, p. 1298 - 1307 (2016)
Extracts from the leaves of the Bangladeshi medicinal plant Terminalia citrina were prepared, and 13 new furofuran lignan glucosides, terminalosides A-K (1-4, 6-12), 2-epiterminaloside D (5), and 6-epiterminaloside K (13), were characterized using various spectroscopic techniques. Twelve of the isolates were found to contain rare tetraoxygenated aryl groups in their structures. Analysis of the NMR chemical shifts for the oxymethine signals in the furofuran ring suggested a pragmatic approach to determining the relative configuration of these compounds. The ECD and NOESY spectroscopic data obtained allowed for the deduction of the absolute configurations and conformations of the compounds. The isolates were tested for their estrogenic/antiestrogenic activity using the MCF-7 and T47D estrogen-responsive human breast cancer cell lines. Terminalosides B (2) and G (8) exhibited inhibitory effects for both cell lines, and estradiol-enhanced cell proliferation was suppressed by 90% at concentrations lower than 10 M. Terminaloside E (6) showed inhibitory activity against the T47D cell line, whereas terminalosides C (3), F (7), and I (10) and 6-epiterminaloside K (13) displayed antiestrogenic activity against MCF-7 cells.

Gutierrez, Rosa Martha Perez
, p. 1846 - 1855 (2013)
Satureja macrostema (SM) is used with culinary and medicinal purposes. Methanol extract from SM was investigated for its phenolic content, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, and kidney protective activities. Liver and kidney damage were induced in rats with CCl4. Hepatoprotective efficacy was measured by the activity of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, cholesterol, high density lipoprotein and total protein, and lipid peroxidation. Kidney function was evaluated by measuring plasma urea and creatinine. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by measuring blood glutathione content, superoxide dismutase and catalase activities, and malondialdehyde equivalent; their activity was comparable to that of silymarin, a well-known hepatoprotective agent. Methanol extracts of S. macrostema showed potent antioxidant, kidney protective, and hepatoprotective activities; in-depth chromatographic investigation resulted in the identification of six new flavonoid glycosides: 5-hydroxy-3,6,4′- trimethoxyflavonol-7-C-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 3)-β-d- glucopyranoside (2), 4′-methoxy-5,7,3′,5′-tetra- hydroxyflavanone-3-O-β-d-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-d- rhamnopyranoside (3), 5,4′-dimethoxy-7,3′,5′- trihydroxyflavanone-3-O-β-d-rhamnopyranoside (4), 5,3′,4′, 5′-tetrahydroxyflavanone-7-O-β-d-rhamnopyranoside (5), 5,3′,4′,5′-tetramethoxyflavanone-7-O-β-d- rhamnopyranoside (6), and 5,4′-dimethoxy-3′-hydroxyflavone-7-β- d-rhamnopyranoside (8) along with three known compounds: 5-hydroxy-7,4′- dimethoxyflavone (1), prunin (7), and diosmin (9) that were isolated. Structural elucidation of the new compounds was established based on the spectral data. The present study revealed that S. macrostema leaves have a significant radical scavenging and hepatoprotective activity.

Yuan, Yuguo,Wang, Jingyun,Fu, Nihong,Zang, Shuliang
, p. 46 - 49 (2016)
Methyltrioxorhenium (MTO) has been applied as catalyst to promote cellulose hydrolysis by using the ionic liquid 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Amim]Cl) as solvent. When using 7 mol% of MTO, 70 μL of water, ca. 0.6 mmol of microcrystalline cellulose and 2.0 g of [Amim]Cl under microwave irradiation for 30 min at 150 °C, 51.2% of total reducing sugar (TRS) and 24.7% of glucose yield can be obtained. The nucleophilic attack of electron-rich O atom of β-1,4-glycosidic bond to electron-poor Re atom of MTO, leading to the broken of β-1,4-glycosidic bond, is assumed to be crucial for cellulose degradation.

Regeneration of cello-oligomers via selective depolymerization of cellulose fibers derived from printed paper wastes
Voon, Lee Ken,Pang, Suh Cem,Chin, Suk Fun
, p. 31 - 37 (2016)
Cellulose extracted from printed paper wastes were selectively depolymerized under controlled conditions into cello-oligomers of controllable chain lengths via dissolution in an ionic liquid, 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (AMIMCl), and in the presence of an acid catalyst, Amberlyst 15DRY. The depolymerization process was optimized against reaction temperature, concentration of acid catalyst, and reaction time. Despite rapid initial depolymerization process, the rate of cellulose depolymerization slowed down gradually upon prolonged reaction time, with 75.0 wt% yield of regenerated cello-oligomers (mean Viscosimetric Degree of Polymerization value of 81) obtained after 40 min. The depolymerization of cellulose fibers at 80 °C appeared to proceed via a second-order kinetic reaction with respect to the catalyst concentration of 0.23 mmol H3O+. As such, the cellulose depolymerization process could afford some degree of control on the degree of polymerization or chain lengths of cello-oligomers formed.

