The thermal and enzymatic taxifolin-alphitonin rearrangement
J Nat Prod 2011 Oct 28;74(10):2243-9.PMID:21992235DOI:10.1021/np200639s.
This report describes a detailed investigation of the thermal and enzymatic conversion of taxifolin to Alphitonin. Chromatographic separation of the four dihydroquercetin stereoisomers 1-4 in combination with circular dichroism spectroscopy permitted elucidation of the kinetics of this rearrangement and characterization of the different reaction pathways involved. Our findings are corroborated by quantum chemistry calculations that reveal a unique cascade of tautomerization processes leading from taxifolin to Alphitonin and also explain the racemization of Alphitonin at room temperature. Furthermore, the substrate specificity toward (+)-taxifolin of an enzyme from Eubacterium ramulus catalyzing this intriguing rearrangement is demonstrated.
Transformation of flavonoids by intestinal microorganisms
Int J Vitam Nutr Res 2003 Mar;73(2):79-87.PMID:12747214DOI:10.1024/0300-9831.73.2.79.
Fruit, vegetables and cereals contain a wealth of secondary plan metabolites which have been implicated in the promotion of health. To understand the mechanism of their action it is necessary to gain more information on their fate in the body following ingestion. A certain proportion of ingested secondary plant constituents may escape absorption in the small intestine and therefore undergo transformation by intestinal microorganisms or enterohepatic circulation. To study the transformation of secondary plant metabolites by bacteria, Eubacterium ramulus was isolated from human feces and incubated with selected flavonoids. E. ramulus is a strictly anaerobic bacterium which was found to be present in the gastrointestinal tract of most individuals investigated. E. ramulus cleaves the ring system of several flavonols and flavones giving rise to the corresponding hydroxyphenylacetic and hydroxyphenylpropionic acids, respectively, as well as acetate and butyrate. Degradation pathways were proposed based on the intermediates detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and HPLC coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and the detection of enzymes that catalyze reactions such as taxifolin isomerization, phloretin hydrolysis and phloroglucinol reduction. The dearomatizing phloroglucinol reductase, presumably part of all flavonoid degradation pathways, was purified and characterized. The gene encoding phloretin hydrolase was cloned from a E. ramulus gene library taking advantage of a newly developed fluorescence test for activity screening. Moreover, a new intermediate was discovered and identified by MS and 1H and 13C NMR analysis as Alphitonin. To investigate the degradational potential of E. ramulus under in vivo conditions, germfree rats were associated with E. ramulus. Following the intragastric application of quercetin-3-glucoside, urine and feces of gnotobiotic rats were analyzed for degradational products originating from quercetin-3-glucoside. In feces of rats monoassociated with E. ramulus, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid was found, indicating that this organism is able to cleave quercetin under in vivo conditions. To investigate in which way the dietary flavonoid content affects the cell counts of E. ramulus in the human intestinal tract, twelve human subjects consumed a flavonoid-free diet for one week and at one point during this period a large dose of flavonoids. Fecal samples from both phases of the study were analyzed by in-situ hybridization for total bacterial counts and counts of E. ramulus. Total cell counts and the cell counts of E. ramulus decreased significantly during the flavonoid-free period, while there was an increase in the E. ramulus counts of up to 10-fold during the flavonoid-rich period indicating that dietary secondary plant metabolites may have an influence on the intestinal microflora. E. ramulus is also capable of converting the isoflavonoids genistein and daidzein to the products 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-propionic acid and O-desmethylangolensin, respectively.
Structural Basis for (2 R,3 R)-Taxifolin Binding and Reaction Products to the Bacterial Chalcone Isomerase of Eubacterium ramulus
Molecules 2022 Nov 16;27(22):7909.PMID:36432010DOI:10.3390/molecules27227909.
The bacterial chalcone isomerase (CHI) from Eubacterium ramulus catalyses the first step in a flavanone-degradation pathway by a reverse Michael addition. The overall fold and the constitution of the active site of the enzyme completely differ from the well-characterised chalcone isomerase of plants. For (+)-taxifolin, CHI catalyses the intramolecular ring contraction to Alphitonin. In this study, Fwe perform crystal structure analyses of CHI and its active site mutant His33Ala in the presence of the substrate taxifolin at 2.15 and 2.8 Å resolution, respectively. The inactive enzyme binds the substrate (+)-taxifolin as well defined, whereas the electron density maps of the native CHI show a superposition of substrate, product Alphitonin, and most probably also the reaction intermediate taxifolin chalcone. Evidently, His33 mediates the stereospecific acid-base reaction by abstracting a proton from the flavonoid scaffold. The stereospecificity of the product is discussed.
Synthesis of auronol derivatives and their immunostimulating activity
Nat Prod Commun 2015 Apr;10(4):591-4.PMID:25973484doi
The first synthesis of alphitonin-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1) was described. Since, the nitrile group, a strong hydrogen bond acceptor with a significant solvation shell, is considered to have capacity comparable to sugar for facilitating the cell membrane permeation of the molecules, several alphitonin-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside and maesopsin-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside analogues were prepared by replacing glucopyranose moieties with acetonitrile groups. Immunostimulating activity evaluation on lymphocyte proliferation indicated that the compound 7 with an acetonitrile group at OH-4 of Alphitonin had a strong stimulation effect on lymphocyte proliferation. Interestingly, when tested against the normal cell NIH/3T3, 7 had no inhibition even at the concentration of 100 µg/mL.
Degradation of quercetin and luteolin by Eubacterium ramulus
Appl Environ Microbiol 2001 Dec;67(12):5558-67.PMID:11722907DOI:10.1128/AEM.67.12.5558-5567.2001.
The degradation of the flavonol quercetin and the flavone luteolin by Eubacterium ramulus, a strict anaerobe of the human intestinal tract, was studied. Resting cells converted these flavonoids to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)propionic acid, respectively. The conversion of quercetin was accompanied by the transient formation of two intermediates, one of which was identified as taxifolin based on its specific retention time and UV and mass spectra. The structure of the second intermediate, Alphitonin, was additionally elucidated by (1)H and (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. In resting-cell experiments, taxifolin in turn was converted via Alphitonin to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid. Alphitonin, which was prepared by enzymatic conversion of taxifolin and subsequent purification, was also transformed to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid. The coenzyme-independent isomerization of taxifolin to Alphitonin was catalyzed by cell extract or a partially purified enzyme preparation of E. ramulus. The degradation of luteolin by resting cells of E. ramulus resulted in the formation of the intermediate eriodictyol, which was identified by high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis. The observed intermediates of quercetin and luteolin conversion suggest that the degradation pathways in E. ramulus start with an analogous reduction step followed by different enzymatic reactions depending on the additional 3-hydroxyl group present in the flavonol structure.
