Antimutagenic and antioxidant properties of phenolic fractions from Andean purple corn (Zea mays L.).

The antimutagenic and antioxidant properties of various phenolic fractions obtained from Andean purple corn were examined by the Ames test and the DPPH antiradical assay. An anthocyanin-rich water fraction (WF) and an ethyl acetate fraction (EAF) showed a dose-dependent antimutagenic behavior against the food mutagen Trp-P-1 with IC50 values of 321.7 +/- 21.36 and 95.2 +/- 10.95 microg of chlorogenic acid equiv/plate, respectively, indicating that EAF was a more potent antimutagen. The antioxidant activities for WF and EAF were 1.019 +/- 0.05 and 0.838 +/- 0.11 microg of Trolox equiv/mug of phenolics, respectively. Further fractionation of WF and EAF revealed an ethyl acetate subfraction, EA-IV, with high antimutagen potency that contained a quercetin derivative. The mechanism of antimutagenic action of the WF is predominantly a blocking effect on the S-9 Mix activation system of the mutagen, whereas for the EAF, it is a dual mechanism involving blocking of the S-9 Mix and a scavenging action on Trp-P-1 electrophiles.

Extraction, detection, and quantification of flavano-ellagitannins and ethylvescalagin in a Bordeaux red wine aged in oak barrels.

An extraction procedure and an analytical method have been developed to detect and quantify for the first time a series of ellagitannin derivatives formed in wine during aging in oak barrels. The method involves a preliminary purification step on XAD7 HP resin followed by a second purification step on TSK 40 HW gel. The resulting extract is analyzed for compound identification and quantitative determination by high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry in single ion recording mode. Reference compounds, which are accessible through hemisynthesis from the oak C-glycosidic ellagitannin vescalagin, were used to build calibration curves, and chlorogenic acid was selected as an internal standard. This method enabled us to estimate the content of four flavano-ellagitannins and that of another newly identified wine polyphenol, beta-1-O-ethylvescalagin, in a Bordeaux red wine aged for 18 months in oak barrels. All five ellagitannin derivatives are derived from the nucleophilic substitution reaction of vescalagin with the grape flavan-3-ols catechin and epicatechin or ethanol.

Synthesis and structure determination of covalent conjugates formed from the sulfury-roasty-smelling 2-furfurylthiol and di- or trihydroxybenzenes and their identification in coffee brew.

Recent investigations demonstrated that the reaction of odor-active thiols such as 2-furfurylthiol with thermally generated chlorogenic acid degradation products is responsible for the rapid aroma staling of coffee beverages. To get a clear understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying this aroma staling, the existence of putative phenol/thiol conjugates needs to be verified in coffee. The aim of the present study was therefore to synthesize such conjugates for use as reference substances for LC-MS screening of coffee. To achieve this, catechol, 3-methyl-, 4-methyl-, and 4-ethylcatechol, pyrogallol, hydroxyhydroquinone, 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid, and caffeic acid, respectively, were reacted with 2-furfurylthiol in the presence of iron(III) chloride and air oxygen. After purification, the structures of 25 phenol/thiol conjugates were identified by means of LC-MS/MS and 1D/2D NMR experiments. Using these compounds as reference materials, four conjugates, namely, 3-((2-furylmethyl)sulfanyl)catechol, 3-((2-furylmethyl)sulfanyl)-5-ethylcatechol, 4-((2-furylmethyl)sulfanyl)hydroxyhydroquinone, and 3,4-bis((2-furylmethyl)sulfanyl) hydroxyhydroquinone, were identified for the first time in coffee brew by means of HPLC-MS/MS(MRM). These findings clearly demonstrate catechol, 4-ethylcatechol, and hydroxyhydroquinone as the primary thiol trapping agents involved in the aroma staling of coffee beverages.

Alkylperoxyl radical-scavenging activity of various flavonoids and other phenolic compounds: implications for the anti-tumor-promoter effect of vegetables.

