In-vitro biosynthesis of 1-(4′-hydroxyphenyl)-2-nitroethane and production of cyanogenic compounds in osmotically stressed cell suspension cultures of Eschscholtzia californica Cham.

Cell suspension cultures of Eschscholtzia californica produce one or more cyanogenic compounds when placed under osmotic stress. The nature of the compound(s) has not yet been established but they are not identical with the cyanogenic glucosides triglochinin and dhurrin, which occur in the intact plant. Microsomal fractions isolated from stressed cell cultures catalyze the synthesis of 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-nitroethane from L-tyrosine. Both NADPH and molecular oxygen are required as cosubstrates, and 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldoxime is an intermediate in the synthesis of the nitrocompound. This observation indicates that the biosynthetic pathways leading from L-tyrosine to 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-nitroethane and to the L-tyrosine-derived cyanogenic glucosides are closely related. A glucosyltransferase which glucosylates the nitrocompound in the presence of uridine diphosphate glucose appears in the osmotically stressed cultures in a time pattern similar to that for production of the nitrocompound.Abbreviations HPAA 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldoxime - HPLC high-pressure liquid chromatography - HPNE 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-nitroethane - TLC thin-layer chromatography     

Antioxidant and cytotoxic flavonols from Calotropis procera

Phytochemical investigations of Calotropis procera leaves have led to the isolation of two new compounds: quercetagetin-6-methyl ether 3-O-beta-D-4C1-galacturonopyranoside (3) and (E)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl-2-O-beta-D-4C1 -glucopyranoside)-methyl propenoate (4), along with eleven known metabolites: nine flavonol and two cinnamic acid derivatives. All metabolites were isolated for the first time from the genus Calotropis, except for 1 isolated previously from Calotropis gigantea. The structures were determined by spectroscopic methods (UV, ESI-MS, 1H, 13C NMR, 1H-1H COSY, HSQC, and HMBC). The radical scavenging activity of the aqueous methanol extract and compounds 8-13 was measured by the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. Cytotoxic screening of the same compounds was carried out on brine shrimps as well.
