The organic solvent extract of Kumazasa leaves (Sasa albo-marginata) showed antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi and yeast. Kumazasa at a concentration of 0.2-1.0% showed stronger antimicrobial activity than potassium sorbate or sodium benzoate at the same concentration. Both acidic and phenolic fractions of the extract showed strong antimicrobial activity. Thirty acidic and phenolic compounds were identified by GC and GC-MS analysis. Acetic, propionic, benzoic, phenylacetic, salicylic, 3-hydroxybenzoic and o-anisic acids, and guaiacol, phenol, 4-ethylphenol, xylenol and 4-vinylphenol were the main components. It was estimated that these components play an important role in the formation of the antimicrobial activity of Kumazasa extract.  相似文献

In the mustard paste, sinalbin is hydrolyzed by myrosinase to p-hydroxybenzyl isothiocyanate (I), sinapine acid sulfate and glucose. It was found that the three decomposition products were formed from sinalbin, and two of them were isolated from the mustard paste and identified as p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (II) and di-(p-hydroxybenzyl)-disulfide (IV), respectively. II was a major product and IV was a minor product.  相似文献

Some cyclic phosphorus esters were prepared from o-hydroxybenzyl alcohol and its analogues. They reacted with nucleophilic agents to open their heterocyclic ring at P-O-C (aryl) bond. Phosphate ion catalyzed the hydrolysis of the cyclic phosphorus esters under a mild condition. An intermediate hydrolysate was separated by paper electrophoresis.  相似文献

The combined effects of radiations and halogenophenols were investigated. The activities of these reagents to increase the radiolethality during irradiation were demonstrated with E. coli and Z. soya. Some relationships between chemical structure and activity were revealed as follows at pH 6 and 8: (1) effectiveness of substituted halogen was in the order of I>Br>Cl; (2) effectiveness of the monosubstituting position on a benzene ring of halogenophenols was increased in the order of p->m->o-; (3) effectiveness increased with increasing the number of halogen atom. The halogenophenol action was also found to be considerably pH-dependent. In the case of chlorinated derivatives, the synergistic activity to increase the radiolethality was intensified on the acidic side, though bromides and iodides were more effective on the basic side.  相似文献

Radiopharmaceuticals suitable for use in cases where delayed excretion of hepatobiliary tracer can occur, were formulated from indium-111 and gallium-67 and the chelating agents N,N′-ethylene-bis-[o-hydroxyphenylglycine], (EHPG) and N,N′-bis-[2-hydroxybenzyl] ethylenediamine-N,N′-diacetic acid, (HBED). The hepatobiliary excretion of these 67Ga and 111In chelates was optimised by using chelators which had substituents in the phenolic ring; halogen substituents imparted the most favourable characteristics.  相似文献

High performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) analysis of culture filtrates of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and medium of inhibitory zone of interaction of Sclerotium rolfsii with PGPR, viz. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas fluorescens 4, Pseudomonas fluorescens 4 (new) and Pseudomonas sp. varied from sample to sample. In all the culture filtrates of PGPRs, P. aeruginosa had nine phenolic acids in which ferulic acid (14.52 μg/ml) was maximum followed by other phenolic acids. However, the culture filtrates of P. fluorescens 4 had six phenolic acids with maximum ferulic acid (20.54 μg/ml) followed by indole acetic acid (IAA), caffeic, salicylic, o-coumeric acid and cinnamic acids. However, P. fluorescens 4 culture filtrate had seven phenolic acids in which salicylic acid was maximum (18.03 μg) followed by IAA, caffeic, vanillic, ferulic, o-coumeric and cinnamic acids. Pseudomonas sp. also showed eight phenolic acids where caffeic acid (2.75 μg) was maximum followed by trace amounts of ferulic, salicylic, IAA, vanillic, cinnamic, o-coumeric and tannic acids. The analysis of antibiosis zone of PGPRs showed fairly rich phenolic acids. A total of nine phenolic acids were detected in which caffeic acid was maximum (29.14 μg/g) followed by gallic (17.64 μg/g) and vanillic (3.52 μg/g) acids but others were in traces. In P. aeruginosa, antibiosis zone had seven phenolic acids where IAA was maximum (3.48 μg/g) followed by o-coumeric acid (2.08 μg/g), others were in traces. The medium of antibiosis zone of P. fluorescens 4 and P. fluorescens 4 new had eight phenolic acids in which IAA was maximum with other phenolic acids in traces.  相似文献

Studies were made on the influence of phenolic compounds on the nutritive value of casein by the nitrogen-balance technique with rats and by the chemical measurement of available lysine.

