A survey of anthocyanins in fruits of some angiosperms,I

The anthocyanin pigments in the fruits of fifty-two species belonging to seventeen families of angiosperms were investigated paper-chromatographicallly. They were identified as cyanidin 3-monoglucoside, pelargonidin 3-monoglucoside, cyanidin 3-rutinoside, pelargonidin 3-rutinoside, cyanidin 3-xylosylglucoside, cyanidin 3-xylosylgalactoside, delphinidin 3-xylosylglucoside and delphinidin 3-sophorosido-5-monoglucoside. Of those anthocyanins detected, the most common was cyanidin 3-monoglucoside. In general, the plants belonging to a certain genus contained the same anthocyanin.     

Distribution pattern of anthocyanidins and anthocyanins in polygonaceous plants

Forty-six polygonaceous plants were examined regarding the nature and amount of anthocyanidins which were obtained as the HCl-hydrolyzate of leaf proanthocyanidins. All of the plants examined contained cyanidin in common in their hydrolyzed leafextracts. From this survey, at least three groups of plants may be distinguished; the first containing only cyanidin, the second delphinidin in addition to cyanidin and the third an unknown anthocyanidin (called PA-X) and cyanidin. Of the plants examined,Polygonum cuspidatum leaves yielded cyanidin in the largest amounf. There were no geographical and seasondl variations of the distribution pattern of pigments in the plants, and also no variation of anthocyanidin-types was observed in young and mature leaves. A further survey of anthocyanins in the plants revealed that delphinidin glycosides are present in the sepals ofPolygonum nepalense andP. thunbergii.     

Delphinidin,a dietary anthocyanidin in berry fruits,inhibits human glyoxalase I

Glyoxalase I (GLO I) is the rate-limiting enzyme for detoxification of methylglyoxal (MG), a side-product of glycolysis, which is able to induce apoptosis. Since GLO I is known to be highly expressed in the most tumor cells and little in normal cells, inhibitors of this enzyme has been expected to be new anticancer drugs. Here, we examined the inhibitory abilities to the human GLO I of anthocyanidins, such as delphinidin, cyanidin and pelargonidin. Among them, delphinidin was found to have the most potent inhibitory effect on human GLO I. Also, only delphinidin-induced apoptosis in HL-60 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Furthermore, we determined a pharmacophore for delphinidin binding to the human GLO I by computational simulation analyses of the binding modes of delphinidin, cyanidin and pelargonidin to the enzyme hot spot. These results suggest that delphinidin could be a useful lead compound for the development of novel GLO I inhibitory anticancer drugs.     

Human tumor cell growth inhibition by nontoxic anthocyanidins, the pigments in fruits and vegetables

Anthocyanidins, the aglycones of anthocyanins, impart brilliant colors in many fruits and vegetables. The widespread consumption of diets rich in anthocyanin and anthocyanidins prompted us to determine their inhibitory effects on human cancer cell proliferation. Five anthocyanidins, cyanidin (1), delphinidin (2), pelargonidin (3), petunidin (4) and malvidin (5), and four anthocyanins, cyanidin-3-glucoside, cyanidin-3-galactoside, delphinidin-3-galactoside and pelargonidin-3-galactoside were tested for cell proliferation inhibitory activity against human cancer cell lines, AGS (stomach), HCT-116 (colon), MCF-7 (breast), NCI H460 (lung), and SF-268 (Central Nervous System, CNS) at 12.5-200 microg/mL concentrations. The viability of cells after exposure to anthocyanins and anthocyanidins was determined by MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) colorimetric methods. The anthocyanins assayed did not inhibit cell proliferation of cell lines tested at 200 microg/mL. However, anthocyanidins showed cell proliferation inhibitory activity. Malvidin inhibited AGS, HCT-116, NCI-H460, MCF-7 and SF-268 cell growth by 69, 75.7, 67.7, 74.7 and 40.5%, respectively, at 200 microg/mL. Similarly, pelargonidin inhibited AGS, HCT-116, NCI H460, MCF-7 and SF-268 cell growth by 64, 63, 62, 63 and 34%, respectively, at 200 microg/mL. At 200 microg/mL, cyanidin, delphinidin and petunidin inhibited the breast cancer cell growth by 47, 66 and 53%, respectively. This is the first report of tumor cell proliferation inhibitory activity by anthocyanidins.     