Palmatosides A (1) and B (2) each possessed an unusual sugar moiety containing a 4,4-dimethyl-3-oxo-butoxy substituent group. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their cancer chemopreventive potential based on their ability to inhibit tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)-induced NF-κB activity, nitric oxide (NO) production, aromatase, quinone reductase 2 (QR2) and COX-1/-2 activities. Palmatosides B (2) and C (3) inhibited TNF-α-induced NF-κB activity with IC50 values of 15.7 and 24.1 μM, respectively; multiflorin A (4) inhibited aromatase enzyme with an IC50 value of 15.5 μM; afzelin (6) showed 68.3% inhibition against QR2 at a concentration of 11.5 μg/ml; palmatoside A (1) showed 52% inhibition against COX-1 enzyme at a concentration of 10 μg/ml; and multiflorin B (5) showed 52% inhibition against nitric oxide production at a concentration of 20 μg/ml. In addition, compounds 3-6 were shown to bind QR2 enzyme using LC-MS ultrafiltration binding assay.
Platinum-Catalyzed aqueous-Phase hydrogenation of d?Glucose to d?Sorbitol
Zhang, Xingguang,Durndell, Lee J.,Isaacs, Mark A.,Parlett, Christopher M.A.,Lee, Adam F.,Wilson, Karen
, p. 7409 - 7417 (2016)
Aqueous-phase hydrogenation of D-glucose to D-sorbitol was systematically investigated over silica-supported Pt nanoparticles to elucidate structure?reactivity relations and mechanistic insight. D-Glucose hydrogenation over large Pt particles competes with its isomerization to D-fructose over low-coordination (electron-deficient) Pt sites; D-sorbitol production by the former process was structure insensitive for nanoparticles spanning 3?17 nm, whereas isomerization was favored by smaller particles, with both pathways independent of the choice of fumed silica or mesoporous SBA-15 support. While D-fructose was readily hydrogenated to D-mannitol under the same reaction conditions, the latter underwent minimal isomerization to D-sorbitol, which is, therefore, a direct product of D-glucose ring opening and subsequent hydrogenation of the aldose conformer. D-Sorbitol production was favored by low D-glucose concentrations (<10 wt %), high H2 pressures (>40 bar), and low reaction temperatures (<140 °C), which suppressed undesired polymerization side reactions.
Microchip Device for Performing Enzyme Assays
Hadd, Andrew G.,Raymond, Daniel E.,Halliwell, John W.,Jacobson, Stephen C.,Ramsey, J. Michael
, p. 3407 - 3412 (1997)
An automated enzyme assay was performed within a microfabricated channel network. Precise concentrations of substrate, enzyme, and inhibitor were mixed in nanoliter volumes using electrokinetic flow. Reagent dilution and mixing were controlled by regulating the applied potential at me terminus of each channel, using voltages derived from an equivalent circuit model of the microchip. The enzyme β-galactosidase (β-Gal) was assayed using resorufin β-D-galactopyranoside (RBG), a substrate that is hydrolyzed to resorufin, a fluorescent product Reaction kinetics were obtained by varying the concentration of substrate on-chip and monitoring the production of resorufin using laser-induced fluorescence. Derived Michaelis-Menten constants compared well between an on-chip and a conventional enzyme assay. Bias in the derived Km and kcat was primarily due to the limited solubility of RBG and the associated lack of measurements at substrate concentrations exceeding the Km. A Ki of 8 μM for the inhibitor phenylethyl β-D-thiogalactoside (PETG) was determined from plots of initial rate versus substrate concentration obtained at three concentrations of PETG. The relative inhibition of β-Gal by lactose, p-hydroxymercuribenzoic acid, and PETG was determined by varying the inhibitor concentration with constant enzyme and substrate concentration. An enzyme assay performed on the microchip within a 20-min period required only 120 pg of enzyme and 7.5 ng of substrate, reducing the amount of reagent consumed by 4 orders of magnitude over a conventional assay.

One-pot conversion of mechanically activated cellulose to sorbitol was investigated over bifunctional catalysts based on Ru (0.6, 1 and 3 wt.%) and cesium salts of heteropoly acids (HPA) Cs2.1H0.9PW12O40 and Cs3HSiW12O40 (Cs-PW and Cs-SiW, respectively). The maximal yield of sorbitol equal to 59 % and selectivity 94 % were achieved over the 1%Ru/Cs3HSiW12O40 catalyst. Physicochemical and catalytic data showed that the rate-determining step, i.e. the hydrolysis of cellulose, depended on the surface acidity of catalysts, whereas Ru content in catalyst affected both the hydrolysis and the hydrogenation steps. The kinetic parameters for one-pot conversion of cellulose were determined by mathematical modeling approach and were successfully used for the prediction of the yields of sorbitol and mannitol.