It was found that caseins allowed to react with caffeic, isochlorogenic acids and phenolic compounds of red clover leaves in the presence of o-diphenol oxidase were inferior to control casein in biological value, digestibility and available lysine content. In the absence of o-diphenol oxidase, caffeic acid showed none of these effects. p-Coumaric acid lowered the biological value of casein in the presence of o-diphenol oxidase but did not lowered its digestibility.  相似文献

Chemical and physiological changes occurring in root sapwood of Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.), when attacked by Fomes annosus (Fr.) Cke, were studied. The transformation of sapwood to reaction zone, induced by the fungal attack, implies a very sharp increase of carbonate content, correlated with higher amounts of potassium, calcium and magnesium. The buffer capacity of the reaction zone is strong, especially in the pH range 6–9. The high peroxidase activity in the rays of the sapwood is almost totally absent in the reaction zone, probably due to inactivating phenolic compounds. o-Diphenol oxidase was detectable only in the presence of microorganisms. p-Diphenol oxidase was active in connection with decaying wood but not in the reaction zone.  相似文献

Preliminary tests for pesticidal activities of some cyclic phosphorus esters derived from o-hydroxybenzyl alcohol or its analogues were undertaken. 2-Ethoxy-4H-l,3,2-benzodioxa-phosphoran-2-one has strong insecticidal activity. Some other esters have weak or no insecti-cidal activity by themselves but strong synergistic action with malathion to houseflies and silkworms. Some cyclic esters show nematocidal activity and phytotoxicity.  相似文献

Rhodococcus sp. strain JVH1 was previously reported to use a number of compounds with aliphatic sulfide bridges as sulfur sources for growth. We have shown that although JVH1 does not use the three-ring thiophenic sulfur compound dibenzothiophene, this strain can use the two-ring compound benzothiophene as its sole sulfur source, resulting in growth of the culture and loss of benzothiophene. Addition of inorganic sulfate to the medium reduced the conversion of benzothiophene, indicating that benzothiophene metabolism is repressed by sulfate and that benzothiophene is therefore used specifically as a sulfur source. JVH1 also used all six isomers of methylbenzothiophene and two dimethylbenzothiophene isomers as sulfur sources for growth. Metabolites identified from benzothiophene and some methylbenzothiophenes were consistent with published pathways for benzothiophene biodesulfurization. Products retaining the sulfur atom were sulfones and sultines, the sultines being formed from phenolic sulfinates under acidic extraction conditions. With 2-methylbenzothiophene, the final desulfurized product was 2-methylbenzofuran, formed by dehydration of 3-(o-hydroxyphenyl) propanone under acidic extraction conditions and indicating an oxygenative desulfination reaction. With 3-methylbenzothiophene, the final desulfurized product was 2-isopropenylphenol, indicating a hydrolytic desulfination reaction. JVH1 is the first microorganism reported to use all six isomers of methylbenzothiophene, as well as some dimethylbenzothiophene isomers, as sole sulfur sources. JVH1 therefore possesses broader sulfur extraction abilities than previously reported, including not only sulfidic compounds but also some thiophenic species.  相似文献

Hairy root cultures of Salvia miltiorrhiza were established by infecting sterile plantlets with Agrobacterium rhizogenes ATCC 15834, and the transformation was proved by direct detection of the inserted T-DNA by the polymerase chain reaction. As determined by HPLC, these hairy root cultures had the ability to produce lithospermic acid B (LAB), rosmarinic acid (RA) and other related phenolic compounds, the water-soluble active components of the plant. The effect of five different basal media, MS, MS-NH<INF>4</INF> (MS without ammonium nitrate), B5, WPM and 6,7-V on the root growth and phenolic compound production was studied. It was found that MS-NH<INF>4</INF> and 6,7-V media were superior to MS, B5 and WPM media in terms of both root growth and phenolic compound production. The time course of biomass accumulation and phenolic compound formation was also examined in the culture using MS-NH<INF>4</INF>medium. During cultivation, the content of RA in the roots was stable being approximately 0.48% of dry weight while the content of LAB fluctuated between 0.73% and 1.61% of dry weight, and decreased gradually at the stationary phase of growth. The highest production of LAB and RA was about 64 mg L−1 and 23 mg L−1, respectively. Received 05 November 1998/ Accepted in revised form 06 February 1999  相似文献

