A glycosyltransferase, YjiC, from Bacillus licheniformis has been used for the modification of the commercially available isoflavonoids genistein, daidzein, biochanin A and formononetin. The in vitro glycosylation reaction, using UDP-${\alpha}$-D-glucose as a donor for the glucose moiety and aforementioned four acceptor molecules, showed the prominent glycosylation at 4' and 7 hydroxyl groups, but not at the $5^{th}$ hydroxyl group of the A-ring, resulting in the production of genistein 4'-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside, genistein 7-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside (genistin), genistein 4',7-O-${\beta}$-D-diglucoside, biochanin A-7-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside (sissotrin), daidzein 4'-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside, daidzein 7-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside (daidzin), daidzein 4', 7-O-${\beta}$-D-diglucoside, and formononetin 7-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside (ononin). The structures of all the products were elucidated using high performance liquid chromatography-photo diode array and high resolution quadrupole time-of-flight electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR QTOF-ESI/MS) analysis, and were compared with commercially available standard compounds. Significantly higher bioconversion rates of all four isoflavonoids was observed in both in vitro as well as in vivo bioconversion reactions. The in vivo fermentation of the isoflavonoids by applying engineered E. coli $BL21(DE3)/{\Delta}pgi{\Delta}zwf{\Delta}ushA$ overexpressing phosphoglucomutase (pgm) and glucose 1-phosphate uridyltransferase (galU), along with YjiC, found more than 60% average conversion of $200{\mu}M$ of supplemented isoflavonoids, without any additional UDP-${\alpha}$-D-glucose added in fermentation medium, which could be very beneficial to large scale industrial production of isoflavonoid glucosides.

Seven flavonoids were isolated from the flower of Clerodendrum trichotomum. Their structures were identified as apigenin (1), genistein (2), chrysoeriol (3), genistein 7-O-glucoside (4), kaempferol 3-O-glucoside (5), isorhamnetin 3-O-glucoside (6) and apigenin 7-O-glucoside (7) on the basis of spectral data. These compounds were isolated from C. trichotomum for the first time. The antioxidant activity of compounds 1-7 were evaluated by the ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) assay, and the ORAC values were expressed as relative trolox equivalent. All isolated compounds exhibited antioxidant activity.

Anti-lipid peroxidative activity and phytochemical study on the leaves of Glycine max Meer. were investigated. The methanol extract of the leaves of G. max reduced the level of lipid peroxides induced by bromobenzene in vitro. From the leaves of this plant, apigenin, genistein $7-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$, kaempferol $3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$, and kaempferol 3-O-sophoroside were isolated and characterized by spectral data.

In this study, chemical information on a total of 20 individual compounds was constructed to identify isoflavones from the previous reports related with used parts(seeds, leaves, stems, pods) and products of soybean(Glycine max L.). Through constructed library and UPLC-DAD-QToF/MS analysis, a total of 19 individual isoflavones including aglycones, glucosides, acetylglucosides and malonylglucosides as major compounds was identified and quantified from 14 selected soybean seeds. Among them, genistein 7-O-(2"-O-apiosyl)glucoside and genistein 7-O-(6"-O-apiosyl)glucoside(ambocin) were identified tentatively as novel compounds in soybean seeds. Besides, among malonylglucosides, glycitein 4'-O-(6"-O-malonyl)glucoside was estimated for the first time. Total isoflavone contents were distributed from 240.21 to 445.21(mg/100 g, dry matter) and 7-O-6"-O-malonylglucosides were composed of 77.8% on total isoflavone as well as genistein derivatives were confirmed as major class. It was considered importantly that the development of isoflavone-rich varieties was necessary to strengthen their effects such as anti-inflammation, anti-cancer and menopause mitigation. The qualitative and quantitative data presented precisely in this study could be help to select and breed isoflavone-rich varieties. Furthermore, their basic isoflavone profile is expected to be applied to estimate the change of isoflavone conjugates on bioavailability after soy food supplements.

Microbial UDP-glycosyltransferases can convert many small lipophilic compounds into glycons using uridine-diphosphate-activated sugars. The glycosylation of flavonoids affects solubility, stability, and bioavailability. The gene encoding the UDP-glycosyltransferase from Bacillus cereus, BcGT-3, was cloned by PCR and sequenced. BcGT-3 was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) with a glutathione S-transferase tag and purified using a glutathione S-transferase affinity column. BcGT-3 was tested for activity on several substrates including genistein, kaempferol, luteolin, naringenin, and quercetin. Flavonols were the best substrates for BcGT-3. The enzyme dominantly glycosylated the 3-hydroxyl group, but the 7-hydroxyl group was glycosylated when the 3-hydroxyl group was not available. The kaempferol reaction products were identified as kaempferol-3-O-glucoside and kaempferol-3,7-O-diglucoside. Kaempferol was the most effective substrate tested. Based on HPLC, LC/MS, and NMR analyses of the reaction products, we conclude that BcGT-3 can be used for the synthesis of kaempferol 3,7-O-diglucose.

