Synthesis and Quantitative Analysis of Plasma-Targeted Metabolites of Catechin and Epicatechin
摘要:
Grape seed polyphenolic extract (GSPE) rich in the flavan-3-ols (+)-catechin and (-)-epicatechin beneficially modulates Alzheimer's Disease phenotypes in animal models. The parent molecules in the extract are converted to a series of methylated and glucuronidated derivatives. To fully characterize these metabolites and establish a robust quantitative assay of their levels in biological fluids, we have implemented a partial synthetic approach utilizing chemical methylation followed by enzymatic glucuronidation. Liquid chromatography/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-TOF-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy were used to assign unequivocal structures to the compounds. An analytical method using solid-phase extraction and LC-MS/MS in selective reaction monitoring mode (SRM) was validated for their quantitation in plasma. These studies provide a basis for improvements in future work on the bioavailability, metabolism, and mechanism of action of metabolites derived from dietary flavan-3-ols in a range of interventions.
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

3'-O-Methylderivatives of flavan-3-ols, (+)-catechin (C), (-)-epicatechin (EC), and (-)-catechin gallate (CG) were prepared enzymatically. Hexanal (EC and CG family, 5 mmol/L) and conjugated diene (C and EC family, 0.25-10 mmol/L) formation following CuSO4-mediated triacylglycerol-rich lipoprotein oxidation was measured. All EC and CG compounds significantly reduced hexanal formation (p < 0.02). O-Methylation

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for prophylactic and/or therapeutic treatment of conditions related to mitochondrial function. In various aspects, the present invention comprises administering one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of epicatechin, an epicatechin derivative, catechin, a catechin derivative, nicorandil, and a nicorandil derivative in an amount effective to stimulate mitochondrial function in cells. The methods and compositions described herein provide for reducing infarct size in the heart following permanent ischemia or ischemia /reperfusion (IR) event or method for delaying, attenuating or preventing adverse cardiac remodeling, and can assist in prevention of impaired mitochondria biogenesis and thus prevention of the consequences of impaired mitochondrial biogenesis in various diseases and conditions, as well as provide for the active therapy of mitochondrial depletion that may have already occurred.
The invention relates to compositions, and methods of use thereof, for boosting immunity, e.g. innate immunity, in a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject certain polyphenols such as flavanols, procyanidins, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or derivatives thereof.
