Naringin: Biosynthesis and Pharmaceutical Applications Review Article Naringin: Biosynthesis and Pharmaceutical Applications PRIYA SHARMA, V. KUMAR1 AND P. GULERIA* Plant Biotechnology & Genetic Engineering Lab, Dept of Biotechnology, DAV University, Jalandhar, Punjab-144 012, 1Department of Biotechnology, School of Bioengineering and Biosciences, Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab-141 114, India Sharma et al.: Biosynthesis and Pharmaceutical Applications of naringin Naringin is a plant flavonoid of huge medicinal importance. It is synthesized by the phenylpropanoid pathway via seven enzyme catalysed steps from phenylalanine to prunin. The genes encoding the enzymes of phenylpropanoid pathway have been cloned and characterized. Naringin has been known to possess antioxidant, antiinflammatory and antitumer potential. Exposure to naringinin vivo and in vitro in several test animals and cell lines has been reported to demonstrate activities that could treat asthma, hyperlipidaemia, diabetes, tumour, hyperthyroidism and osteoclastogenesis. Based on the reported research of naringin on test animals, naringin could be regarded as an efficient natural remedy for the treatment of human metabolic disorders. However, detailed exploration of naringin exposure on humans needs to be studied.

Abstract: Flavonoids belong to a class of plant secondary metabolites that have a polyphenol structure. Flavonoids show extensive biological activity, such as antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-mutagenic, anti-cancer, and antibacterial properties, so they are widely used in the food, phar- maceutical, and nutraceutical industries. However, traditional sources of flavonoids are no longer sufficient to meet current demands. In recent years, with the clarification of the biosynthetic pathway of flavonoids and the development of synthetic biology, it has become possible to use synthetic metabolic engineering methods with microorganisms as hosts to produce flavonoids. This article mainly reviews the biosynthetic pathways of flavonoids and the development of microbial expression systems for the production of flavonoids in order to provide a useful reference for further research on synthetic metabolic engineering of flavonoids. Meanwhile, the application of co-culture systems in the biosynthesis of flavonoids is emphasized in this review.

Golden, Colorado Date _____________________________ Signed: _____________________________ Meaghan E. Guyader Signed: _____________________________ Dr. Christopher P. Higgins Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date _____________________________ Signed: _____________________________ Dr. Terri S. Hogue Professor and Department Head Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering ii ABSTRACT On-site wastewater treatment systems (OWTSs) are a suspected source of widespread trace organic contaminant (TOrC) occurrence in Minnesota lakes. TOrCs are a diverse set of synthetic and natural chemicals regularly used as cleaning agents, personal care products, medicinal substances, herbicides and pesticides, and foods or flavorings. Wastewater streams are known to concentrate TOrC discharges to the environment, particularly accumulating these chemicals at outfalls from centralized wastewater treatment plants. Fish inhabiting these effluent dominated environments are also known to display intersex qualities. Concurrent evidence of this phenomenon, known as endocrine disruption, in Minnesota lake fish drives hypotheses that OWTSs, the primary form of wastewater treatment in shoreline residences, may contribute to TOrC occurrence and the endocrine activity in these water bodies. The causative agents specific to fish in this region remain poorly understood. The objective of this dissertation was to investigate OWTSs as sources of TOrCs in Minnesota lakes, and TOrCs as potential causative agents for endocrine disruption in resident fish.

The extract from leaves of Perilla frutescens contains favonoids and volatile oils, which are mainly used in traditional Chinese medicine. In this study, we analyzed the transcriptomic and metabolomic data of the leaves of two Perilla frutescens varieties: JIZI 1 and JIZI 2. A total of 9277 diferentially expressed genes and 223 favonoid metabolites were identifed in these varieties. Chrysoeriol, apigenin, malvidin, cyanidin, kaempferol, and their derivatives were abundant in the leaves of Perilla frutescens, which were more than 70% of total favonoid contents. A total of 77 unigenes encoding 15 enzymes were identifed as candidate genes involved in favonoid biosynthesis in the leaves of Perilla frutescens. High expression of the CHS gene enhances the accumulation of favonoids in the leaves of Perilla frutescens. Our results provide valuable information on the favonoid metabolites and candidate genes involved in the favonoid biosynthesis pathways in the leaves of Perilla frutescens. Perilla frutescens (L.), which is a self-compatible annual herb, belongs to the family Lamiaceae. Tis species has been widely cultivated in China, Japan, and Korea for centuries.

