (IC50 values 0.090 mM and 1.1 mM, respectively). Intact butantrone rather than its hydrolysis product was the primary effector and the 10-butyryl moiety its site specific probe, probably directing the inhibitor to the proximity of the binding site of the lipid substrate/product.
