HYBRID COMPOUNDS IN NATURAL INTERSPECIFIC HYBRIDS* BY R. E. ALSTON, H. ROSLER,t K. NAIFEH, AND T. J. MABRY CELL RESEARCH INSTITUTE AND DEPARTMENT OF BOTANY, UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS Communicated by Wilson S. Stone, September 9,1965 Since the more recent applications of chemical methods to the study of natural interspecific hybridization, there has been considerable interest in the theoretical question of whether or not new structural configurations occur in such hybrids; i.e., hybrid-specific products formed by the combined enzymatic complements of the parents. Many years ago, Reichert' called attention to the fact that hybrids oc- casionally exhibited unexpected flower colors. The appearance of new compounds has been suggested from chemical analyses of interspecific hybrids. Alston and Turner2 described four hybrid-specific flavonoids in the leaves of the hybrid Baptisia leucantha X B. sphaerocarpa, but the compounds were later shown to occur in the flower petals of the latter species.3 Other sporadic suggestions of the occurrence of such hybrid-specific substances have not been followed by definitive experimental proof of their existence. Diverse genetic studies of flavonoid compounds (the only such extensively investigated plant secondary compounds) have invariably shown that simple mendelian mechanisms govern qualitative differences in these com- pounds.4 From current knowledge of the types of flavonoid compounds which are widely distributed in plants, it is possible to predict a large number of ways in which hybrid substances might occur. This question is important to systematic studies utilizing variability in the patterns of secondary compounds as systematic criteria. We are concerned here with a number of hypothetical compounds which could be expected to exist in the following natural hybrids of Baptisia: B. leucantha X B. sphaerocarpa; B. alba X B. tinctoria; and B. alba X B. perfoliata. Other hybrid- type molecules may be predicted to occur in other known Baptisia hybrid combina- Downloaded by guest on September 26, 2021 VOL. 54, 1965 GENETICS: ALSTON ET AL. 1459 tions, but in these other situations the necessary 2 3.

R H; quercetin, methods for the crude plant extracts and for the detection of the flavonoids were similar to those reported in our previous work.' Complete characterization of the glycosidic moieties of compounds 74, 75, and 77 has not been achieved, but it is known that 74 is a 3-monoglycoside of quercetin, and 75 and 77 are 3-mono- and diglycosides of kaempferol, respectively. The complete chemical characterization of these compounds is not central to the present discussion. Compound 76 is rutin; (quercetin 3-[6-0-(a-L-rhamno)-13-D-glucoside] i.e., quercetin 3-f3-rutinoside). It has been isolated from Baptisia alba and identified, utilizing such chemical criteria as NMR spectroscopy and by comparison with authentic material. The details of the structure elucidation of compounds 68-71 of Baptisia sphaero- carpa will be reported elsewhere;6 therefore, the different techniques required will only be summarized here. Compounds 70 and 71 were obtained crystalline and their structures were determined primarily by NMR spectroscopy of the tri- methylsilyl ethers.7" Independent confirmation of the glucosyl moieties was effected by enzyme hydrolysis with emulsin.8 In addition, acid hydrolysis of all the glyco- sidic linkages followed by gas chromatographic analysis of the trimethylsilylated sugars7b determined the nature of-the individual sugars present. Compound 71 is quercetin 3-f-D-glucosyl-7-,B-rutinoside, and compound 70 is quercetin 3,7-di-,B-D- glucoside. Compound 71 was converted to a 5,3',4'-trimethyl-ether whose NMR spectrum was identical in all respects with the spectrum of the compound obtained by oxidation of hesperidin (5,3'-dihydroxy4'-methoxy-flavanone-7-,B-rutinoside) to the corresponding flavonol, glucosylation at the 3-position, and finally methylation of the phenolic hydroxyl groups. This confirms the identification of compound 71 as quercetin 3-,B-D-glucosyl-7-,B-rutinoside. Compound 69, a product of partial hydrolysis of 71 with 10 per cent acetic acid, is quercetin 7-0-rutinoside; 3-glycosyl groups are units known to be rapidly hydrolyzed by acid treatment relative to the 7-glycosyl group. Compound 68, a product obtained by partial acid hydrolysis of quercetin 3,7-di-,B-D-glucoside (70), is quercetin 7-,B-D-glucoside. A compound designated as 71a occurs in Baptisia alba and chromatographs the same as compound 71. However, it yields rutin (76), upon hydrolysis by emulsin. Thus, compound 71a is quercetin 3-f3-rutinoside-7-f3-D-glucoside and differs from compound 71 only in the position of attachment of the sugar moieties to the querce- tin nucleus. Quercetin 3-f3-rutinoside-7-f3-D-glucoside was subsequently synthe- sized from rutin, and the synthetic material ran at the same chromatographic posi- tion as compound 71a isolated from B. alba, thus providing additional proof of the identification of compound 71a. Kaempferol 7-f3-neohesperidoside was obtained from the flavanone glycoside naringin by standard methods.

