  • CHANGES of POLYPHENOL COMPOUND CONCENTRATIONS in HYBRIDS of NANTE TYPE CARROTS DURING STORAGE Ingrîda Augðpole, Tatjana Kince, and Ingmârs Cinkmanis
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE LATVIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. Section B, Vol. 71 (2017), No. 6 (711), pp. 492–495. DOI: 10.1515/prolas-2017-0085 CHANGES OF POLYPHENOL COMPOUND CONCENTRATIONS IN HYBRIDS OF NANTE TYPE CARROTS DURING STORAGE Ingrîda Augðpole, Tatjana Kince, and Ingmârs Cinkmanis Faculty of Food Technology, Latvia University of Agriculture, 22 Rîgas Str., Jelgava, LV-3001, LATVIA Corresponding author, [email protected] Communicated by Andris Ozols The main purpose of the study was to determine changes of polyphenol concentrations in hybrids of Nante type carrots during storage. Fresh Nante type ‘Forto’ variety carrots and carrot hybrids ‘Bolero’ F1, ‘Champion’ F1, and ‘Maestro’ F1 were cultivated in the Zemgale region of Latvia. Car- rots were stored for six months in air (+3 ± 1 oC, RH = 89 ± 1%) and polyphenol compound con- centrations were determined at two month intervals. High-performance liquid chromatography was used to determine concentrations of eight polyphenols in carrots: gallic acid, catechin, epicatechin, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, vanillin, and rutin. Significant differences occurred in polyphenol concentrations of fresh Nante type variety ‘Forto’ carrots and several hy- brids (‘Bolero’ F1, ‘Champion’ F1, and ‘Maestro’ F1) during storage. After six months of storage, the concentration of polyphenol compounds of Nante type carrots decreased — caffeic acid by 64.6%, chlorogenic acid — by 37.9% and vanillin — by 81.5%. However, during storage, concen- tration of some polyphenol compounds increased, as catechin by 30.5%, epicatechin by 85.2%, gallic acid by 48.5% and ferulic acid by 87.9%. Key words: carrots, polyphenols compounds, storage. INTRODUCTION rings to one another.

The underlying toxicity mechanism is not well understood. Here, 3-week-old cucumber plants were foliar exposed to different copper concentrations (10, 100, and 500 mg/L) for a final dose of 0.21, 2.1, and 10 mg/plant, using CuSO4 as the Cu ion source for 7 days, three times per day. Metabolomics quantified 149 primary and 79 secondary metabolites. A number of intermediates of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle were significantly down-regulated 1.4−2.4 fold, indicating a perturbed carbohy- drate metabolism. Ascorbate and aldarate metabolism and shikimate- phenylpropanoid biosynthesis (antioxidant and defense related pathways) were perturbed by excess copper. These metabolic responses occur even at the lowest copper dose considered although no phenotype changes were observed at this dose. High copper dose resulted in a 2-fold increase in phytol, a degradation product of chlorophyll.

    Mohieldin et al. BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine (2017) 17:224 DOI 10.1186/s12906-017-1735-y RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Inhibitory activities of selected Sudanese medicinal plants on Porphyromonas gingivalis and matrix metalloproteinase-9 and isolation of bioactive compounds from Combretum hartmannianum (Schweinf) bark Ebtihal Abdalla M. Mohieldin1,2, Ali Mahmoud Muddathir3* and Tohru Mitsunaga2 Abstract Background: Periodontal diseases are one of the major health problems and among the most important preventable global infectious diseases. Porphyromonas gingivalis is an anaerobic Gram-negative bacterium which has been strongly implicated in the etiology of periodontitis. Additionally, matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9) is an important factor contributing to periodontal tissue destruction by a variety of mechanisms. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the selected Sudanese medicinal plants against P. gingivalis bacteria and their inhibitory activities on MMP-9. Methods: Sixty two methanolic and 50% ethanolic extracts from 24 plants species were tested for antibacterial activity against P. gingivalis using microplate dilution assay method to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The inhibitory activity of seven methanol extracts selected from the 62 extracts against MMP-9 was determined by Colorimetric Drug Discovery Kit. In search of bioactive lead compounds, Combretum hartmannianum bark which was found to be within the most active plant extracts was subjected to various chromatographic (medium pressure liquid chromatography, column chromatography on a Sephadex LH-20, preparative high performance liquid chromatography) and spectroscopic methods (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)) to isolate and characterize flavogalonic acid dilactone and terchebulin as bioactive compounds. Results: About 80% of the crude extracts provided a MIC value ≤4 mg/ml against bacteria.

