Kinetics of cell growth and secondary metabolism of a high-tanshinone-producing line of the Ti transformed Salvia miltiorrhiza cells in suspension culture

When cultivated in 6,7-V medium in suspension culture, Salvia miltiorrhiza, transformed with Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58, grew rapidly, reaching about 9.7 g l^–1 dry wt after 12 days. The cell line produced tanshinones: 150 mg cryptotanshinone, 20 mg tanshinone I and 50 mg tanshinone IIA/l and phenolic acids: 530 mg rosmarinic acid and 216 mg lithospermic acid B/l. The phenolic acids were intracellular while about 1/3 of the tanshinones were extracellular. This is the first report of simultaneous production of both phenolic acids and tanshinones in a single culture system.     

Effects of stilbene derivatives on arachidonate metabolism in leukocytes

The effects of various alpha-phenylcinnamic acid derivatives (i.e., alpha-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)cinnamic acid, alpha-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3-hydroxycinnamic acid, alpha-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-4-hydroxycinnamic acid and alpha-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3, 4-dihydroxycinnamic acid) synthesized from 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl acetic acid and hydroxy-benzaldehyde, and 3,3',4-trihydroxystilbene obtained by decarboxylation of alpha-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3-hydroxycinnamic acid on rat peritoneal polymorphonuclear leukocyte lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase activities were studied. 3,3',4-Trihydroxystilbene was found to inhibit the 5-lipoxygenase product, 5-hydroperoxy-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE), and cyclooxygenase products, 12-hydroxy-5,8,10-heptadecatrienoic acid (HHT) and thromboxane B2; its concentrations for 50% inhibition (IC50) were 0.885 +/- 0.016 microM for the leukocyte lipoxygenase product, 5-HETE, 7.70 +/- 0.104 microM for the formations of HHT and 7.96 +/- 0.143 microM for the formation of thromboxane B2.

Simultaneous determination of six phenolic constituents of danshen in human serum using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry

The six phenolic constituents are water-soluble components extracted from the Chinese medical herb danshen, the dried roots of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (Labiatae). An liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS)-based method has been developed for the simultaneous quantification of six phenolic constituents of danshen (magnesium lithospermate B (MLB), rosmarinic acid (RA) and lithospermic acid (LA), caffeic acid (CAA), protocatechuic aldehyde (3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde, Pal), 3,4-dihydroxyphenyllactic acid (danshensu)) in human serum with chloramphenicol as internal standard. The serum samples were treated by special liquid-liquid extraction, and the analytes were determined using electrospray negative ionization mass spectrometry in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode, with sufficient sensitivity to allow analysis of human serum samples generated following administration of a clinically relevant dose. Good linearity over the range 8-2048 ng/mL for six phenolic constituents was observed. The intra- and inter-day precisions (CV) of analysis were <13%, and the accuracy ranged from 88 to 116%. This quantitation method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of i.v. drip infusion of Danshen injection fluid in human.     

Redox reaction between amino-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)methyl phosphonic acid and dopaquinone is responsible for the apparent inhibitory effect on tyrosinase.

Amino-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)methyl phosphonic acid, the phosphonic analog of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycine, had been previously reported as a potent inhibitor of tyrosinase. The mechanism of the apparent enzyme inhibition by this compound has now been established. Amino-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)methyl phosphonic acid turned out to be a substrate and was oxidized to o-quinone, which evolved to a final product identified as 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde, the same as for 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycine. Monohydroxylated compounds (amino-(3-hydroxyphenyl)methyl phosphonic acid and amino-(4-hydroxyphenyl)methyl phosphonic acid) were not oxidized, neither was 4-hydroxy-l-phenylglycine. However, the relatively high Km for amino-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)methyl phosphonic acid (0.52 mm) indicated that competitive inhibition could not entirely explain the previously reported strong inhibitory effect (Ki = 50 and 97 micro m for tyrosine and 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)alanine (Dopa) as substrates, respectively). Neither was the enzyme covalently inactivated to a significant degree. Spectroscopic and electrochemical analysis of the oxidation of a mixture of Dopa and the inhibitor demonstrated that the phosphonic compound reduced dopaquinone back to Dopa, thus diminishing and delaying the formation of dopachrome. This produces an apparent strong inhibitory effect when the reaction is monitored spectrophotometrically at 475 nm. In this peculiar case Dopa acts as a redox shuttle mediating the oxidation of the shorter phosphonic homolog. Decomposition of the phosphonic o-quinone to 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde drives the reaction against the slightly unfavorable difference in redox potentials.     

Phosphonic analogues of tyrosine and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa) influence mushroom tyrosinase activity.

A series of phosphonic analogues of tyrosine and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa) were synthesized in order to study their interaction with mushroom tyrosinase. 1-Amino-2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethylphosphonic acid and 1-amino-2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethylphosphonic acid turned out to be substrates for mushroom tyrosinase with Km values of 3.3 mM and 9.3 mM respectively. Shortening of the alkyl chain by one methylene group gave amino-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)methylphosphonic acid, one of the most powerful known inhibitors of this enzyme. This compound, racemic as well as in its optically active forms, exerts a mixed type of inhibition with an affinity for the enzyme one order of magnitude greater than that of the natural substrate.     

Production of a chiral alcohol, 1-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) ethanol, by mushroom tyrosinase

1-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl) ethanol was produced biocatalytically for the first time using mushroom tyrosinase. 4-Ethylphenol at 1 mM was consumed over 12 min giving 0.23 mM 4-ethylcatechol and 0.36 mM (R/S)-1-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) ethanol (ee 0.5 %). Mushroom tyrosinase consumed 4-ethylphenol at 6.7 μmol min^?1 mg protein^?1 while the rates of formation of 4-ethylcatechol and 1-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) ethanol were 1.1 and 1.9 μmol min^?1 mg protein^?1. Addition of the ascorbic acid, as a reducing agent to biotransformation reactions, increased 4-ethylcatechol formation by 340 %. However, accumulation of 1-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) ethanol was not observed in the presence of ascorbic acid. While the 1-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) ethanol was racemic, it is the first chiral product produced by tyrosinase starting from a non-chiral substrate.     

The chemotaxonomic significance of two bioactive caffeic acid esters,nepetoidins A and B,in the Lamiaceae

A survey of leaf surface constituents in the family Lamiaceae using HPLC with diode array detection revealed the presence of two characteristic phenolic compounds in many species. The distribution of these phenolics in the Lamiaceae was found to be of taxonomic significance, as they were present in the great majority of species investigated for the subfamily Nepetoideae, including representatives of the well-known genera of culinary herbs, mint, rosemary, sage, thyme and basil. In contrast, they were absent from species of the other subfamilies of Lamiaceae studied and from the related families Verbenaceae, Scrophulariaceae, Acanthaceae and Buddlejaceae. The compounds were isolated from Plectranthus crassus and identified by NMR spectroscopy as the known caffeic acid esters (Z,E)-[2-(3,5-dihydroxyphenyl)ethenyl] 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-propenoate and (Z,E)-[2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethenyl] 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-propenoate, for which the trivial names nepetoidins A and B are proposed. The presence of this pair of caffeic acid esters adds another character to the chemical, palynological and embryological features distinguishing the Nepetoideae from the other subfamilies of Lamiaceae and related families, and supports the view that the Nepetoideae are a specialised and monophyletic group within the family. Nepetoidin B was shown to have a greater antioxidant activity than gallic, rosmarinic and caffeic acids, and showed activity as an insect phagostimulant. Both compounds were antifungal.
