Enzymatic Glycosylation of Phenolic Antioxidants: Phosphorylase-Mediated Synthesis and Characterization
摘要:
Although numerous biologically active molecules exist as glycosides in nature, information on the activity, stability, and solubility of glycosylated antioxidants is rather limited to date. In this work, a wide variety of antioxidants were glycosylated using different phosphorylase enzymes. The resulting antioxidant library, containing alpha/beta-glucosides, different regioisomers, cellobiosides, and cellotriosides, was then characterized. Glycosylation was found to significantly increase the solubility and stability of all evaluated compounds. Despite decreased radical-scavenging abilities, most glycosides were identified to be potent antioxidants, outperforming the commonly used 2,6-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-methylphenol (BHT). Moreover, the point of attachment, the anomeric configuration, and the glycosidic chain length were found to influence the properties of these phenolic glycosides.

Repositioning key loops by adding a clash‐inducing hydrophobic Phe—remodelling a sucrosephosphorylase into a polyphenol transglucosidase: Introducing a sterically demanding residue into the activesite of a sucrosephosphorylase enlarged the activesitethrough indirect effects arising from a cascade of conformational changes. Aromatic acceptors could thus be glucosylated.
The glycosidation of (+)catechin, which has five hydroxyl groups with cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase, EC 2.4.1.19) and soluble starch has been studied. One of the transfer products was purified and its structure was determined to be (+)catechin 3ʹ-0-α-D-glucopyranoside. This glucoside noncompetitively inhibited the activity of tyrosinase from mushroom, IC50 being 5.8 mM, but didn’t inhibit that from mouse melanoma. In contrast, arbutin (hydroquinone-0-β-D-glucopyranoside) inhibited both tyrosinases.