  • 102 4. Biosynthesis of Natural Products Derived from Shikimic Acid
    102 4. Biosynthesis of Natural Products Derived from Shikimic Acid 4.1. Phenyl-Propanoid Natural Products (C6-C3) The biosynthesis of the aromatic amino acids occurs through the shikimic acid pathway, which is found in plants and microorganisms (but not in animals). We (humans) require these amino acids in our diet, since we are unable to produce them. For this reason, molecules that can inhibit enzymes on the shikimate pathway are potentially useful as antibiotics or herbicides, since they should not be toxic for humans. COO COO NH R = H Phenylalanine 3 R = OH Tyrosine R NH3 N Tryptophan H The aromatic amino acids also serve as starting materials for the biosynthesis of many interesting natural products. Here we will focus on the so-called phenyl-propanoide (C6-C3) natural products, e.g.: OH OH OH HO O HO OH HO O Chalcone OH O a Flavone OH O OH O a Flavonone OH OH Ar RO O O O HO O O OH O OR OH Anthocyanine OH O a Flavonol Podophyllotoxin MeO OMe OMe OH COOH Cinnamyl alcohol HO O O Cinnamic acid OH (Zimtsäure) Umbellierfone OH a Coumarin) MeO OH O COOH HO Polymerization OH Wood OH HO OH O OH MeO OMe Shikimic acid O HO 4.2. Shikimic acid biosynthesis The shikimic acid pathway starts in carbohydrate metabolism. Given the great social and industrial significance of this pathway, the enzymes have been intensively investigated. Here we will focus on the mechanisms of action of several key enzymes in the pathway.

Carlesiin A was identified as 1-O-galloyl-4,6-(S)-tergalloyl-β-D-glucose. Carlesiin B is a macrocyclic ellagitannin dimer with a symmetrical structure composed of two tergalloyl and two glucopyranose moieties. Their structures were elucidated based on spectroscopic and chemical evidence. INTRODUCTION The species in the Castanopsis (Fagaceae) genus are evergreen trees that are found in East Asia, sometimes as the dominant species in a forest. These trees are often used as forestry or ornamental trees, and the wood is an important construction material. There are about 120 species in the genus, but the chemical compositions of only a few species have been studied.

Received: 13 April 2019; Accepted: 22 May 2019; Published: 29 May 2019 Abstract: Some species of the Ericaceae family have been intensively studied because of the beneficial health impact, known since ancient times, of their chemical components. Since most studies focus on the effects of fruit consumption, this review aims to highlight the phenolic components present in the leaves. For this purpose, five species from Ericaceae family (bilberry—Vaccinium myrtillus L., lingonberry—V. vitis-idaea L., bog bilberry—V. uliginosum L., blueberry—V. corymbosum L. and bearberry—Arctostapylos uva-ursi L.) were considered, four of which can be found in spontaneous flora. The chemical composition of the leaves revealed three major phenolic compounds: chlorogenic acid, quercetin and arbutin. The health promoting functions of these compounds, such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that could have preventive effects for cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders, cancer, and obesity, have been exemplified by both in vitro and in vivo studies in this review.

Summary ALDESUQUY H. S. & IBRAHIM A. H. A. 2000. The role of shikimic acid in regulation of growth, transpiration, pigmentation, photosynthetic activity and productivity of Vigna sinensis plants. - Phyton (Horn, Austria) 40 (2): 277-292, with 4 figures. - English with German summary. The effect of shikimic acid on growth parameters, total leaf conductivity, tran- spiration, photosynthetic pigments, 14C assimilation and productivity of Vigna si- nensis (Fabaceae - Phaseoleae) plants was studied. Shikimic acid application led to an increase in fresh and dry weights of cowpea plants and enhances leaf expansion as well as the root length and plant height. Seed pretreatment with shikimic acid at various doses induces a marked in- crease in total leaf conductivity and transpiration rate at different stages of growth.

  • 357 Ruminal Biosynthesis of Aromatic Amino Acids from Arylacetic Acids
    Downloaded from 357 https://www.cambridge.org/core Ruminal biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids from arylacetic acids, glucose, shikirnic acid and phenol BY S. KRISTENSEN Organic Chemical Laboratory, Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University, Copenhagen, Denmark . IP address: (Received 19 July 1973 - Accepted 15 October 1973) 170.106.33.14 I. Ruminal metabolism of labelled phenylacetic acid, 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, indole- 3-acetic acid, glucose, shikimic acid,, phenol, and serine was studied in vitro by short-term incubation with special reference to incorporation rates into aromatic amino acids. 2. Earlier reports on reductive carboxylation of phenylacetic acid and indole-3-acetic , on acid in the rumen were confirmed and the formation of tyrosine from 4-hydroxyphenylacetic 02 Oct 2021 at 07:13:11 acid was demonstrated for the first time. 3. The amount of pllenylulanine synthesized from phenylacetic acid was estimated to be 2 mg/l rumen contents pcr 24 h, whereas the amount synthesized from glucose might be eight times as great, depending on diet. 4. Shikimic acid was a poor precursor of the aromatic amino acids, presumably owing to its slow entry into rumen bacteria. 5. A slow conversion of phenol into tyrosine was observed. , subject to the Cambridge Core terms of use, available at The mechanisms of biosynthesis of rumen amino acids have been reviewed by Allison (1969). Most of these conform to known pathways, but new pathways have been established for the biosynthesis of glutamate (Emmanuel & Milligan, 197z), the branched-chain amino acids (Allison & Bryant, 1963), phenylalanine, and tryptophan (see below). It has been shown that all these substances are synthesized by reduction, carboxylation, and amination of their corresponding fatty acids with one carbon less.
