Acylation of flavonoid glucosides with carboxylic acids containing an aromatic ring brings entirely new properties to these compounds. Here, we describe the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of a series of IQ derivatives at the C-600. IQ benzoate, phenylacetate, phenylpropanoate and cinnamate were prepared from respective vinyl esters using Novozym 435 (Lipase B from Candida antarctica immobilized on acrylic resin). The enzymatic procedure gave no products with “hydroxyaromatic” acids, their vinyl esters nor with their benzyl-protected forms. A chemical protection/deprotection method using Steglich reaction yielded IQ 4-hydroxybenzoate, vanillate and gallate. In case of p-coumaric, caffeic, and ferulic acid, the deprotection lead to the saturation of the double bonds at the phenylpropanoic moiety and yielded 4-hydroxy-, 3,4-dihydroxy- and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy-phenylpropanoates. Reducing capacity of the cinnamate, gallate and 4-hydroxyphenylpropanoate towards Folin-Ciocalteau reagent was significantly lower than that of IQ, while other derivatives displayed slightly better or comparable capacity. Compared to isoquercitrin, most derivatives were less active in 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, but they showed significantly better 2,20-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid, ABTS) scavenging activity and were substantially more active in the inhibition of tert-butylhydroperoxide induced lipid peroxidation of rat liver microsomes. The most active compounds were the hydroxyphenylpropanoates. Keywords: isoquercitrin; aromatic acid; gallic acid; cinnamic acid; antioxidant activity; Novozym 435; lipase; DPPH; lipoperoxidation 1. Introduction Plant polyphenols are attractive for researchers and food producers due to their free radical scavenging and other, mostly positive, biological activities. Generally low toxicity of the polyphenols is another positive feature. One of the most popular flavonoids with a large number of health benefits is quercetin [1]. Some controversies concerning its possible mutagenic effects (positive Ames test) were closed and this substance now has a Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status from the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) [2]. Its glucosylated form is isoquercitrin (1, IQ, quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, Figure1), which can be found in fruits (apples, berries), vegetables (onions), medicinal plants (St. John’s worth) and in various plant-derived beverages (tea, wine) [3,4]. IQ is known as a strong chemoprotectant [4] against cardiovascular diseases [5], asthma [6], and diabetes [7]. Recently, an efficient method of biocatalytic production of pure IQ from rutin was Int.

Many health beneficial effects have been acknowledged in food products rich in HCAs; however, food processing, dietary intake, bioaccessibility and pharmacokinetics have a high impact on HCAs to reach the target tissue in order to exert their biological activities. In particular, metabolism is of high importance since HCAs’ metabolites could either lose the activity or be even more potent compared to the parent compounds. In this review, natural sources and pharmacokinetic properties of HCAs and their esters are presented and discussed. The main focus is on their metabolism along with biological activities and health benefits. Special emphasis is given on specific effects of HCAs’ metabolites in comparison with their parent compounds. Keywords: diet; natural compounds; phenolic acids; hydroxycinnamic acids; metabolites; pharmacokinetic properties; biological activities; health effects 1. Introduction Our diet rich in plant food contains several health-beneficial ingredients. Among such ingredients, polyphenols represent one of the most important natural compounds. Phenolic compounds are members of probably the largest group of plant secondary metabolites and have the main function to protect the plants against ultraviolet radiation or invasion by pathogens [1,2].

  • Structure-Activity Relationships of Phenolic and Nonphenolic Aromatic
    Use of pheromones and other semiochemicals in integrated production IOBC wprs Bulletin Vol. 25(•) 2002 pp. •-• Structure-activity relationships of phenolic and nonphenolic aromatic acids as oviposition stimuli for the spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) G. G. Grant and D. Langevin Canadian Forest Service, P.O. Box 490, Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada P6A 5M7 Abstract - In a study of carboxylic acids affecting oviposition preference of the spruce budworm, a major defoliator of conifers in North America, nonphenolic aromatic acids and phenolic acids were compared in a dual-choice bioassay to assess structure-activity relationships. Among a series of nonphenolic aromatic acids with a C1 - C6 alkanoic, C3 - C4 alkenoic or C3 alkynoic side chain, females displayed the greatest preference for acids with a saturated C3 - C4 side chain (MW = 150 -164) at dosages of 78.6 and 786 nmol/cm2. This behavioral activity was consistent with the pre- viously reported strong oviposition preference of female budworm for aliphatic acids of similar molecular weight; that is, for C8 - C10 straight chain carboxylic acids (MW = 144 - 172) and cy- clohexyl carboxylic acids (MW = 142 -170). In contrast, comparable phenolic acids at the same dosages acted as oviposition deterrents. In general, the deterrent effect of phenolic acids was greatest when the length of the acid side chain consisted of 3 carbons and the number of hydrox- yl and/or methoxy groups on the aromatic ring was greater than one. Ferulic and sinapic acids exemplified this trend and were the strongest deterrents among the phenolic acids tested. Appar- ently, the presence or absence of an hydroxyl (or methoxy) group on the aromatic ring accounts for the difference in the observed behavioral effects between the two groups of aromatic com- pounds.

MEYERS Oceanography Program, Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science, The University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI 48109, U.S.A. (Received 7 April 1983; accepted 16 August 1983) Abstract--Humic matter fractions from modern sediments of Lake Huron and Lake Michigan have been compared. Large yields of saccharinic acids from alkaline hydrolysis suggest that these fractions contain large portions of carbohydrate materials. Evidence for contributions of aquatic lipid (C-16 fatty acids) and of liginin (phenolic acids) to these sediments is also present in the hydrolysis products. Qualitative differences among fulvic acid, humic acid and humin from the same lake are minor, suggesting common (or similar) organic sources for these fractions. The lability of sedimentary humic matter to alkaline hydrolysis is inversely related to its degree of exposure to oxidative weathering. Lability may also be related to diagenetic state as fulvic acids generally yield greater quantities of hydrolysis components than humic acids which in turn yield more than humin.

Based on previ- ous observations, we hypothesized that the probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum interacts with cranberry polyphenols and dietary oligosaccharides to synergistically impact its physiology. In this study, L. plantarum ATCC BAA-793 was grown on dietary oligosaccharides, including cranberry xyloglucans, fructooligosaccharides, and human milk oligosaccharides, in conjunction with proanthocyanidins (PACs) extracted from cranberries. As a result, L. plantarum exhibits a differential physiological re- sponse to cranberry PACs dependent on the carbohydrate source and polyphenol fraction introduced. Of the two PAC extracts evaluated, the PAC1 fraction contains higher concentrations of PACs and increased growth regardless of the oligosaccharide, whereas PAC2 positively modulates its growth during xyloglucan metabolism.
