A selective and mild glycosylation method of natural phenolic alcohols

Several bioactive natural p-hydroxyphenylalkyl β-D-glucopyranosides, such as vanillyl β-D-glucopyranoside, salidroside and isoconiferin, and their glycosyl analogues were prepared by a simple reaction sequence. The highly efficient synthetic approach was achieved by utilizing acetylated glycosyl bromides as well as aromatic moieties and mild glycosylation promoters. The aglycones, p-O-acetylated arylalkyl alcohols, were prepared by the reduction of the corresponding acetylated aldehydes or acids. Various stereoselective 1,2-trans-O-glycosylation methods were studied, including the DDQ-iodine or ZnO-ZnCl2 catalyst combination. Among them, ZnO-iodine has been identified as a new glycosylation promoter and successfully applied to the stereoselective glycoside synthesis. The final products were obtained by conventional Zemplén deacetylation.

Using ionic liquid cosolvents to improve enzymatic synthesis of arylalkyl β-d-glucopyranosides

Enzymatic synthesis of various arylalkyl β-d-glucopyranosides catalyzed by prune (Prunus domestica) seed meal via reverse hydrolysis in the mixture of organic solvent, ionic liquid (IL) and phosphate buffer was described. Among four hydrophilic organic solvents tested, ethylene glycol diacetate (EGDA) was found to be the most suitable for enzymatic synthesis of salidroside, a bioactive compound of commercial interest, from d-glucose and tyrosol. The effects of the nature of ionic liquids and their contents on the enzymatic glucosylation were studied. The addition of a suitable amount of ILs including denaturing ones was favorable to shift the reaction equilibrium toward the synthesis, thus improving the yields. Among the examined ILs, the novel IL [BMIm]I proved to be the best. And this IL was applied as the solvent in biocatalysis for the first time. The yields were found to be enhanced between 0.2-fold and 0.5-fold after the addition of 10% (v/v) [BMIm]I. In 10% (v/v) [BMIm]I-containing system, the desired arylalkyl β-d-glucopyranosides were synthesized with 15-28% yields, among which salidroside was obtained with a yield of 22%. .

Synthesis, biological activity of salidroside and its analogues

Salidroside is a phenylpropanoid glycoside isolated from Rhodiola rosea L., a traditional Chinese medicinal plant, and has displayed a broad spectrum of pharmacological properties. In this paper, about 18 novel salidroside analogues were prepared through Koenigs-Knorr method, the effects of these compounds over PC12 was assessed with the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. The novel compounds differ in the substituents attached to the benzene ring or in the glycosyl donor. According to the data, compounds (3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)methyl β-D-glucopyranoside and (3,5-dimethoxyphenyl) methyl β-D-galactopyranoside with methoxy group at 3 and 5-positions of the benzene ring were the most viability at concentration of 300 μmol/l and 60 μmol/l, respectively.

Enzymatic resolution of (RS)-1-phenylalkyl β-D-glucosides to (R)-1-phenylalkyl β-primeverosides and (S)-1-phenylalkyl β-D-glucosides via plant xylosyltransferase

The stereoselective xylosylation of (RS)-1-phenylalkyl β-D-glucosides was investigated using plant xylosyltransferase isolated from cultured Catharanthus roseus cells. Enzymatic xylosylation of (RS)-1-phenylethyl β-D-glucoside afforded (R)-1-phenylethyl β

Enzyme-catalysed synthesis of alkyl β-D-Glucosides in organic media

The synthetic potential of Almond β-D-Glucosidase for the synthesis of alkyl glucosides was studied. The regio and stereoselectivity of the synthesis were analysed for the reverse hydrolysis and the transglucosylation methods in tert-butanol and acetonitrile media.