We recently reported that alkylperoxyl radical (ROO(*)) enhanced carcinogenesis in rats treated with carcinogen (Sawa et al. Cancer Epidemiol. Biomarkers Prev. 1998, 7, 1007-1012), and the tumor promoting action of ROO(*) could be reduced by addition of hot-water extracts of vegetables (Maeda et al. Jpn. J. Cancer Res. 1992, 83, 923-928). Here we described the ROO(*)-scavenging activity of flavonoids and nonflavonoid phenolics and their role in anti-tumor-promoter effects. A model molecular species, ROO(*), was generated from tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH) and heme iron, and the scavenging of t-BuOO(*) was determined by (a) bioassay based on the bactericidal action of ROO(*), (b) luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence, and (c) electron spin resonance. Of 17 authentic plant phenolics tested, 9 compounds (including rutin, chlorogenic acid, vanillin, vanillic acid, neohesperidin, gallic acid, shikimic acid, rhamnetin, and kaempferol) showed remarkably high ROO(*)-scavenging activity. Some of them were detected and quantified in hot-water extracts of mung bean sprouts, used as the model vegetable, and their contents increased after germination, which paralleled very well to the ROO(*)-scavenging capacity of the vegetable extracts. Thus, a diet rich in these radical scavengers would reduce the cancer-promoting action of ROO(*). Consequently, the carcinogenic potentials of oxygen-related radicals may be suppressed.

Gel permeation chromatography of anthocyanin pigments from Rosé cider and red wine.

Anthocyanin pigments from rosé cider and red wine, which is a sparkling wine made from apples, were separated by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) using a TSK-GEL Toyopearl HW-40 (F) column with a 6:4 mixture of acetone and 8 M urea (pH 2.0) as the eluent. Under this condition, all phenolic compounds containing monomeric anthocyanins (mainly, cyanidin-3-galactoside; Cyn-3-gal), oligomeric and polymeric anthocyanins, chlorogenic acid, catechin, epicatechin, procyanidin B2 (PB2), and procyanidin C1 (PC1) in the apples and rosé cider were found to elute according to molecular weight. Bleaching of the anthocyanin pigments by SO(2) was gradually effective in the fractions separated by GPC according to elution volume. In the case of rosé cider, the levels of Cyn-3-gal decreased markedly during fermentation and then decreased gradually during maturation. We confirmed that anthocyanin polymers are not detectable in apple juice; these polymers are produced during fermentation and maturation as determined by GPC. The polymeric anthocyanins from red wine could be separated by this method, too.

Radical scavenging and catalytic activity of metal-phenolic complexes.

A series of metal-ligand complexes were prepared by the reaction of various metal ions, namely, Cu(II), Mn(II), or Fe(II) with phenolic derivatives of [catechol, chlorogenic acid (CGA), n-propyl gallate (nPG), 3-hydroxy anthranilic acid, resveratrol, and rutin] and characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy. The metal/ligand complexing ratio and complexation constants have been determined. The complexes were probed for their reactivity toward various free radicals (e aq-, CO2*-, and O2*-). Pulse radiolysis studies showed that the one-electron reduction of metal/phenol complexes by CO2*- radicals was metal-centered, and this was confirmed by the formation of an initial adduct with CO2*- radicals. Rate constants for the scavenging of superoxide anions with metal complexes ranged between 10(7)-10(9) dm3 mol(-1) s(-1) and those for the reaction of e aq- with the metal complexes were in the range of (1-5) x 10(9) dm3 mol(-1) s(-1), depending on the pH of the solution. Cyclic and differential pulse voltammetric studies showed that the reduction potential of the complexes are found to range between -0.022 to 0.45 V vs normal hydrogen electrode.

Identification of radical scavenging compounds in Rhaponticum carthamoides by means of LC-DAD-SPE-NMR.

