Isoflavonoids production in callus culture of Pueraria tuberosa, the Indian kudzu

Isoflavonoid contents of different plant parts and callus tissues of the Indian Kudzu, Pueraria tuberosa (Roxb.ex.Willd.) DC are presented. The initial cultures were slow growing, associated with browning of the tissues. The production of four isoflavonoids (puerarin, genistin, genistein and daidzein) in the callus cultures of P. tuberosa was studied by manipulating the plant growth regulators and sucrose concentration in the medium. Organogenesis was not recorded in callus on any of these treatments. Tuber and stem accumulated puerarin, a glycoside of daidzein, at high amounts, 0.65% and 0.054% respectively. However, the daidzein content of the callus tissues grown on Murashige and Skoog medium containing BA (20.9 microM) and sucrose (60 gl(-1)) was significantly higher (0.056%) than in vivo plant material (0.02%) and other comparable culture systems like Genista and Pueraria lobata.     

Correlation of antioxidant activity and major isoflavonoid contents of the phytoestrogen-rich Pueraria mirifica and Pueraria lobata tubers.

The antioxidant activity of wild Pueraria mirifica collected from 28 of the 76 provinces of Thailand and Pueraria lobata collected from China were assessed by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. P. mirifica tuberous extracts showed weak antioxidant activity in comparison with alpha-tocopherol. Six plant samples exhibited stronger antioxidant activity than the mean value of the P. mirifica population. In addition, the mean value of the P. mirifica population indicated significantly lower antioxidant activity than P. lobata. The analysis of the antioxidant activity of isoflavonoids revealed that puerarin and daidzein exhibited the same level of antioxidant activity as alpha-tocopherol. The results showed convincingly that puerarin and daidzein in the plant tubers may play an important role in antioxidant activity. The correlation analysis between antioxidant activity and major isoflavonoid contents of plant tubers indicated a significant correlation only with puerarin and a significant lack of correlation with daidzin, daidzein and genistein.     

Molecular characterization of the C‐glucosylation for puerarin biosynthesis in Pueraria lobata

C‐glycosyltransferases (CGTs) are important enzymes that are responsible for the synthesis of the C‐glycosides of flavonoids and isoflavonoids. Flavonoid CGTs have been molecularly characterized from several plant species; however, to date, no gene encoding an isoflavonoid CGT has been reported from any plant species. A significant example of an isoflavonoid C‐glycoside is puerarin, a compound that contributes to the major medicinal effects of Pueraria lobata. Little is known about the C‐glucosylation that occurs during puerarin biosynthesis. One possible route for puerarin synthesis is via the C‐glucosylation of daidzein. This study describes the molecular cloning and functional characterization of a novel glucosyltransferase (PlUGT43) from P. lobata. Biochemical analyses revealed that PlUGT43 possesses an activity for the C‐glucosylation of daidzein to puerarin; it shows activity with the isoflavones daidzein and genistein, but displays no activity towards other potential acceptors, including flavonoids. To validate the in vivo function of PlUGT43, the PlUGT43 gene was over‐expressed in soybean hairy roots that naturally synthesize daidzein but that do not produce puerarin. The expression of PlUGT43 led to the production of puerarin in the transgenic soybean hairy roots, confirming a role for PlUGT43 in puerarin biosynthesis.     

Deglycosylation of puerarin and other aromatic C-glucosides by a newly isolated human intestinal bacterium

The human intestinal microbiota may influence the fate of bioactive polyphenols, such as the isoflavone puerarin (daidzein 8-C-glucoside), following their oral intake. Faecal suspensions from 19 healthy subjects were tested for their ability to C-deglycosylate puerarin. Only one of these catalysed this reaction. A rod-shaped Gram-positive bacterium, strain CG19-1, capable of deglycosylating puerarin to daidzein was isolated from the corresponding suspension. However, the strictly anaerobic isolate was unable to utilize puerarin as sole carbon and energy source nor any of the tested carbohydrates. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain CG19-1 is a new species of the Lachnospiraceae. Strain CG19-1 also converted other aromatic C-glucosides in addition to puerarin. The xanthone C-glucoside mangiferin was deglycosylated to norathyriol. The flavone C-glucosides homoorientin and vitexin were degraded to 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)propionic acid via luteolin and 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid respectively. In addition, strain CG19-1 converted flavonoid O-glucosides, but at rates that were lower than those of the C-glucosides tested. The isolate deglycosylated the isoflavone O-glucosides daidzin and genistin to daidzein and genistein respectively. Several O-glucosides of the flavones luteolin and apigenin undergoing deglycosylation were subsequently cleaved to 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)propionic acid and 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid respectively. Moreover, strain CG19-1 cleaved both O-desmethylangolensin and 6'-hydroxy-O-desmethylangolensin to yield 2-(4-dihydroxyphenyl)propionic acid. The corresponding cleavage product, resorcinol, was only observed for O-desmethylangolensin.