A particulate enzyme displaying peroxidase activity has been extracted from the red alga Cystoclonium purpureum (Huds.) Batt. The enzyme preparation was shown to contain ferri-protoporphyrin IX through its formation of formic acid hemochromogen with absorption maxima at 399, 402, 555 and 600 nm. The preparation catalyses the formation of 3-bromo-p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol from p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol in the presence of H2O2 and NaBr at pH = 5.4. The formation of 3-bromo-p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol was measured by gas chromato-graphy-mass spectrometry. At pH = 6.7, 4,5-di-hydroxybenzyl alcohol was formed. Addition of homogentisic acid stimulated the formation of dihydroxybenzyl alcohol and suppressed the brominating reaction. Iodide inhibits the enzyme. The results are consistent with a two-site model of the enzyme.  相似文献

The thermostable truncated hemoglobin from the actinomyces Thermobifida fusca (Tf-trHb) displays a robust peroxidase activity, with optimum at acidic pH values, in experiments with the redox mediator ABTS. However, typical peroxidase substrates, such as phenolic or aromatic amine compounds, appear to be poor substrates for Tf-trHb. In turn, the protein is able to catalyze a unique dehydrogenation reaction of dibenzylbutanolides, suggested intermediates in the biosynthesis of podophyllotoxin, in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Dibenzylbutanolides with a free 4″-hydroxyl group were thus converted into the corresponding 2,7″-dehydroderivatives thus setting up the basis for an efficient biotransformation of this important precursor. In particular, Tf-trHb mediated oxidation of trans-2-(4″-hydroxy-3″,5″-dimethoxybenzyl)-3-(3′,4′-methylenedioxy-7′β-hydroxybenzyl)butanolide 1 into the corresponding benzylidene-benzoyl-γ-butyrolactone 2 was obtained at high yield and with excellent selectivity.  相似文献

In the present study analytical and preparative supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) were used for investigation of myrosinase catalysed degradation of 4-hydroxybenzylglucosinolate (sinalbin). Sinalbin occurs as a major glucosinolate in seeds of Sinapis alba L., in various mustards and other food products. The degradation products were identified and quantified by analysis based on a developed SFC method using a bare silica column. Determinations comprised transformation products of sinalbin, produced both during degradation of isolated sinalbin, and during autolysis of meal from S. alba seeds. The conditions in the developed SFC method were used as basis for the preparative SFC procedure applied for isolation of the components prior to their identification by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Myrosinase catalysed sinalbin hydrolysis resulted in the reactive 4-hydroxybenzyl isothiocyanate as an initial product at pH values from 3.5 to 7.5 whereas 4-hydroxybenzyl cyanide was one of the major products at low pH values. 4-Hydroxybenzyl isothiocyanate was found to disappear from the aqueous reaction mixtures in a few hours, as it reacted easily with available nucleophilic reagents. 4-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol was found as the product from reaction with water, and with ascorbic acid, 4-hydroxybenzylascorbigen was produced.  相似文献

Inhibition efficiency (antioxidant activity) of 26 oxygen-containing aromatic compounds was studied in methemalbumin-H2O2-o-phenylenediamine (PDA) or tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) pseudoperoxidase system at 20°C in buffered physiological solution (pH 7.4) containing 6% DMF and 0.25% DMSO. The inhibitor’s efficiency was quantitatively characterized by the inhibition constants (K i, μM) or the inhibition degree (%). K i values varied in the range of 4 to 500 μM and were influenced by a substrate, the structure of an inhibitor, hydroxyl groups, electron-donating substituents in aromatic ring, and steric hindrances. The type of inhibition at cooxidation of eight pairs was noncompetitive, and that of five pairs was mixed and determined by the substrate nature and the inhibitor structure. Lignin phenolic compounds of guaiacyl and syringal series exhibited high antioxidant activity (K i in the range of 10–300 μM), and their efficiency decreased in the following order: caffeic acid > synapaldehyde > syringic acid > coniferyl aldehyde > para-hydroxycoumaric acid.  相似文献

Abstract

Polyphenols are important secondary products of plants with the potential to inhibit carbonic anhydrases. The aim of this study was to investigate the inhibition effects of various phenolic standards, honey, propolis, and pollen species on human carbonic anhydrase I and II. The inhibition values (IC50) of the phenolics (gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, quercetin, catechin, tannic acid, and chrysin) ranged from 0.009 to 0.32?μg/mL, tannic acid emerging as the best inhibitor. The inhibition values of three different types of honey, heather, rhododendron, and chestnut ranged between 2.32 and 25.10?μg/mL, the chestnut honeys exhibiting the best inhibition. The ethanolic extracts of pollen and propolis exhibited good inhibitory properties, with IC50 values between 0.486 and 3.320?μg/mL. In order to evaluate the phenolic composition of bee products, phenolic profiles and total phenolic contents (TFC) were also measured. The inhibition ranking among the natural products studied was phenolic standards?>?propolis?>?pollen?>?honeys, and inhibition was related to TFC.  相似文献

