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.
Enzymatic synthesis of (-)-epicatechin (EC) glucosides was performed through the transglucosylation reaction catalyzed by the cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) from Paenibacillus sp. RB01. The enzyme showed the same product specificity for the three donor substrates, starch, beta-cyclodextrin and maltoheptaose (G7). Using beta-cyclodextrin as the glucosyl donor. several EC glucoside products were obtained at an overall minimal yield of 18.1%. The structures of the four main products were elucidated by MS and NMR techniques as (-)-EC-3'-O-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (EC3A), (-)-EC-3'-O-alpha-D-diglucopyranoside (EC3B), (-)-EC-3'-O-alpha-D-triglucopyranoside (EC3C) and (-)-EC-4'-O-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (EC4A). Of these, EC3A was the major product while EC4A, unique for this CGTase, was formed in the lowest amount. The water solubility and stability against UV irradiation of EC3A were significantly higher than that of EC. Although the antioxidant activity was 1.5-fold lower, the advantage of the enhanced solubility and stability makes the EC3A glucoside more beneficial as food ingredient than its parent EC.
