Synthesis of Long Chain Fatty Acids Acylated Coumarin Glycoside Esters with Lipase as Catalyst

A series of novel coumarin glycoside esters(1―9) was synthesized through the acylation reaction of 4-methylcoumarin-7-O-β-D-glucoside(11) with different long chain fatty acids catalyzed by lipase in organic medium. The acylation occurred regioselectively at the 6'-OH of glycosyl moiety. The enzymatic synthesis was optimized to achieve 54%―70% yield using immobilized lipase(Novozym 435, 10 mg/mL) as catalyst and acetone and pyridine(9:1, volume ratio, water content<1%) as solvent with an acyl donor/coumarin glycoside molar ratio of 10:1 at a temperature of 40―50 ℃ for 96 h. All the synthesized compounds were confirmed.     

Non-Specific GH30_7 Endo-β-1,4-xylanase from Talaromyces leycettanus

This study describes the catalytic properties of a GH30_7 xylanase produced by the fungus Talaromyces leycettanus. The enzyme is an ando-β-1,4-xylanase, showing similar specific activity towards glucuronoxylan, arabinoxylan, and rhodymenan (linear β-1,3-β-1,4-xylan). The heteroxylans are hydrolyzed to a mixture of linear as well as branched β-1,4-xylooligosaccharides that are shorter than the products generated by GH10 and GH11 xylanases. In the rhodymenan hydrolyzate, the linear β-1,4-xylooligosaccharides are accompanied with a series of mixed linkage homologues. Initial hydrolysis of glucuronoxylan resembles the action of other GH30_7 and GH30_8 glucuronoxylanases, resulting in a series of aldouronic acids of a general formula MeGlcA²Xyl_n. Due to the significant non-specific endoxylanase activity of the enzyme, these acidic products are further attacked in the unbranched regions, finally yielding MeGlcA²Xyl_2-3. The accommodation of a substituted xylosyl residue in the −2 subsite also applies in arabinoxylan depolymerization. Moreover, the xylose residue may be arabinosylated at both positions 2 and 3, without negatively affecting the main chain cleavage. The catalytic properties of the enzyme, particularly the great tolerance of the side-chain substituents, make the enzyme attractive for biotechnological applications. The enzyme is also another example of extraordinarily great catalytic diversity among eukaryotic GH30_7 xylanases.     

Total synthesis of macrocyclic glycosides, clemochinenosides A and B, and berchemolide, by fluorous mixture synthesis

The total synthesis of clemochinenoside A and the first total syntheses of clemochinenoside B and berchemolide were achieved simultaneously via macrocyclization of 4-O-(4-O-^F13benzyl-β-d-glucopyranosyl)syringic acid with 4-O-(4-O-^F17benzyl-β-d-glucopyranosyl)vanillic acid by a fluorous mixture synthetic method. The spectroscopic data of the synthetic products were identical with those of the natural products, although the optical rotation of clemochinenoside A differed from the published values in sign and magnitude.     

The absolute stereostructures of cyanogenic glycosides, hydracyanosides A, B, and C, from the leaves and stems of Hydrangea macrophylla

Three new cyanogenic glycosides named hydracyanosides A (1), B (2), and C (3) were isolated from the leaves and/or stems of Hydrangea macrophylla in China. The absolute stereostructures of hydracyanosides were characterized on the basis of chemical and physiochemical evidence including single crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first scientific report of cyanogenic glycosides from Hydrangea plants.     

Polar Constituents from Sageretia Thea Leaf Characterized by HPLC‐SPE‐NMR Assisted Approaches

Nine glycosides ( 1–9 ) were characterized from the n‐butanol‐soluble fraction of the ethanolic extract of the leaves of Sageretia thea by the general approach. Among these, Compounds 6 and 7 were identified as a mixture. Application of HPLC‐SPE‐NMR in two selected fractions led to the separation of this mixture and the characterization of three additional minors ( 10–12 ). Among these, 7‐O‐methylmyricetin 3‐O‐α‐l ‐arabinofuranoside ( 8 ) is a new natural product and eight compounds, i.e. glucofragulin A ( 1 ), quercetin‐3‐O‐α‐l ‐arabinopyranoside ( 5 ), 3‐O‐β‐d ‐galactopyranoside ( 6 ), 3‐O‐β‐d ‐glucopyranoside ( 7 ), and 3‐O‐α‐l ‐arabinofuranoside ( 11 ), myricetin‐3‐O‐α‐l ‐arabinofuranoside ( 9 ) and 3‐O‐β‐d‐glucopyranoside ( 10 ), and quercetrin ( 12 ), are found for the first time from the title plant.     

An approach to identifying sequential metabolites of a typical phenylethanoid glycoside, echinacoside, based on liquid chromatography-ion trap-time of flight mass spectrometry analysis

Metabolite identification for the compounds that undergo multiple and sequential metabolism is still a great challenge. Echinacoside (ECH), a typical phenylethanoid glycoside, contains multiple unstable chemical bonds and high reactive functional groups which are susceptible to multiple pathways of degradation and metabolism, leading great difficulties for its metabolite identification. This study proposed a novel approach for rapidly identifying the complicated and unpredictable metabolites of ECH, based on the powerful liquid chromatography hybrid ion trap and time of flight mass spectrometry (LC/MS-IT-TOF) analysis. Four degradation products were rapidly identified via the “fragmentation-degradation” comparisons. Five phase I and phase II metabolites of the degradation products were rapidly characterized via the crossover mass differences comparisons of their quasi-molecular ions with the potential precursors. Four direct phase I and phase II metabolites of the parent compound were identified by the mass differences analysis of the molecular ions between metabolites and the parent compound. Multiple stages of fragmentation patterns were used to confirm the metabolites characterizations. This study provides a novel approach to characterizing the complicated metabolites, and would be widely applicable for the metabolite identification of natural products.

研究了ADS－7等吸附树脂对甜菊甙各组分的吸附选择性及色层吸附性能,发现ADS－7吸附树脂不仅在吸附甜菊甙时对各个组分呈现出一定的选择吸附顺序,在水洗时还有一定的选择洗脱顺序,这两个顺序正好相反。利用ADS－7吸对脂的这一色层性能,制备了富含甜度最高、味质最好的Rebaudioside A及几科不含色素的高品质甜菊甙,具有很好的实际应用意义。