The effect of conventional antioxidants on soybean lipoxygenase reaction was examined. Inhibitory activities of o-diphenols such as pyrocatechol, homocatechol, propyl gallate and NDGA were higher than those of m- and p diphenols. The mode of inhibition by NDGA, one of the most effective inhibitors among the phenolic antioxidants tested, conformed to a competitive type and not to an induction period type. Under certain conditions, NDGA could be an irreversible inactivator for the enzyme. The effect of NDGA on the enzyme reaction could not be completely explained by the coupled oxidation theory. The inactivation by NDGA were effectively prevented by either of adding catalase, of incubating under anaerobic condition or in low pH medium or of adding borate. These facts showed that the inactivation of lipoxygenase took place in consonance with the autoxidation of NDGA.  相似文献

Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) substrate interactions for a mesophilic (25°C) and thermophilic (50°C) toluene-acclimatized composted pine bark biofilter were investigated. Toluene, benzene, ethylbenzene, o-xylene, m-xylene and p-xylene removal efficiencies, both individually and in paired mixtures with toluene (1:1 ratio), were determined at a total loading rate of 18.1 g m–3 h–1 and retention time ranges of 0.5–3.0 min and 0.6–3.8 min for mesophilic and thermophilic biofilters, respectively. Overall, toluene degradation rates under mesophilic conditions were superior to degradation rates of individual BEX compounds. With the exception of p-xylene, higher removal efficiencies were achieved for individual BEX compounds compared to toluene under thermophilic conditions. Overall BEX compound degradation under mesophilic conditions was ranked as ethylbenzene >benzene >o-xylene >m-xylene >p-xylene. Under thermophilic conditions overall BEX compound degradation was ranked as benzene >o-xylene >ethylbenzene >m-xylene >p-xylene. With the exception of o-xylene, the presence of toluene in paired mixtures with BEX compounds resulted in enhanced removal efficiencies of BEX compounds, under both mesophilic and thermophilic conditions. A substrate interaction index was calculated to compare removal efficiencies at a retention time of 0.8 min (50 s). A reduction in toluene removal efficiencies (negative interaction) in the presence of individual BEX compounds was observed under mesophilic conditions, while enhanced toluene removal efficiency was achieved in the presence of other BEX compounds, with the exception of p-xylene under thermophilic conditions.  相似文献

Two sucrose phosphorylases were employed for glycosylation of carboxylic acid compounds. Streptococcus mutans sucrose phosphorylase showed remarkable transglycosylating activity, especially under acidic conditions. Leuconostoc mesenteroides sucrose phosphorylase exhibited very weak transglycosylating activity. Three main products were detected from the reaction mixture using benzoic acid and sucrose as an acceptor and a donor molecule, respectively. These compounds were identified as 1-O-benzoyl α-d-glucopyranoside, 2-O-benzoyl α-d-glucopyranose, and 2-O-benzoyl β-d-glucopyranose by 1D-and 2D-NMR analyses of the isolated products and their acetylated products. Time-course analyses proved that 1-O-benzoyl α-d-glucopyranoside was initially produced by the transglycosylation reaction of the enzyme. 2-O-Benzoyl α-d-glucopyranose and 2-O-benzoyl β-d-glucopyranose were produced from 1-O-benzoyl α-d-glucopyranoside by intramolecular acyl migration reaction. S. mutans sucrose phosphorylase showed broad acceptor-specificity. This sucrose phosphorylase catalyzed transglycosylation to various carboxylic compounds such as short-chain fatty acids, hydroxy acids, dicarboxylic acids, and phenolic carboxylic acids. 1-O-Acetyl α-d-glucopyranoside was also enzymatically synthesized by transglucosylation reaction of the enzyme. The sensory test of acetic acid and the glucosides revealed that the sour taste of acetic acid glucosides was significantly lower than that of acetic acid.  相似文献

The phenolic composition was determined in the leaves, petioles and bark tissues of male and female plants of two papaya cultivars. The same kind of phenolics were isolated from the male and female plants. However, a marked difference was observed between the plant organs of different cultivars. The important free and bound phenolics extracted after acidic and alkaline hydrolysis were caffeic acid, gentisic acid, m-coumaric acid, p-coumaric acid, salicylic acid and quercetin. Four phenolic compounds were not identified. The amounts of free, acid-hydrolysable and alkali-hydrolysable phenolic compounds were considerably higher in male plants.  相似文献
