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.

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.

Total synthesis was accomplished through modified Ullmann diaryl ether formation as a key step. Coupling reactions of 4'-halogenoflavones and 3'-hydroxy-5,7,4'-trimethoxyflavone were explored in diverse reaction conditions. The reaction of 4'-fluoro-5,7-dimethoxyflavone (2c) and 3'-hydroxy-5,7,4'-trimethoxyflavone (2d) in N,N-dimethylacetamide gave the coupled compound 3 in 58% yield. Synthetic ochnaflavone strongly inhibited PGE2 production (IC50 = 1.08 µM) from LPS-activated RAW 264.7 cells, which was due to reduced expression of COX-2. On the contrary, the inhibition mechanism of wogonin was somewhat different from that of ochnaflavone although wogonin, a natural occurring anti-inflammatory flavonoid, showed strong inhibitory activity of PGE2 production (IC50 = 0.52 µM), and seems to be COX-2 enzyme inhibition. Our concise total synthesis of ochnaflavone enable us to provide sufficient quantities of material for advanced biological studies as well as to efficiently prepare derivatives for structure-activity relationship study.

    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.

Structurally, absence of a double bond in chromanone between C-2 and C-3 shows a minor diference from chromone but exhibits signifcant variations in biological activities. In the present review, various studies published on synthesis, pharmacological evaluation on chroman- 4-one analogues are addressed to signify the importance of chromanone as a versatile scafold exhibiting a wide range of pharmacological activities. But, due to poor yield in the case of chemical synthesis and expensive isolation procedure from natural compounds, more studies are required to provide the most efective and cost-efective methods to synthesize novel chromanone analogs to give leads to chemistry community.

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.

The regulation of flavonoid biosynthesis was examined by analyzing the metabolites produced in the cultured cells fed (2RS)-naringenin. The amount of sophoraflavanone G in cells fed 0.1 or 0.3 mM (2RS)-naringenin was two-fold that in control cells, although the conversion ratio was only 5 to 10% of the administered (2S)-naringenin. On the other hand, (2R)-naringenin, which does not occur naturally, was efficiently converted into its 4Ј,7-di-O-b-D-glucoside. (2S)-Naringenin prenylation activity was higher at the logarithmic growth stage. The cells fed (2RS)-naringenin at a lower concentration (below 0.1 mM), accumulated sophoraflavanone G as the main prenylated flavanone.
  • In Chemistry, Glycosides Are Certain Molecules in Which a Sugar Part Is

    In Chemistry, Glycosides Are Certain Molecules in Which a Sugar Part Is

    GLYCOSIDES Glycosides may be defined as the organic compounds from plants or animal sources, which on enzymatic or acid hydrolysis give one or more sugar moieties along with non- sugar moiety. Glycosides play numerous important roles in living organisms. Many plants store important chemicals in the form of inactive glycosides; if these chemicals are needed, the glycosides are brought in contact with water and an enzyme, and the sugar part is broken off, making the chemical available for use. Many such plant glycosides are used as medications. In animals (including humans), poisons are often bound to sugar molecules in order to remove them from the body. Formally, a glycoside is any molecule in which a sugar group is bonded through its carbon atom to another group via an O-glycosidic bond or an S-glycosidic bond; glycosides involving the latter are also called thioglycosides. The sugar group is then known as the glycone and the non-sugar group as the aglycone or genin part of the glycoside. The glycone can consist of a single sugar group (monosaccharide) or several sugar groups (oligosaccharide). Classification Classification based on linkages Based on the linkage of sugar moiety to aglycone part 1.