A hyphenated LC-DAD-SPE-NMR setup in combination with on-line radical scavenging detection has been applied for the identification of radical scavenging compounds in extracts of Rhaponticumcarthamoides. After NMR measurements, the pure compounds were infused into a mass spectrometer. The technique enabled selective detection and identification of individual radical scavenging compounds without any prior off-line chromatographic steps. Seven compounds, namely, quercetagetin-7-beta-glucopyranoside (1), quercetagetin-7-(6"-acetyl-beta-glucopyranoside) (3), 6-hydroxykaempferol-7-beta-glucopyranoside (2), 6-methoxykaempferol-3-beta-glucopyranoside (4), 6-hydroxykaempferol-7-(6"-acetyl-beta-glucopyranoside) (5), chlorogenic acid (6), and beta-ecdysone (7), were identified in ethanol or aqueous extracts. Compound 5 is a new natural compound. Its radical scavenging activity was tested against DPPH radical and was found to be weaker than that of the reference antioxidants rosmarinic acid and Trolox.

New lignans from the roots of Valeriana prionophylla with antioxidative and vasorelaxant activities.

Two new 7,9':7',9-diepoxylignan glycosides have been isolated from the roots of Valeriana prionophylla. Their structures have been established on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR experiments as prinsepiol-4-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1) and fraxiresinol-4'-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (2). In addition, 8-hydroxypinoresinol-4'-O-beta-d-glucopyranoside (3), 8-hydroxypinoresinol (4), prinsepiol (5), and chlorogenic acid were isolated. Compounds 1, 3, 4, and 5 were evaluated for their antioxidative properties in Trolox equivalent antioxidant activity (TEAC) and chemiluminescence (CL) assays. The same compounds were tested for their vascular activity in rat aorta rings. The aglycones 4 and 5 displayed powerful antioxidant activity; in addition, aglycone 4 showed a higher vasorelaxant activity than compounds 1, 3, and 5.

The absolute configuration of 1-(3',4'-dihydroxycinnamoyl)cyclopentane-2,3-diol from the amazonian tree Chimarrhis turbinata.

An antioxidant, 1-(3',4'-dihydroxycinnamoyl)cyclopentane-2,3-diol [or (E)-2,3-dihydroxycyclopentyl-3-(3',4'-dihydroxyphenyl)acrylate (1)], and two known trans- and cis-chlorogenic acid methyl esters were isolated from the ethanolic extract of the leaves of Chimarrhis turbinata. The relative configuration of 1 was determined by NMR and by comparison of the circular dichroic spectrum (CD) with those of the enantiomers of synthetic 3',4'-dimethoxycinnamoyl analogues. The absolute configuration of one of the synthetic enantiomers was determined using the CD exciton chirality method. This established the structure of naturally occurring 1 as (E)-2,3-dihydroxycyclopentyl-3-(3',4'-dihydroxyphenyl)acrylate.

NMR metabolomics to revisit the tobacco mosaic virus infection in Nicotiana tabacum leaves.

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) infection of tobacco is a well-known and extensively studied model system for which a number of genes and proteins involved in the systemic acquired resistance (SAR) have been characterized. Little is known about the metabolic changes connected with the infection and SAR. Here we describe the use of NMR spectroscopy in combination with multivariate data analysis to study the metabolic changes. Particularly 2-D NMR methods, such as 2-D J-resolved spectra and their projected spectra, are shown to be powerful tools in the metabolomic studies. The macroscopic view of the metabolomes obtained by NMR spectroscopy of crude extracts enabled the identification of a series of totally different metabolites that seem connected with resistance, such as the clearly increased 5-caffeoylquinic acid, alpha-linolenic acid analogues, and sesqui- and diterpenoids in the infected plant parts.

Nutritional quality of sunflower seed protein fraction extracted with isopropanol.

This study investigated the nutritional effect of sunflower seed protein fraction (SSPF) extracted with isopropanol on growth, plasma and tissue lipid profile, protein content and erythrocyte membrane lipid profile of rats. Dehulled sunflower seeds were extracted with isopropanol at 50 +/- 1 degree C resulting in a protein fraction (71.5%) with low residual chlorogenic acid (0.07%) and fiber (3.3%) contents. Rats fed the sunflower seed protein fraction had a similar body weight gain and food efficiency ratios in comparison to those fed casein. Rats fed SSPF in contrast had a significantly higher growth and food efficiency ratio than the rats fed sunflower meal (SM), extracted with hexane. However, dietary proteins exerted a separate effect on plasma total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, low density lipoprotein to high density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C/HDL-C) ratio and triglyceride content. Sunflower seed protein fraction resulted in a significant decrease in plasma cholesterol (p < 0.05) and LDL-cholesterol (p < 0.02) levels compared to the casein fed rats. Membrane phospholipid profile also showed a marked variation with the type of dietary protein. Rats fed SSPF and SM did not show much variation in plasma lipids, plasma proteins, liver and brain lipids and membrane phospholipid concentrations. Protein content, liver and brain lipid profile of the groups fed SSPF and casein were comparable, suggesting that the nutritional value of SSPF is better than SM and equivalent to that of casein.

