O-demethylation and sulfation of 7-methoxylated flavanones by Cunninghamella elegans.

چکیده
Metabolism of 7-O-methylnaringenin (sakuranetin) by Cunninghamella elegans NRRL 1392 yielded naringenin and naringenin-4'-sulfate. C. elegans also converted 5, 3', 4'-trihydroxy-7-methoxyflavanone into eriodictyol-4'-sulfate. Furthermore, incubation of 5, 4'-dihydroxy-7, 3'-dimethoxyflavanone with the same fungus gave homoeriodictyol (5, 7, 4'-trihydroxy-3'-methoxyflavanone) and homoeriodicytol-7-sulfate. The structures of the new metabolites were established by spectral analysis including 2D-NMR, HR-ESI-FT-MS beside hydrolysis by acid.

Relaxant effects of flavonoids in isolated guinea pig trachea and their structure-activity relationships.
The structure-activity relationships between flavonoids and their tracheal relaxant action are little known. In the present study, 26 natural and synthetic flavonoids, divided into the five classes of flavones, flavonols, flavanones, isoflavones, and chalcones, were tested, and their IC (50) values were determined. The IC (50) values of these five classes indicated that flavones were more poten...
متن کاملBioavailable flavonoids: cytochrome P450-mediated metabolism of methoxyflavones.
Methoxylated flavones were recently shown to be promising cancer chemopreventive agents. Their high metabolic stability compared with the hydroxylated analogs was shown in our laboratory using the human hepatic S9 fraction with cofactors for glucuronidation, sulfation, and oxidation. In the present study, the resistance of methoxylated flavones toward oxidative metabolism was investigated with ...
متن کاملBiotransformation of chlorpromazine and methdilazine by Cunninghamella elegans.
When tested as a microbial model for mammalian drug metabolism, the filamentous fungus Cunninghamella elegans metabolized chlorpromazine and methdilazine within 72 h. The metabolites were extracted by chloroform, separated by high-performance liquid chromatography, and characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance, mass, and UV spectroscopic analyses. The major metabolites of chlorpromazin...
متن کاملTransformation of amoxapine by Cunninghamella elegans.
We examined Cunninghamella elegans to determine its ability to transform amoxapine, a tricyclic antidepressant belonging to the dibenzoxazepine class of drugs. Approximately 57% of the exogenous amoxapine was metabolized to three metabolites that were isolated by high-performance liquid chromatography and were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry as 7-hydroxyamoxapine ...
متن کاملIdentification of a novel metabolite in phenanthrene metabolism by the fungus Cunninghamella elegans.
The metabolism of phenanthrene by the fungus Cunninghamella elegans was investigated. Kinetic experiments using [9-14C]phenanthrene showed that after 72 h, 53% of the total radioactivity was associated with a glucoside conjugate of 1-hydroxyphenanthrene (phenanthrene 1-O-beta-glucose). This metabolite was isolated by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and characterized by the...
