Chemical Synthesis and Characterization of Epicatechin Glucuronides and Sulfates: Bioanalytical Standards for Epicatechin Metabolite Identification
摘要:
The monoglucuronides and sulfates of epicatechin, 3'-O-methylepicatechin, and 4'-O-methylepicatechin, respectively, were synthesized as authentic bioanalytical standards. Reversed-phase HPLC methods capable of baseline separation of the glucuronides and sulfates have been developed. Both the epicatechin glucuronides and sulfates were stable in the solid state when stored under ambient conditions and in aqueous solution when stored refrigerated. These results should prove invaluable to the research community as analytical standards as well as in future studies of the biological and pharmacological effects of epicatechin in humans.
Herein, the first enantioselective totalsynthesis of a number of biologically relevant (−)-epicatechin conjugates is described. The success of this synthesis relied on (i) optimized conditions for the stereospecific cyclization step leading to the catechin C ring; on (ii) efficient conjugation reactions; and on (iii) optimized deprotection sequences. These standard compounds have been subsequently
for which sufficient amounts of them are required that cannot be obtained by isolation from biological fluids. This paper describes the preparation of the methyl, sulfate, and glucuronide derivatives of catechins using different chemical syntheses and their characterization by HPLC−DAD−ESI/MS. MS2 fragmentation of the compounds was also described that allowed the determination of the location of the different