Genetic control of biosynthesis of anthocyans in sweet pea (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Lathyrus odoratus</Emphasis> L.) flowers

Inheritance of anthocyanidins in sweet pea flowers was studied. A relationship was revealed between the colour of flowers in plants of mutant lines and the presence of different types of anthocyanidins in petal cells. Forms synthesizing anthocyanidins with a large number of OH groups in the B ring of their structure were found to be dominant with respect to less hydroxylated pigments. The functions of three earlier undescribed nonallelic genes of sweet pea have been identified for the first time. Gene R determines the synthesis of pelargonidin that has one OH group in the B ring. The formation of dihydroxylated cyanidin is controlled by the Sm1 gene. Gene E1 is involved in the biosynthesis of trihydroxylated delphinidin. A scheme of genetic control of anthocyanidin biosynthesis in sweet pea flowers is proposed on the basis of the data obtained. Possible mechanisms of the action of the identified genes are discussed     

Survey of bioactive components in Western Canadian berries

Berries native to Western Canada were analyzed for total anthocyanins, total phenolics, and trolox equivalent antioxidant activity (TEAC). Values ranged from 1.60 to 9.55 mmol trolox equivalent per 100 g fresh mass. Anthocyanin content ranged from 41.6 (in red twinberries) to 1081 mg cyanidin-3-glucoside equivalents per 100 g fresh mass (in honeysuckle fruits). Honeysuckle fruits contained the highest amount of total polyphenols, 1111 mg gallic acid equivalents per 100 g, among analyzed fruits. Additionally, anthocyanins in the investigated berries were identified and characterized by HPLC - electrospray ionization - tandem mass spectrometric method coupled with diode array detection. The number of anthocyanins varied from 4 in saskatoon berries (Amelanchier alnifolia Nutt.) to 20 in bilberries (Vaccinum myrtilloides Michx.). In all the samples analyzed, 6 common anthocyanidins:, cyanidin, delphinidin, pelargonidin, petunidin, peonidin, and malvidin, were found. Half the analyzed berries contained acylated anthocyanins, but a significant amount was found only in bilberries. The analyzed berry seed oils contained high amounts of unsaturated fatty acids (over 90%), but only the golden currant seed oil contained gamma-linolenic acid.     

Anthocyanins in the genus Erica

3-Glucosides, 3-galactosides and 3-arabinosides of cyanidin, delphinidin, malvidin, peonidin and pelargonidin have been identified as major floral pigments in Erica (Ericaceae). Unidentified 3-biosides are present as minor pigments in some species. A comparison is made with floral anthocyanins occurring in the related family Epacridaceae.     

Chemotaxonomy, variation and geographical distribution of the Empetraceae

Thirty-one flavonoids (and related phenolics) were found in leaves of the six species in the three genera of Empetraceae (90 populations studied) and five further pigments in fruits of Empetrum. Affinity with the Ericaceae is supported by the occurrence of the 3-galactosidesof gossypetin, malvidin, delphinidin, cyanidin and peonidin. The distribution of leaf flavonoids agrees with both the recognition of three genera and species-delimitation in Ceratiola and Corema. In Empetrum , the flavonoids differ modally in the three species usually accepted, thus confirming data on fruit colour and breeding systems, and suggesting that the genus comprises one species with about three subspecies at diploid and tetraploid levels. The black fruits of most Northern Hemisphere plants contain malvidin, petunidin and delphinidin, while the red fruits of almost all Southern Hemisphere populations ( E. rubrum ) contain cyanidin and peonidin and provide a rare example of the association of cyanidin (instead of delphinidin) with the wild-type allele.
In leaf flavonoid content the diploid E. nigrum is much closer to its presumed tetraploid derivative E. eamesii than to the diploid E. rubrum , which differs most from E. eamesii. Flavonoid patterns and breeding system distinguish most E. rubrum populations from those isolated in Tristan da Cunha-Gough Island. The phytogeographical importance of the phytOGhemical results is discussed.

Anthocyanin pigments in Callistephus chinensis

Identification of the anthocyanin pigments in the flowers of six genotypes of Callistephus chinensis has confirmed that a series of multiple alleles, R, r′ and r are responsible for the production of delphinidin, cyanidin, and pelargonidin derivatives respectively. However, mixtures of anthocyanidin types were present in all genotypes. In the presence of gene M, mainly 3,5-diglycosides were found; in recessive genotypes (mm) there were only 3-mono-glucosides. Unstable acylated derivatives of these pigments were also present.
