Cell Suspension Cultures’ THOMAS KijHNL, ULRICH KOCH, WERNER HELLER, AND ECKARD WELLMANN Biologisches Institut II der Universitti Fm&wg, Schiinzlestrasse I, D-7800 Frea’burg, Federal Republic of Germany Received March 19,1987, and in revised form June 16,1987 Microsomal preparations from carrot (Daucus carota L.) cell suspension cultures cat- alyze the formation of tram-50-caffeoyl-D-quinate (chlorogenate) from trans-5-O-(4- coumaroyl)-D-quinate. trans-5-0-(4-Coumaroyl)shikimate is converted to about the same extent to trans-5Gcaffeoylshikimate. trans-4-0-(4-Coumaroyl)-D-quinate, tram-3-0-(4- coumaroyl)-D-quinate, trane-lcoumarate, and c&Z-5-0-(4-coumaroyl)-D-quinate do not act as substrates. The reaction is strictly dependent on molecular oxygen and on NADPH as reducing cofactor. NADH and ascorbic acid cannot substitute for NADPH. Cytochrome c, Tetcyclacis, and carbon monoxide inhibit the reaction suggesting a cytochrome P- 450-dependent mixed-function monooxygenase. Competition experiments as well as in- duction and inhibition phenomena indicate that there is only one enzyme species which is responsible for the hydroxylation of the 5-0-(4-coumaric) esters of both D-quinate and shikimate. The activity of this enzyme is greatly increased by in V&JOirradiation of the cells with blue/uv light. We conclude that the biosynthesis of the predominant caffeic acid conjugates in carrot cells occurs via the corresponding I-coumaric acid esters. Thus, in this system, 5-O-(4-coumaroyl)-D-quinate can be seen as the final intermediate in the chlorogenic acid pathway. 8 1987Academic press. I~C.

Park Diet, Genomics, and Immunology Laboratory, BHNRC, ARS, USDA, Beltsville, MD 20705, USA Received 15 February 2008; received in revised form 18 July 2008; accepted 25 July 2008 Abstract Caffeic acid and 5-caffeoylquinic acid are naturally occurring phenolic acid and its quinic acid ester found in plants. In this article, potential effects of 5-caffeoylquinic acid and caffeic acid on P-selectin expression were investigated due to its significant involvement in platelet activation. First, the effects of 5-caffeoylquinic acid and caffeic acid on cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes were determined due to their profound involvement in regulating P-selectin expression on platelets. At the concentration of 0.05 μM, 5-caffeoylquinic acid and caffeic acid were both able to inhibit COX-I enzyme activity by 60% (Pb.013) and 57% (Pb.017), respectively. At the same concentration, 5-caffeoylquinic acid and caffeic acid were also able to inhibit COX-II enzyme activity by 59% (Pb.012) and 56% (Pb.015), respectively. As expected, 5-caffeoylquinic acid and caffeic acid were correspondingly able to inhibit P-selectin expression on the platelets by 33% (Pb.011) and 35% (Pb.018), at the concentration of 0.05 μM. In animal studies, 5-caffeoylquinic acid and caffeic acid orally administered to mice were detected as intact forms in the plasma. Also, P-selectin expression was respectively reduced by 21% (Pb.016) and 44% (Pb.019) in the plasma samples from mice orally administered 5-caffeoylquinic acid (400 μg per 30 g body weight) and caffeic acid (50 μg per 30 g body weight).

A Both authors contributed equally 1 Abstract Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) is one of the most widely consumed fresh and processed vegetables in the world, and contains bioactive key components. Phenolic compounds are one of those components and, according to the present study, farmer’ varieties of tomato cultivated in homegardens from the northeastern Portuguese region are a source of phenolic compounds, mainly phenolic acid derivatives. Using HPLC-DAD-ESI/MS, it was concluded that a cis p-coumaric acid derivative was the most abundant compound in yellow (“Amarelo”) and round (“Batateiro”) tomato varieties, while 4-O-caffeolyquinic acid was the most abundant one in long (“Comprido”) and heart (“Coração”) varieties. The most abundant flavonoid was quercetin pentosylrutinoside in the four tomato varieties. Yellow tomato presented the highest levels of phenolic compounds (54.23 µg/g fw), including phenolic acids (43.30 µg/g fw) and flavonoids (10.93 µg/g fw).

