人参毛状根生物合成熊果苷的分离与鉴定

熊果苷(arbutin),化学名称为对-羟基苯-β-D-吡喃葡萄糖苷,能够竞争性抑制酪氨酸酶的活性从而抑制黑色素的形成,被国际公认为高效祛斑美白剂,是化妆品中理想的添加成分.人参(Panax ginseng C. A. Mey.)自古以来就是名贵药材,由于人参在栽培过程中存在着栽培困难、周期过长、地域限制等难题,人参的组织培养受到了广泛的重视.本实验室已建立了人参细胞大量培养体系1]和人参毛状根培养体系2],并把熊果苷与人参细胞配伍应用到化妆品生产中,产品深受广大消费者青睐.用植物培养物对外源底物进行生物转化,从而对其结构进行修饰,以获得更有意义的产物的研究报道很多3～9],也是当今研究的热点.本实验室已对人参生物转化熊果苷的基本条件进行了初步探讨10],本文在此基础上,对转化产物进行了分离鉴定.

Isolation and identification of arbutin biosynthesis by hairy roots of Panax ginseng C.A.Mey

Using ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Mey.) hairy roots as a bioreactor, exogenous hydroquinone (HQ) was added aseptically to suspension of hairy roots on 22 d. Twenty-four hours after the addition of HQ, the hairy roots were separated from the medium. Through identification of TLC and HPLC,it was proved that hydroquinone has been bioconversed into arbutin, and arbutin from hairy root of P. ginseng was isolated and identified.