  • Antibiotic Additive and Synergistic Action of Rutin, Morin and Quercetin Against Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
    Amin et al. BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine (2015) 15:59 DOI 10.1186/s12906-015-0580-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Antibiotic additive and synergistic action of rutin, morin and quercetin against methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus Muhammad Usman Amin1†, Muhammad Khurram2*†, Baharullah Khattak1† and Jafar Khan1† Abstract Background: To determine the effect of flavonoids in conjunction with antibiotics in methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) a study was designed. The flavonoids included Rutin, Morin, Qurecetin while antibiotics included ampicillin, amoxicillin, cefixime, ceftriaxone, vancomycin, methicillin, cephradine, erythromycin, imipenem, sulphamethoxazole/trimethoprim, ciprofloxacin and levolfloxacin. Test antibiotics were mostly found resistant with only Imipenem and Erythromycin found to be sensitive against 100 MRSA clinical isolates and S. aureus (ATCC 43300). The flavonoids were tested alone and also in different combinations with selected antibiotics. Methods: Antibiotics and flavonoids sensitivity assays were carried using disk diffusion method. The combinations found to be effective were sifted through MIC assays by broth macro dilution method. Exact MICs were determined using an incremental increase approach. Fractional inhibitory concentration indices (FICI) were determined to evaluate relationship between antibiotics and flavonoids is synergistic or additive. Potassium release was measured to determine the effect of antibiotic-flavonoids combinations on the cytoplasmic membrane of test bacteria. Results: Antibiotic and flavonoids screening assays indicated activity of flavanoids against test bacteria. The inhibitory zones increased when test flavonoids were combined with antibiotics facing resistance. MICs of test antibiotics and flavonoids reduced when they were combined. Quercetin was the most effective flavonoid (MIC 260 μg/ml) while morin + rutin + quercetin combination proved most efficient with MIC of 280 + 280 + 140 μg/ml.

Gaertn.) are sources of many bioactive compounds, such as rutin, quercetin, emodin, fagopyrin and other (poly)phenolics. In damaged or milled grain under wet conditions, most of the rutin in common and Tartary buckwheat is degraded to quercetin by rutin-degrading enzymes (e.g., rutinosidase). From Tartary buckwheat varieties with low rutinosidase activity it is possible to prepare foods with high levels of rutin, with the preserved initial levels in the grain. The quercetin from rutin degradation in Tartary buckwheat grain is responsible in part for inhibition of α-glucosidase in the intestine, which helps to maintain normal glucose levels in the blood.

This is the first study to examine the characteristics of the flavonoids in niihime fruit. The content of flavonoids in the juice and peel of niihime fruit was determined by HPLC and their distribution was examined in comparison with seven other species of sour citrus fruits. Niihime fruit was found to contain a comparatively high quantity of bioactive flavonoids of the flavanone glycosides with rutinose sugar chain such as eriocitrin and hesperidin as well as the polymethoxyflavones such as nobiletin and tangeretin. The peel extract of niihime fruit exhibited comparatively high antioxidative activity among sour citrus fruits using the DPPH radical scavenging assay. Furthermore, the flavonoids eluted from niihime fruit by over time in hot and cold solutions of water, /ῌ ethanol, and ,/ῌ ethanol, which are commonly used in the field of food processing and cooking, were examined. The flavonoids eluted from niihime fruit in hot ,/ῌ ethanol solution was highest content in solutions, and the content of flavonoids eluted in / min was an approximate half of content eluted in 0* min. The flavanone glycosides, eriocitrin and hesperidin, were eluted in higher contents in hot solutions than in cold solutions.

It is indicated to have low bioavailability compared with lemon flavonoid aglycone (LFA), which predomi- nantly contains eriodictyol. This study attempted to prepare LFA which has high bioavailability, using enzymes that are commonly used in the citrus industry, such as cellulase, naringinase, hesperidinase, and pectinase. LFA containing the highest amount of eriodictyol (19.4%) was prepared with naringinase, a debittering enzyme for citrus juice. Ten male normolipidemic subjects ingested LFA (3.7 g) after an over- night fast, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) was prepared from 0-4 h plasma after intake of LFA. The LDL oxidizability was measured with lag time of the conjugated diene formation induced by an oxidative inducer. LDL in 0.5 h plasma after ingestion of LFA was shown to have a significantly longer lag time for oxidation than that before ingestion (P<0.05). LFA was suggested to have the resistance effect of LDL to oxidation ex vivo. Eriodictyol, homoeriodictyol, and hesperetin were not detected in plasma by HPLC analysis, but they were detected in plasma treated with β-glucuronidase and sulfatase.

It occurs mainly as glycosides, but other derivatives of quercetin have been identified as well. Attached substituents change the biochemical activity and bioavailability of molecules when compared to the aglycone. This paper reviews some of recent advances in quercetin derivatives according to physical, chemical and biological properties as well as their content in some plant derived food.
