The branched tetrasaccharide, O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-O- [β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→3)]-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4) -D-galactose (lycotetraose) is a key constituent of many biologically interesting natural products. Described herein is a convenient enzymatic preparation of lycotetraose from the readily available Solanum glycoalkaloid α-tomatine. The preparation makes use of the recombinant endo-glycosidase, tomatinase, from the plant pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici.

Concise large-scale synthesis of tomatidine, a potent antibiotic natural product

Tomatidine has recently generated a lot of interest amongst the pharmacology, medicine, and biology fields of study, especially for its newfound activity as an antibiotic agent capable of targeting multiple strains of bacteria. In the light of its low natural abundance and high cost, an efficient and scalable multi-gram synthesis of tomatidine has been developed. This synthesis uses a Suzuki–Miyaura-type coupling reaction as a key step to graft an enantiopure F-ring side chain to the steroidal scaffold of the natural product, which was accessible from low-cost and commercially available diosgenin. A Lewis acid-mediated spiroketal opening followed by an azide substitution and reduction sequence is employed to generate the spiroaminoketal motif of the natural product. Overall, this synthesis produced 5.2 g in a single pass in 15 total steps and 15.2% yield using a methodology that is atom economical, scalable, and requires no flash chromatography purifications.

Paragraph 0041-0043, (2019/01/05)
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a production method of tomatidine which can be used as a health food product or a medicament by converting tomatine which is one kind of gluco alkaloids included in a tomato plant body into tomatidine which has no toxicity and for which a prevention effect of age-related muscle atrophy can be expected. SOLUTION: The invention is configured so that, a leaf, a stem, a lateral bud, a petal, an immature fruit, and a root are cut, or are pulverized after drying, then water is added to the pulverized object per weight, the amount of the water being 3-15 times of the pulverized object, then an acid solution is added for adjusting pH of the mixture of the pulverized object and water to 2-5, then, the mixture is agitated and mixed for 30-120 minutes under temperature of room temperature to 80°C, for extracting tomatine including dehydro tomatine of glycosylated alkaloid, then an alkali solution is added to the extract then the mixture of the alkali solution and the extract is adjusted so that pH becomes 8 or higher and less than 10 in room temperature for deposition of tomatine, then after collecting deposited tomatine, then the deposited tomatine is dissolved in an acid solution of 0.5-2N, then the mixture of the acid solution and the deposited tomatine is heated for 1-4 hours at 60°C-80°C for converting the tomatine into tomatidine, then using the alkali solution again for adjusting the pH of the mixture to become 8 or more and less than 10 for deposition of the tomatidine, then the deposited tomatidine is collected, then the deposited tomatidine is dissolved in an ethanol solution whose density is 70% or more for deposition of mixed impurities for removing the impurities, then the ethanol is evaporated.
