Chemical Synthesis of Hydroxycinnamic Acid Glucosides and Evaluation of Their Ability To Stabilize Natural Colors via Anthocyanin Copigmentation
摘要:
This work describes the chemical synthesis of O-aryi-beta-D-glucosides and 1 -O-beta-D-glucosyl esters of hydroxycinnamic acids. In particular, OLaryl-beta-D-glucosides were efficiently prepared via a simple diastereoselective glycosylation procedure using phase transfer conditions. Despite the lability of its ester linkage, 1-O-beta-D-caffeoylglucose could also be obtained using a Lewis acid catalyzed glycosylation step and a set of protective groups that can be removed under neutral conditions. Hydroxycinnamic acid O-aryl-beta-D-glucosides were then quantitatively investigated for their affinity for the naturally occurring anthocyanin malvin (pigment). Formation of the pi-stacking molecular complexes (copigmentation) was characterized in terms of binding constants and enthalpy and entropy changes. The glucosyl moiety did not significantly alter these thermodynamic parameters, in line with a binding process solely involving the polyphenolic nuclei.

L241D/W243N. In order to guide a more general use of Os9BGlu31 variants as transglycosylation catalysts, we built cheminformatics models based on topological descriptors of the substrates. These models showed useful predictive potential on the external validation set and are allowing the identification of efficient catalytic routes to novel phytohormone and antibiotic glucoconjugates of interest.

identified. Combining sequence information in the Arabidopsis genomic data base with biochemical data from screening the activity of recombinant proteins in vitro, we have now identified five gene sequences encoding enzymes that can glucosylate sinapic acid, sinapylalcohol, and their related phenylpropanoids. The data provide a foundation for future understanding and manipulation of sinapate metabolism