Effective conversion of cellobiose and glucose to sorbitol using non-noble bimetallic NiCo/HZSM-5 catalyst
Zada, Bakht,Yan, Long,Fu, Yao
, p. 1167 - 1174 (2018)
The tandem hydrolysis and hydrogenation of saccharides into sorbitol is an especially attractive reaction in the conversion of biomass. Here, an economical and efficient bimetallic catalyst for the transformation of glucose and cellobiose into sorbitol is reported. Non-precious metal based catalysts such as NiCo, Ni, and Co, were prepared via modified impregnation method, and NiCo/HZSM-5 showed superior performance for the synthesis of sorbitol (86.9% from cellobiose, 98.6% from D-glucose). Various characterizations, such as Brunner-Emmet-Teler (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), confirmed that NiCo alloy formed and highly dispersed in NiCo/HZSM-5 catalyst. The high performance of fabricated catalyst would be attributed to the formation of nickel-cobalt alloy over HZSM-5 zeolite surface. High temperature and H2 pressure were favorable for the tandem hydrolysis and hydrogenation reaction. Besides, the reaction pathway was also proposed based on the kinetics study. Cellobitol was detected as the intermediate in the reaction mixture. Furthermore, in the catalytic stability study, it was found that active metal species of NiCo/HZSM-5 were stable. The deactivation of catalyst would be due to the covering of acidic sites over NiCo/HZSM-5.

Steric course of the hydrolysis of alpha,alpha-trehalose and alpha-D-glucosyl fluoride catalyzed by pig kidney trehalase.
Nakano,Brewer,Kasumi,Hehre
, p. 139 - 144 (1989)
We are unable to confirm the report of Labat et al.3 that pig kidney trehalase hydrolyzes alpha,alpha-trehalose to form solely alpha-D-glucose. Highly purified trehalase from pig renal cortex was found, in reactions monitored by 1H-n.m.r. spectra, to hydrolyze alpha,alpha-trehalose with the formation of both alpha- and beta-D-glucose. That the beta anomer constitutes the enzymically mobilized glucosyl residue is indicated by the further finding that beta-D-glucose is the product formed on hydrolysis of alpha-D-glucosyl fluoride by the enzyme. Present results show the stereochemical behavior of pig kidney trehalase in hydrolyzing alpha,alpha-trehalose to be indistinguishable from that reported by ourselves and others for trehalase preparations from a range of biological sources including rabbit renal cortex.

Stults,Wade,Crouch
, p. 2245 - 2247 (1987)
A novel analytical application of immobilized enzymes is presented in which the mutarotation kinetics of D-glucose are studied. A glucose oxidase single bead string reactor is combined with the Trinder reaction in a flow injection system. The apparatus is used to monitor the mutarotation of D-glucose in a batch reactor. The mutarotation coefficients obtained are in good agreement with the literature values. Phosphate ion is shown to catalyze the reaction and the mutarotation coefficient is directly proportional to its concentration. The selectivity of the enzyme reactor is also demonstrated.

An exopolysaccharide (EPS) was purified from the probiotic bacterium Bacillus albus DM-15, isolated from the Indian Ayurvedic traditional medicine Dasamoolarishta. Gas chromatography-mass spectrophotometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyses revealed the heteropolymeric nature of the purified EPS with monosaccharide units of glucose, galactose, xylose, and rhamnose. Size-exclusion chromatography had shown the molecular weight of the purified EPS as around 240 kDa. X-ray powder diffraction analysis confirmed the non-crystalline amorphous nature of the EPS. Furthermore, the purified EPS showed the maximum flocculation activity (72.80%) with kaolin clay and emulsification activity (67.04%) with xylene. In addition, the EPS exhibits significant antioxidant activities on DPPH (58.17 ± 0.054%), ABTS (70.47 ± 0.854%) and nitric oxide (58.92 ± 0.744%) radicals in a concentration-dependent way. Moreover, the EPS showed promising cytotoxic activity (20 ± 0.97 μg mL–1) against the lung carcinoma cells (A549), and subsequent cellular staining revealed apoptotic necrotic characters in damaged A549 cells. The EPS purified from the probiotic strain B. albus DM-15 can be further studied and exploited as a potential carbohydrate polymer in food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and biomedical applications.

The investigation of Morinda officinalis led to the isolation of twelve compounds (1—12), including three new iridoid glycosides morindalins A—C (1—3) and nine known compounds (4—12). Their structural identifications were conducted using HRMS, 1D and 2D NMR, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra as well as quantum chemical computations. Compound 6 displayed the most significantly agonistic activity against farnesoid X receptor (FXR) with an EC50 value of 7.18 μM, and its agonistic effect was verified through the investigation of FXR downstream target genes including small heterodimer partner 1 (SHP1), bile salt export pump (BSEP), and organic solute transporter subunit alpha and beta (OSTα and OSTβ). The potential interaction of compound 6 with FXR was analyzed by molecular docking and molecular dynamics stimulation, revealing that amino acid residues Leu287, Thr288, and Ser332 played a crucial role in the activation of compound 6 towards FXR. These findings suggested that compound 6 could be regarded as a potential candidate for the development of FXR agonists.
