Occurrence and metabolism of 7-hydroxy-2-indolinone-3-acetic acid in zea mays
摘要:
7-Hydroxy-2-indolinone-3-acetic acid was identified as a catabolite of indole-3-acetic acid in germinating kernels of Zea mays and found to be present in amounts of ca 3.1 nmol/kernel. 7-Hydroxy-2-indolinone-3-acetic acid was shown to be a biosynthetic intermediate between 2-indolinone-3-acetic acid and 7-hydroxy-2-indolinone-3-acetic acid-7'-O-glucoside in both kernels and roots of Zea mays. Further metabolism of 7-hydroxy-2-[5-3H]-indolinone-3-acetic acid-7'-O-glucoside occurred to yield tritiated water plus, as yet, uncharacterized products.
A short synthesis of the endogenous plant metabolite 7-hydroxyoxindole-3-acetic acid (7-OH-OxIAA) using simultaneous C–H borylations
摘要:
Methyl indole-3-acetate undergoes two simultaneous iridium-catalysed borylations to deliver exclusively 2,7-diboronate, with the ligand 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Me(4)Phen) pivotal in driving the diborylation to completion. Subsequent oxidation-hydrolysis of the diboronate provides methyl 7-hydroxyoxindole-3-acetate which upon hydrolysis of the ester delivers 7-OH-OxIAA, an antioxidant, endogenous metabolite of indole-3-acetic acid found in various types of corn. This route has an overall yield of 50%, involves a single chromatographic purification and is an efficient alternative to existing syntheses, made possible by executing simultaneous oxidations at the indole C2 and C7 sites.

The components contributing to the antioxidativeactivity of supersweet corn powder (SSCP), which is commonly used in corn soup and snacks in Japan, were clarified and the effects investigated. 7-(O-β-Glucosyloxy)oxindole-3-acetic acid (GOA) was found to be the component most strongly contributing to the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging activity of the 80% ethanol extract of SSCP
The oxindole-3-acetic acids, oxidative metabolites of indole-3-acetic acid, were isolated from a byproduct of a corn starch manufacturing plant, and were further converted to the 3-hydroxyl derivatives in the presence of metal ion. The mechanical study was followed by a chemical analysis including other byproducts, and suggested the presence of an intermediate that had a radical at the C-3 position of oxindole-3-acetic acids.