J, Rio de Janeiro 21941-902, Brazil; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +55-21-39386449 Received: 11 December 2018; Accepted: 15 January 2019; Published: 1 February 2019 Abstract: Chlorogenic acids (CGA) are the main antioxidant compounds in the Western diet, due to their high concentrations in coffee associated with the high consumption of the beverage. Until about 10 years ago, like many other phenolic compounds, CGA were thought to be poorly absorbed in the human digestive system. Along the years, large amounts of information on the absorption and metabolism of these compounds have been unveiled, and today, it is known that, on average, about one third of the consumed CGA from coffee is absorbed in the human gastrointestinal tract, although large inter-individual variation exists. Considering results from in vitro animal and human studies, it is possible to conclude that the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of coffee CGA are responsible for, at least to a certain extent, the association between coffee consumption and lower incidence of various degenerative and non-degenerative diseases, in addition to higher longevity. Keywords: chlorogenic acids; coffee beverages; consumption; health effects 1. Introduction Chlorogenic acids (CGA), esters of trans-hydroxycinnamic acids and quinic acid (Figure1), were discovered in 1837 [1]. They were first thought to be caffetannic acid [2], which was in fact a mixture of different acids.

Lorenzetti1, Filippo Maggi3, Mauro Serafini2, Armandodoriano Bianco1 1Department of ABSTRACT Chemistry, Sapienza Background: The phytochemical analysis of Stachys alopecuros subsp. divulsa, an endemic Italian species, has University of Rome, been recently reported and has showed the presence of 8-O-acetylharpagide (2), harpagide (3), allobetonicoside (4), Rome, Italy, 2Department of Environmental Biology, and 4′-O-galactopyranosyl-teuhircoside (5). In this paper, an in deep study of its glycosidic fraction with the aim to Sapienza University widen the knowledge on its secondary metabolites content is reported. Materials and Methods: Chromatographic of Rome, Rome, Italy, techniques were used for the isolation of constituents while spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques were 3School of Pharmacy, applied for the structures elucidation. Results: Besides the known constituents, all of them reconfirmed, Università di Camerino, ajugoside (1), reptoside (6) and 6-O-acetyl-ajugol (7) were also identified among the iridoids while the phenolic Camerino, Italy components resulted to be chlorogenic acid (8), β-arbutin (9), verbascoside (10), and stachysoside A (11), instead. Conclusion: The iridoid pattern of S. alopecuros subsp. divulsa has been expanded with the identification of not Address for correspondence: Alessandro Venditti, previously reported compounds as well as for the phenolic fraction. Except for the reconfirmed verbascoside (10), Dipartimento di Chimica, the other phenolic compounds were recognized for the first time in the studied species.

Abstract: Pitahaya peel is a good source of bioactive polyphenols. However, the bound phenolics and their antioxidant activity remain unclear. The bound phenolics of pitahaya peel from two red-skinned species with red pulp (RP) and white pulp (WP) were released with different methods (acid, base, and composite enzymes hydrolysis). The results revealed that base hydrolysis was the most efficient method for releasing the bound phenolics from RP (11.6 mg GAE/g DW) and WP (10.5 mg GAE/g DW), which was 13.04-fold and 8.18-fold for RP and 75.07-fold and 10.94-fold for WP compared with acid hydrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis, respectively. A total of 37 phenolic compounds were identified by UPLC-TOF/MS with most chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid and p-coumaric Citation: Tang, W.; Li, W.; Yang, Y.; Lin, X.; Wang, L.; Li, C.; Yang, R.
