beta-Hydroxyacteoside

A study of the precursors of the natural antioxidant phenol 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol in olive oil waste.[Pubmed:23578627]

Food Chem. 2013 Sep 1;140(1-2):154-60.

3,4-Dihydroxyphenylglycol (DHPG) is a potent antioxidant recently found in the free form in olive oil and table olives. DHPG can be recovered from olive oil solid waste by a hydrothermal treatment. It was observed that an increase in the concentration of DHPG occurred when alperujo aqueous extracts were subjected to mild thermal conditions (post-treatment). This fact indicates that certain solubilized compounds or precursors containing DHPG which is released with the post-treatment. In the present study, the precursors of DHPG were identified and characterized after extraction from alperujo using thermal treatment and purification by fractionation on Amberlite(R) XAD16 polyamide and semi-preparative reverse-phase HPLC columns. Their structures were elucidated using HPLC coupled to diode array detector (DAD) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). The results identified three compounds as precursors, and their structures can be attributed to the diastereoisomeric forms of the two beta-hydroxy derivatives of verbascoside and isoverbascoside (beta-Hydroxyacteoside and beta-hydroxyisoacteoside), and 2''-hydroxyoleuropein, all of which contain a DHPG moiety, potentially explaining the increases in the concentration of this phenolic compound in olive oil waste.

Biosynthesis of acteoside in cultured cells of Olea europaea.[Pubmed:20037799]

J Nat Med. 2010 Apr;64(2):139-45.

Five phenylethanoid glycosides (acteoside, isoacteoside, beta-oxoacteoside, beta-Hydroxyacteoside, and salidroside) were isolated from a cell suspension culture of Olea europaea. We examined the biosynthesis of acteoside in olive cell cultures by using feeding experiments with stable isotope labeled precursors. The hydroxytyrosol moiety of acteoside is biosynthesized from tyrosine through dopamine, whereas the caffeoyl moiety of acteoside is biosynthesized from phenylalanine via a cinnamate pathway. Dopamine is incorporated into acteoside through oxidation to the corresponding aldehyde, reduction to the alcohol, and then beta-glycosylation.

Anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive potential of major phenolics from Verbascum salviifolium Boiss.[Pubmed:18533461]

Z Naturforsch C J Biosci. 2008 Mar-Apr;63(3-4):196-202.

The potential effects of flavonoids, phenylethanoid and neolignan glycosides from the aerial parts of Verbascum salviifolium Boiss. were studied in the p-benzoquinone-induced writhing reflex, for the assessment of the antinociceptive activity, and in carrageenan- and PGE1-induced hind paw edema and 12-O-tetradecanoyl-13-acetate (TPA)-induced ear edema models in mice, for the assessment of the anti-inflammatory activity. Through bioassay-guided fractionation and isolation procedures ten compounds from the aqueous extract of the plant, luteolin 7-O-glucoside (1), luteolin 3'-O-glucoside (2), apigenin 7-O-glucoside (3), chrysoeriol 7-O-glucoside (4), beta-Hydroxyacteoside (5), martynoside (6), forsythoside B (7), angoroside A (8), dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol-9'-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (9) and dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol-9-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (10), were isolated and their structures were elucidated by spectral techniques. Results have shown that 1, 2, 3 and 5 significantly inhibited carrageenan-induced paw edema at a 200 mg/kg dose, while 1, 2 and 5 also displayed anti-inflammatory activity against the PGE1-induced hind paw edema model. However, all the compounds showed no effect in the TPA-induced ear edema model. The compounds 1 and 2 also exhibited significant antinociceptive activity.

Screening for free radical scavenging and cell aggregation inhibitory activities by secondary metabolites from Turkish Verbascum species.[Pubmed:18069239]

Z Naturforsch C J Biosci. 2007 Sep-Oct;62(9-10):673-8.

Free radical scavenging and cell aggregation inhibitory activities of 36 secondary metabolites isolated from the methanolic extracts of Verbascum cilicicum Boiss., V. lasianthum Boiss. ex Bentham, V pterocalycinum var. mutense Hub.-Mor., and V. salviifolium Boiss. (Scrophulariaceae) were investigated. The isolated compounds, 6-O-vaniloyl ajugol (1), ilwensisaponin A (2), ilwensisaponin C (3), verbascoside (4), beta-Hydroxyacteoside (5), martynoside (6), poliumoside (7), forsythoside B (8), angoroside A (9), dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol-9-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (10), dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol-9'-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (11), apigenin 7-O-beta-glucopyranoside (12), luteolin 7-O-beta-glucopyranoside (13), luteolin 3'-O-beta-glucopyranoside (14) and chrysoeriol 7-O-beta-glucopyranoside (15), exhibited a dose-dependent inhibition of bioautographic and spectrophotometric DPPH activities. Verbascoside (4) was the most active (IC50 4.0 microg/ml) comparing it to vitamin C (IC50 4.4 microg/ml) to inhibit phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-induced peroxide-catalyzed oxidation of 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein (DCFH) by reactive oxygen species (ROS) within human promyelocytic HL-60 cells. Ilwensisaponin A (2) (MIC 6.9 microg/ml) showed moderate in vitro activity on lymphocyte-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1)/intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1)-mediated aggregation using the HL-60 cell line [positive control was cytochalasin B (MIC 2.3 microg/ml)]. None of the other compounds showed free radical scavenging and cell aggregation inhibitory activities.
