Synthesis and characterization of novel flavonoid derivatives via sequential phosphorylation of quercetin

Flavonoids are naturally-occurring polyphenolics that have been implicated in a wide range of biological activities. The major obstacles to flavonoid applications are the poor solubility in common solvents. Phosphorylation of flavonoids yields a new class of flavonoid derivatives which are very soluble in aqueous solutions and hence have the potential to be used in biological studies. We hereby report the sequential phosphorylation of Quercetin leading to the synthesis of Quercetin pentaphosphate (QPP), Apigenin triphosphate (ATRP), 5,4′-Quercetin Diphosphate (5,4′-QDP) and 4′-Quercetin monophosphate (4′-QP) with solubility of 848?mg/mL, 367?mg/mL, 315?μg/mL and 106?μg/mL respectively. The synthesis of 4′-QP, 5,4′-QDP, QPP and ATRP was successful with 85%, 60.5%, 56% and 99% yield respectively. These compounds have been characterized using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 31P NMR.

METHOD OF BIOTRANSFORMATION OF BENZOPYRONE COMPOUNDS INTO THE CORRESPONDING PHOSPHATE-CONJUGATED DERIVATIVES

The present invention is related to a biotransformation process, effected by means of an isolated polypeptide possessing benzopyrone phosphate synthetase activity, and also a microorganism comprising a nucleic acid sequence that encodes the polypeptide, for the preparation of phosphate-conjugated derivatives of benzopyrone compounds. The hydrophilic property of the benzopyrone compounds is enhanced after catalyzed by the benzopyrone phosphate synthetase of the present invention.