Effects of long-term open-field ozone exposure on leaf phenolics of European silver birch (Betula pendula Roth).

The response of phenolic compounds as a result of long-term low open-field ozone exposure was studied in ozone-sensitive and ozone-tolerant clones of European silver birch (Betula pendula Roth). The saplings were exposed to 1.5-1.6 times the ambient (elevated) ozone and ambient air (as control) over three growing seasons from May 1996 until August 1998. Quantification by modified Folin-Ciocalteau assay showed a 16.2% increase in total phenolics in elevated ozone plants as compared to that in controls and a corresponding 9.9% increase of 10 phenolic compounds quantified by HPLC. Five nonflavonoids and five flavonoids showed 8.4% and 11.4% increases, respectively. The phenolic results indicated slightly higher ozone sensitivity of clone 5 as compared to clone 2. The most ozone-responsive phenolic compounds in clone 2 and clone 5 were (+)-catechin (CT), chlorogenic acid (CGA), 5-p-coumaroylquinic acid (5CQA), 3-p-coumaroylquinic acid (3CQA), myricetin galactopyranoside (MG), quercetin-3-O-glucuronopyranoside (QGR), and quercetin-3-O-arabinofuranoside (QA). Increased phenolic content in ozone-exposed plants was related to impaired growth and accelerated leaf senescence, indicated by enhanced autumn leaf yellowing and lower chlorophyll and Mg content. The change in carbon allocation towards defensive phenolics at the expense of growth was greater in the ozone-sensitive clone as compared to tolerant clone.

Differences in host use efficiency of larvae of a generalist moth, Operophtera brumata on three chemically divergent Salix species.

The food selection, growth, and fecundity of insect herbivores are largely dictated by the chemical composition and nutritive values of plant foliage. We studied the host-use efficiency of larvae of the generalist moth, Operophtera brumata (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) on three chemically divergent but nutritively similar willows (Salix spp.). The 4th instars were able to use the salicylate-free leaves of S. phylicifolia efficiently. Growth was slightly reduced on S. pentandra, which contained a moderate level of acetylated salicylates. The high concentration of salicylates found in the leaves of S. myrsinifolia seemed to provide efficient protection against non-specialized O. brumata. We also studied assimilation of nutrients and degradation of salicylates and other secondary compounds in the digestive tract of O. brumata larvae. Neither the assimilation of nitrogen nor of carbon were affected by secondary chemicals of ingested food. Salicylates were shown to be degraded to salicin and catechol, while further degradation of salicin to saligenin was rather slow. In an artificial diet experiment, we showed that two degradation products of salicylates, catechol and saligenin markedly reduced the growth of the larvae. Neither salicin nor chlorogenic acid affected larval growth. We conclude that salicylates reduced the growth of the generalist winter moth mainly by feeding deterrence caused by 6-hydroxy-2-cyclohexenone and catechol. Compared to the deleterious effects of salicylates the effects of other secondary compounds were minor.

Resource allocation in different parts of juvenile mountain birch plants: effect of nitrogen supply on seedling phenolics and growth.

