Biosynthesis of anthraquinone derivatives in a Sesamum indicum hairy root culture

In order to investigate the intermediacy of 2-(4-methylpent-3-en-1-yl)anthraquinone (MPAQ), a possible intermediate for the biosynthesis of anthraquinone derivatives in sesame (Sesamum indicum), 2H-labeled MPAQ was administered to a hairy root culture of S. indicum. Efficient conversion of fed MPAQ to 2-[(Z)-4-methylpenta-1,3-dien-1-yl]an-thraquinone ((Z)-MPDEAQ) was observed. Furthermore, administration experiment with 2H-labeled 2-geranyl-1,4-naphthohydroquinone, another possible intermediate, showed that it was converted to MPAQ and (Z)-MPDEAQ. The results clearly demonstrated that these substrates are the actual precursors for the production of (Z)-MPDEAQ. In contrast, neither MPAQ nor 2-geranyl-1,4-naphtho-hydroquinone was converted to anthrasesamone B and 2,3-epoxyanthrasesamone B, other anthraquinone derivatives in the hairy roots, suggesting that these substrates may not be the common precursors in the biosynthesis of anthraquinone derivatives.

Naphthalene oxidation by peracetic acid catalysed by Mn3+ porphinoid complexes

A comparison of the oxidation of naphthalene and its d8-derivative by peracetic acid catalysed by Mn3+ tetranitrotetra-tert-butyltetraazaporphine allowed us to refine both the mechanisms of 1,4-naphthoquinone and 1-naphthol formation and the structures of the final products of 1-naphthol oxidation.
