We report the widespread occurrence of structurally diverse oleuropeyl glucose esters, including the new diester eucaglobulin B, localized specifically to the essential oil secretory cavities of myrtaceous species. Clear taxonomic patterns in the composition of cavity extracts within the genus
The inclusion complexation of (2-hydroxypropyl)-cyclodextrins with flavanones was investigated by phase solubility measurements, as well as thermodynamic and quantum chemical methods. Inclusion complexes were formed between (2-hydroxypropyl)-α-cyclodextrin (HP-α-CD), (2-hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodextrin
Flavanone 3beta-hydroxylase (FHT), a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase (2-ODD), catalyzes the hydroxylation of (2S)-flavanones to (2R/3R)-dihydroflavonols in plants as a key step towards the biosynthesis of flavonols, anthocyanins and catechins. Crystallographic studies of 2-ODDs typically
Naturally multifunctional Rutaceae hesperidin and its aglycone hesperetin have a great variety of biopharmaceutical activities, e.g. anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antitumor; however, the influence of the molecular structures of hesperidin and hesperetin, and in particular, the
Naringenin is a biologically active analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant flavonoid. Naringenin targets in inflammation-induced articular pain remain poorly explored.The present study investigated the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in Inclusion complexation of 2'-hydroxyflavanone (2'HF) with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was studied, both in solution phase and as solid inclusion complexes, by UV-visible and fluorescence spectroscopic, scanning electron microscopic and X-ray diffractometric techniques. The interaction of 2'HF with calf
Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is the primary etiological agent of dental caries. The S. mutans enzyme sortase A (SrtA) is responsible for anchoring bacterial cell wall surface proteins involved in host cell attachment and biofilm formation. Thus, SrtA is an attractive target
The effect of (2-hydroxypropyl)-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CyD) on the solubility properties and spectroscopic features of hesperetin and its 7-rhamnoglucoside, hesperidin, was qualitatively and quantitatively investigated in water, by means of UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The
The contents of another loculus were separated in a pollen and tapetum fraction. The following enzymes involved in phenylpropanoid metabolism were present in the tapetum fraction: shikimate dehydrogenase; phenylalanine ammonialyase; cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase; SAM (S-adenosylmethionine): caffeate
The solution structure of the Bacillus subtilis protein YndB has been solved using NMR to investigate proposed biological functions. The YndB structure exhibits the helix-grip fold, which consists of a β-sheet with two small and one long α-helix, forming a hydrophobic cavity that preferentially
In plant-based food, phenolic compounds usually do not exist in their native form, but as esters, glycosides, or polymers. The native forms, however, require deglycosylation for their intestinal absorption, and aglycone has been considered to be the potential health-protecting/promoting form. The
Three novel chiral stationary phases (CSPs) were prepared by regioselective chemical immobilization of mono(6(A)-N-allylamino-6(A)-deoxy)perphenylcarbamoylated (PICD) α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrins (CDs) onto silica support via hydrosilylation. Their enantioseparation properties in high performance
The sub-dermal secretory cavities (glands) embedded within the leaves of Eucalyptus (Myrtaceae) were once thought to be the exclusive repositories of monoterpene and sesquiterpene oils. Recent research has debunked this theory and shown that abundant non-volatile compounds also occur within foliar
An ethylenediamine dicarboxyethyl diacetamido-bridged bis(β-cyclodextrin) was firstly synthesized through the reaction of 6-deoxy-6-amino-β-cyclodextrin (NH2-CD) with ethylenediaminetetraacetic dianhydride. Then it was bonded onto the surface of silica gel SBA-15 to obtain an
Naturally occurring flavonoids co-exist as glycoside conjugates, which dominate aglycones in their content. To unveil the structure-activity relationship of a naturally occurring flavonoid, we investigated the effects of the glycosylation of naringenin on the inhibition of enzyme systems related to