The composition and concentrations of phenolic compounds were studied in the first true leaves, cotyledons, stems and roots of 2.5-week-old seedlings of mountain birch (Betula pubescens ssp. czerepanovii). The differences in secondary compounds among these plant parts were both qualitative and quantitative. In all parts, condensed tannins accounted for more than 50% of the phenolics. In the first true leaves and cotyledons, chlorogenic acid was the most abundant of the HPLC phenolics. The main components in stems were (+)-catechins and rhododendrins whereas in roots, the main components were ellagitannins. The seedlings were grown at three levels of nitrogen supply (very low-N, low-N, moderate-N), and the effect of nitrogen on concentrations of phenolic compounds was studied in all plant parts. The dry weight of all plant parts, except the roots, increased with increased nitrogen. In all parts, the concentration of condensed tannins was higher at lower levels of nitrogen than at moderate-N. The concentrations of total HPLC phenolics and also those of the compound groups of HPLC phenolics were, however, affected only in the first true leaves and roots. The concentrations in the first true leaves were generally higher in seedlings grown at very low-N and low-N than in seedlings grown at moderate-N. The concentrations in roots were highest at low-N. Not all compounds responded to nitrogen supply in the same manner. The changes in concentrations cannot be exclusively interpreted as changes in the accumulation of phenolic compounds, due to dilution caused by the increase in biomass in better nitrogen availability. There were differences in carbon allocation between condensed tannins and HPLC phenolics in seedlings grown at different nitrogen levels.

The purification and properties of a ribonucleoenzyme, o-diphenol oxidase, from potatoes.

1. o-Diphenol oxidase was isolated from potato tubers by a new approach that avoids the browning due to autoxidation. 2. There are at least three forms of the enzyme, of different molecular weights. The major form, of highest molecular weight, was separated from the others in good yield and with high specific activity by gel filtration through Bio-Gel P-300. 3. The major form is homogeneous by disc electrophoresis but regenerates small amounts of the species of lower molecular weight, as shown by rechromatography on Bio-Gel P-300. 4. There is an equal amount of RNA and protein by weight in the fully active enzyme. The RNA cannot be removed without loss of activity, and is not attacked by ribonuclease. 5. The pH optimum of the enzyme is at pH5.0 when assayed with 4-methylcatechol as substrate. It is ten times more active with this substrate than with chlorogenic acid or catechol. The enzyme is fully active in 4m-urea. 6. A minimal molecular weight of 36000 is indicated by copper content and amino acid analysis of the protein component of the enzyme. 7. The protein contains five half-cystinyl residues per 36000 daltons, a value similar to that found in o-diphenol oxidase from mushrooms. It also contains tyrosine residues although, when pure, it does not turn brown by autoxidation.

Prospects for glycerol-rescued hypoglycemia as a cancer therapy.

Most neoplasms are dependent on glucose as their primary fuel, and their ambient glucose levels tend to be rather low owing to wasteful aerobic glycolysis and poor perfusion. Previous attempts to starve tumors by inducing hypoglycemia have foundered on the fact that the CNS and other tissues have high glucose requirements. Burt has proposed that, inasmuch as hypoglycemia-sensitive normal tissues can make efficient use of glycerol, whereas many or most cancers cannot, hypoglycemic cancer therapy may be feasible if glycerol is concurrently infused. Unfortunately, when Burt used 3-mercaptopicolinate to inhibit gluconeogenesis and thereby induce hypoglycemia in fasted tumor-bearing subjects, infused glycerol served as gluconeogenic substrate, raising the serum glucose level. Agents which inhibit gluconeogenesis more distally - namely at the level of glucose-6-phosphatase or of fructosediphosphatase - may prevent the gluconeogenic response to glycerol, making glycerol-rescued hypoglycemic therapy of cancer feasible. In fact, certain new drugs being developed for diabetes therapy - chlorogenic acid derivatives and 'compound A' - are potent inhibitors of glucose-6-phosphatase, and both AICA riboside and 2,5-anhydro-D-mannitol have potential as clinical inhibitors of fructosediphosphatase. Insulin also can inhibit gluconeogenesis, both proximally and distally, and can potentiate hypoglycemia by promoting muscle glucose uptake; thus, coinfusion of high-dose insulin and of glycerol may represent an alternative viable strategy. Further research along these lines may enable glycerol-rescued hypoglycemia to become a feasible cancer therapy that has particular value as a complement to antiangiogenic measures.