  • Combinatorial Biosynthesis of Non-Bacterial and Unnatural Flavonoids, Stilbenoids and Curcuminoids by Microorganisms Sueharu Horinouchi
    J. Antibiot. 61(12): 709–728, 2008 THE JOURNAL OF REVIEW ARTICLE ANTIBIOTICS Combinatorial Biosynthesis of Non-bacterial and Unnatural Flavonoids, Stilbenoids and Curcuminoids by Microorganisms Sueharu Horinouchi Received: August 1, 2008 / Accepted: October 14, 2008 © Japan Antibiotics Research Association Abstract One of the approaches of combinatorial biosynthesis is combining genes from different organisms and designing a new set of gene clusters to produce bioactive compounds, leading to diversification of both chemical and natural product libraries. This makes efficient use of the potential of the host organisms, especially when microorganisms are used. An Escherichia coli system, in which artificial biosynthetic pathways for production of plant-specific medicinal polyketides, such as flavonoids, stilbenoids, isoflavonoids, and curcuminoids, are assembled, has been designed and expressed. Starting with amino acids tyrosine and phenylalanine as substrates, this system yields naringenin, resveratrol, genistein, and curcumin, for example, all of which are beneficial to human health because of their wide variety of biological activities. Supplementation of unnatural carboxylic acids to the recombinant E. coli cells carrying the artificial pathways by precursor-directed biosynthesis results in production of unnatural compounds. Addition of decorating or modification enzymes to the artificial pathway leads to production of natural and unnatural flavonols, flavones, and methylated resveratrols. This microbial system is promising for construction of larger libraries by employing other polyketide synthases and decorating enzymes of various origins. In addition, the concept of building and expressing artificial biosynthetic pathways for production of non-bacterial and unnatural compounds in microorganisms should be successfully applied to production of not only plant-specific polyketides but also many other useful compound classes.

The optimization process allowed for high sensitivity with detection limits of approximately picogram order using an electrospray ionization (ESI) source in negative mode and an experiment based on multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). The validation parameters showed excellent linearity and detection limits, with a precision of less than 8% and a recovery of over 90%. This methodology was applied to compare the pharmacokinetic parameters for the administration of hesperidin and naringenin in individual form or in the form of a mixture.

Glycosylation usually improves flavonoid solubility but access to flavonoid glycosides is limited by their low production levels in plants. In this thesis work, the focus was placed on the development of new glucodiversification routes of natural flavonoids by taking advantage of protein engineering. Two biochemically and structurally characterized recombinant transglucosylases, the amylosucrase from Neisseria polysaccharea and the α-(1→2) branching sucrase, a truncated form of the dextransucrase from L. Mesenteroides NRRL B-1299, were selected to attempt glucosylation of different flavonoids, synthesize new α-glucoside derivatives with original patterns of glucosylation and hopefully improved their water-solubility.

Six flavanon glycosides: eriocitrin, neoeriocitrin, narirutin, naringin, hesperidin, and neohesperidin, and three flavone glycosides: diosmin, 6~-di- C-p-glucosyldiosmin (DGD), and 6- C-p-glucosyldiosmin (GD) were identified by high- performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. Their antioxidative activity was examined using a linoleic acid autoxidation system. The antioxidative activity of eriocitrin, neoeriocitrin and DGD was stronger than that of the others. Flavonoid glycosides were present primarily in the peel of lemon fruit. There was only a small difference in the content of the flavonoid glycosides of the lemon fruit juice from various sources and varieties. Lemon fruit contained abundant amounts of eriocitrin and hesperidin and also contained narirutin, diosmin, and DGD, but GD, neoeriocitrin, naringin, and neohesperidin were present only in trace amounts. The content of DGD, GD, and eriocitrin was especially abundant in lemons and limes; however, they were scarcely found in other citrus fruits. The content of flavonoid compounds in lemon juice obtained by an in-line extractor at a juice factory was more abundant than that obtained by hand-squeezing. These compounds were found to be stable even under heat treatment conditions (121'C, 15 min) in acidic solution.

Therefore, various types of interconnection exist between different aspects of nitrogen metabolism and the biosynthesis of these compounds. For legumes, flavonoids and isoflavonoids are postulated to play pivotal roles in adaptation to their biological environments, both as defensive compounds (phytoalexins) and as chemical signals in symbiotic nitrogen fixation with rhizobia. In this paper, we summarize the recent progress made in the characterization of flavonoid and isoflavonoid biosynthetic pathways in the model legume Lotus japonicus (Regel) Larsen under different abiotic stress situations, such as drought, the impairment of photorespiration and UV-B irradiation. Emphasis is placed on results obtained using photorespiratory mutants deficient in glutamine synthetase.

Koffas) Xanthohumol (XN) and demethylxanthohumol (DMX) are special- braries have been deposited in the TrichOME database [www. ized prenylated chalconoids with multiple pharmaceutical appli- planttrichome.org (18)], and numerous large RNAseq datasets from cations that accumulate to high levels in the glandular trichomes different hop tissues or cultivars have also been made publically of hops (Humulus lupulus L.). Although all structural enzymes in available. By mining the hops transcriptome data, we and others have the XN pathway have been functionally identified, biochemical functionally identified several key terpenophenolic biosynthetic en- mechanisms underlying highly efficient production of XN have zymes from hop glandular trichomes (1, 18–23); these include car- not been fully resolved. In this study, we characterized two non- boxyl CoA ligase (CCL) genes and two aromatic prenyltransferase catalytic chalcone isomerase (CHI)-like proteins (designated as (PT) genes (HlPT1L and HlPT2) (22, 23).
