Pharmacological Action

1. Inhibition of certain enzymes: The endogenous ATPase inhibitory protein isolated from potato root mitochondria requires the presence of Mg2+-ATP to inhibit F1-ATPase. The IC50 for the isolated yeast strain F1 was 140 μg (inhibitor)/mg (F1).

This inhibitor also has a strong ATPase inhibitory effect on the isolated yeast F1. Adding 100 mg or 200 mg of trypsin inhibitor isolated from potatoes to every 100 g of rat food can reduce casein utilization and cause pancreatic enlargement in a short-term test lasting 28 days. In a long-term test lasting 95 weeks, the inhibitor can produce dose-dependent pancreatic pathological changes, with nodular hyperplasia and alveolar tumors in the pancreas.

A protease inhibitor (POTⅡ) obtained from potatoes can increase the release of cholecystokinin (CCK). Since endogenous CCK plays an important role in controlling food absorption, this substance may play a certain role in reducing food absorption.

2. Other effects: Potato water dialysate can inhibit the mutagenic effect of certain carcinogens on Salmonella typhimurium. The average gastric emptying time of potatoes and rice was 71 minutes and 86 minutes respectively.

Because the glycemic index is negatively correlated with gastric emptying time, rice is more suitable for diabetics than potatoes. Experiments on rats showed that injection of solanine in potatoes could increase blood sugar, and blocking of α- or β-adrenergic receptors could inhibit this effect. In the plant lectin test, potato can be used as a specific marker for thyroid tumors in rats.