Phytochemical investigation of the stems of Pueraria lobata (Wild) Ohwi (Leguminosae), led to the isolation of eighteen known compounds: ${\beta}$-amyrone (1), (+)-pinoresinol (2), (+)-syringaresinol (3) $(+)-syringaresinol-O-{\beta}-{\small{D}}-glucoside$ (4), (+)-lariciresinol (5), (-)-tuberosin (6), naringenin (7), liquiritigenin (8), isoliquiritigenin (9) genistein (10), daidzein (11) daidzin (12) daidzein 4',7-diglucoside (13) 2,4,4'-trihydroxy deoxybenzoin (14), S-(+)-1-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-(4-hydroxy-2-methoxy-phenyl)propan-2-one (15), methyl $2-O-{\beta}-{\small{D}}-glucopyranosylbenzoate$ (16), pyromeconic acid $3-O-{\beta}-{\small{D}}-glucopyranoside$ 6'- (O-4''-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoate) (17), and allantion (18). The chemical structures of these compounds were elucidated from spectroscopic data and by comparison of those data with previously published results. The effects of isolated compounds on mushroom tyrosinase enzymatic activity were screened. The results indicated that, chloroform extract of P. lobata stems turned out to be having tyrosinase inhibitory effect, and only compounds 5, 8, 9, and 11 showed enzyme inhibitory activity, with $IC_{50}$ values of $21.49{\pm}4.44$, $25.24{\pm}6.79$, $4.85{\pm}2.29$, and $17.50{\pm}1.29{\mu}M$, respectively, in comparison with these of positive control, kojic acid ($IC_{50}\;12.28{\pm}2.72{\mu}M$). The results suggest that P. lobata stems extract as well as its chemical components may represent as potential candidates for tyrosinase inhibitors.

가래나무(J. mandchurica), 구지뽕나무(C. tricuspidata), 감태나무(L. glauca)는 최근 항암효과가 있다고 보고되고 있는 수목자원이다. 한방에서는 가래나무 수피를 말린 것을 추목피라하며, 소염성 수렴과 해열, 눈을 맑게 하는 등의 효능이 있어 장염, 이질, 설사, 눈이 충혈하고 붓는 통증 등에 처방하고 있으며, 주요성분으로 naphthoquinones, naphthalenyl glucosides, ${\alpha}$-tertalonyl glucopyranosides, diarylheptanoyl glucopyranosides, flavonoids 등의 페놀성 화합물들이 보고되었다. 구지뽕나무는 한방에서 자양, 강장의 효능이 있으며, 신체허약증, 정력 감퇴, 불면증, 시력감퇴 등에 효과가 크며, 부인병 치료와 항암치료에도 처방되고 있다. 구지뽕나무의 주요 성분으로 근피에서 새로운 iso-prenylated xanthone 화합물인 cudraxanthone A, B, C, D, H, I, J 및 K 그리고 isoprenylated flavone 화합물인 cudraflavone A, B cycloartocarpesin, populnin, quercimetrin 등이 알려졌으며, 목부에서는 ${\beta}$-sitosterol glucoside, arthocarpesin, norarthoca-rpetin, 5-O-methyl genistein 등이 분리되어졌다. flavonoid, morin, kaempherol-7-giucoside, poupulnin, stachydrine, proline, glutamicaoid, arginine, asparaginic acid 등의 화합물들이 보고되었다. 또한, 감태나무는 한방에서 열매를 산호초라 하며, 염증을 삭히며 통증을 없애는 효능이 있어, 풍습성 관절염이나 신경통, 손발이 저린 곳, 관절통과 근육통, 배가 차갑고 아픈 곳, 여성의 산후통과 뼈가 허약한 곳이나 허리와 무릎이 아픈 곳에 처방하고 있다. 감태나무의 주요 성분으로 지방유, 정유, cineol, caryophyllene bornylacttate, camphene pinene, limonene 등의 화합물들이 보고되었다. 본 연구는 항암효과가 알려진 가래나무, 구지뽕나무, 감태나무를 느타리버섯의 새로운 톱밥배지자원으로서 활용하여 이들 자원의 함유성분이 담자균류인 느타리버섯에 의해 분해되거나 다른 유도체화합물로 이행되는지를 검토하였다. 3종의 수목자원의 톱밥배지에서 재배한 느타리버섯과 공시재료를 80% 메탄올로 추출하여 조추출물을 조제하고 이를 액체배지에 첨가하여 생육한 느타리버섯 균사체를 HPLC분석 시료로 사용하였다. HPLC를 이용하여 공시재료들의 함유성분들의 크로마토그래피 패턴을 비교 분석한 결과, 가래나무, 구지뽕나무, 감태나무 톱밥배지에서 생육한 느타리버섯은 각각의 수목자원 톱밥배지속의 함유성분을 분해 또는 다른 유도체화합물로 이행시키지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 수목자원 추출물을 첨가하여 액상배지에서도 느타리버섯 균사체가 이들 추출물의 성분을 분해 또는 다른 유도체화합물로의 이행은 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 이들 추출물은 느타리버섯 균사체의 생육에 영향을 주어 느타리버섯 균사체의 2차대사산물의 생성 및 억제를 하고 있음을 나타냈다.
