Cacao Bean Husk로부터 Glucosyltransferase 저해물질 구조결정

Structure Determination of Glucosyltransferase Inhibitors from Cacao Bean Husk

Cacao bean husk로부터 2종류의 2당체 flavan-3-ol을 분리하였고 $anisaldehyde-H_2SO_4$ 용액, $FeCl_3$ 및 TLC상에서 축합형 탄닌으로 확인되었다. 이들 2종류의 flavan-3-ol 화합물은 procyanidin B-1[epicatechin-$(4{\beta}{\rightarrow}8)$-catechin], procyanidin B-3[catechin-$(4{\alpha}{\rightarrow}8)$-catechin]로 기기분석에 의해 분자구조가 결정되었다. Procyanidin B-1은 0.3 mM에서 50% glucosyltransferase 저해효과가 관찰되었고 비경쟁적 저해작용기작을 보였으며 epicatechin을 함유한 화합물이 저해 효과가 높은 것으로 확인되었다.

For glucosyltransferase(GTase) inhibitors, two flavan-3-ols were isolated from Theobroma cacao beam husk. They showed positive reaction with $anisaldehyde-H_2SO_4$ solution, $FeCl_3$ to be confirmed as dimeric flavan-3-ols on TLC and were identified as procyanidin B-1 [(-)-epicatechin-$(4{\beta}{\rightarrow}8)$-catechin] and procyanidin B-3 [(+)-catechin-$(4{\beta}{\rightarrow}8)$-catechin by spectroscopic analysis. Their inhibitory effect on glucosyltranaferase activity was also investigated and procyanidin B-1 showed 50% inhibition at 0.3 mM. They inhibited on the glucosyltransferasa noncompetitively and dimeric flavan-3-ol containing (-)-epicatechin had higer inhibitory activity.