In vitro enzymatic modification of puerarin to puerarin glycosides by maltogenic amylase

Puerarin (daidzein 8-C-glucoside), the most abundant isoflavone in Puerariae radix, is prescribed to treat coronary heart disease, cardiac infarction, problems in ocular blood flow, sudden deafness, and alcoholism. However, puerarin cannot be given by injection due to its low solubility in water. To increase its solubility, puerarin was transglycosylated using various enzymes. Bacillus stearothermophilus maltogenic amylase (BSMA) was the most effective transferase used compared with Thermotoga maritima maltosyl transferase (TMMT), Thermus scotoductus 4-alpha-glucanotransferase (TS4alphaGTase), and Bacillus sp. I-5 cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (BSCGTase). TMMT and TS4alphaGTase lacked acceptor specificity for puerarin, which lacks an O-glucoside linkage between D-glucose and 7-OH-daidzein. The yield exceeded 70% when reacting 1% puerarin (acceptor), 3.0% soluble starch (donor), and 5U/100 microL BSMA at 55 degrees C for 45 min. The two major transfer products of the BSMA reaction were purified using C(18) and GPC chromatography. Their structures were identified as alpha-d-glucosyl-(1-->6)-puerarin and alpha-D-maltosyl-(1-->6)-puerarin using ESI+ TOF MS-MS and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The solubility of the transfer products was 14 and 168 times higher than that of puerarin, respectively.     

Simultaneous determination of puerarin,daidzein, baicalin,wogonoside and liquiritin of GegenQinlian decoction in rat plasma by ultra-performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry

A specific ultra-performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS) method was developed for the simultaneous determination of puerarin, daidzein, baicalin, wogonoside and liquiritin in rat plasma. Chromatographic separation was performed on a C₁₈ column packed with 1.7 μm particles by a linear gradient elution. The analytes and carbamazepine (internal standard, I.S.) were monitored in a selected-ion reaction (SIR) mode with a positive electrospray ionization (ESI) interface by the following ions: m/z 417.2 for puerarin, m/z 255.2 for daidzein, m/z 271.0 for baicalin, m/z 461.0 for wogonoside, m/z 441.0 for liquiritin and m/z 237.2 for carbamazepine (I.S.), respectively. The calibration curves of these analytes were linear over the concentration ranges from 0.00254–1.02 μg mL^?1 to 0.0102–10.2 μg mL^?1. Within-batch and between-batch precisions (RSD%) were all within 15% and accuracy (RE%) ranged from ?10% to 10%. The extraction recoveries were on average 79.8% for puerarin, 90.8% for daidzein, 74.4% for baicalin, 70.2% for wogonoside and 84.7% for liquiritin. The validated method was successfully applied to investigate the pharmacokinetics of five bioactive compounds of GegenQinlian decoction (GQD) in rats.     

Identification of isoflavone glycosides in Pueraria lobata cultures by tandem mass spectrometry

Isoflavones in the methanolic extracts of kudzu (Pueraria lobata) callus, suspension and root cultures were compared in order to develop an experimental system in which puerarin (daidzein 8-C-glucoside) and other isoflavones could be synthesised in vitro. Quantitative variation of puerarin and other known isoflavones was estimated in kudzu culture extracts using HPLC-UV. The highest and lowest amounts of puerarin (14.56 and 0.33 mg/g) were present in in vitro root cultures and leaf tissue-derived callus cultures, respectively. A total of 48 isoflavone metabolites were detected in extracts of kudzu root cultures by HPLC-MS/MS, and the structures of 33 of them were tentatively assigned. Amongst these, 12 isoflavone C-glycosides were identified. Hydroxyderivatives of puerarin in several isomeric forms were detected, some of which have not been previously reported in kudzu root. The molecular weights, interpretation of characteristic fragment ions obtained from HPLC-MS/MS and comparison with reported data allowed the putative identification of the isoflavone metabolites.
