Description

Phlorizin, an aryl beta-D-glucoside, is a natural product first isolated from the bark of apple trees. It is a light yellow powder with significant biological activities, including reducing blood sugar, improving memory, anti-allergy, and anti-cancer properties. Phlorizin is also known to inhibit sodium-glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1) and SGLT2, which play a role in glucose absorption in the small intestine and kidney, respectively.

Uses

Used in Food Industry:
Phlorizin is used as a food additive for its characteristic phenolic substance found in apples. It can be used as an index to distinguish the producers and qualities of apple juice. Additionally, it can promote the absorption and utilization of genistein, which inhibits the growth and metastasis of tumor cells, making it valuable in developing functional foods rich in phlorizin and genistein. Phlorizin is also a high sweet natural sweetener, suitable as an alternative food for diabetic patients. Furthermore, its oxidized products can be used as bright yellow dyes in the food processing industry, offering a natural alternative to synthetic pigments.
Used in Medicine:
Phlorizin is used in the development of drugs, often designed as a high molecular polymer, due to its lower intestinal absorption rate when hydrolyzed in the human body. It is particularly useful in the treatment of diabetes, as it reduces plasma glucose levels by blocking renal and intestinal glucose absorption through the inhibition of SGLT1 and SGLT2.
Used in Cosmetics:
Phlorizin is used in the cosmetics industry for its antioxidant activity and anti-aging function. The hydrolysate of phlorizin, phloretin, can competitively inhibit tyrosinase activity and interfere with the synthesis of melanin, making it an effective whitening agent with better results than many products currently on the market.

Summary

Phlorizin is the glucoside of phloretin. Its chemical name is 1- (2- (beta-D- glucopyranose oxygroup) -46- dihydroxy phenyl) -3- (4- hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone) acetone, which belongs to dihydrochlcone of flavonoid. Phloridzin mainly exists in root barks, stems, leaflets and fruit of the apple tree, it can also be found in small amounts in the plants such as compositae, leguminosae, fagaceae, ericaceae, liliaceae and so on. It has many important biological activities, such as reducing blood sugar, improving memory, anti-allergy, anticancer, etc., as well as potential use values in food, beauty and health care products and other industry.

Distribution

Phloridzin exists mainly in Malus of Rosace, it has been reported in plants such as compositae, leguminosae, fagaceae, ericaceae, liliaceae and so on, but their amount is very low. In recent years, phlorizin is also found in litchi peel, leaves of pyrus betulaefolia, cynomorium songaricum, etc. though with a small amount. However, there are plenty of phloridzin in Lilhocarpus Polystachys Rehd. In general, the Malus plants are the main source of glucoside and can be used as the raw material to extract glucoside. Phloridzin is rich in branches, leaflets and barks of the apple tree. It can The distribution of phloridzin in apple fruits concentrate in seeds and rinds. The apple branches, leaves, bark and so on contain a large number of glucoside. The distribution of glucoside in apple fruit is concentrated on seeds and pericarp.

Extraction method

Material crushing: The dried branches or leaves of apple trees are crushed into coarse powders (10~20 mesh or 20~30 mesh). Extraction: Put pulverized crude powders into round flask, add 70% methanol for reflux extraction for 3 times, add 6, 4 and 4BV liquid independently, keep for 1h each time and combine the extracted solutions; (three extracts are brown to tan respectively). Inspissation: The antioxidant (VC) is added into the combined extract according to 0.2% of the total weight. Methanol can be recovered by reduced pressure distillation at 60℃.( The outcome solution is brownish turbid liquid) Removing impurities: Add polymerization alumina according to 0.5% of weight into the recovered concentrated solution without alcohol, adjust pH value to 7.5 with calcium hydroxide, put in the conical flask, hold 30min at 60℃, obtain the liquor after filtration; (flocculent is generated at the bottom after adding polymerization alumina) Extraction: the extraction condensate is cooled, the ethyl acetate is extracted with 1 times the ethyl acetate 3 times and the ethyl acetate solution is obtained; (the solution is stratified rapidly). Concentration: the ethyl acetate extract is decompressed and refluxed, concentrated to 10: 1, and the concentrated solution is obtained. Purification: Dissolve the concentrated liquid with 40% methanol, filter, place the filtrate for 24h, get the crystallization after extraction filtration, obtain the phlorizin by prevailing pressure drying or reducing pressure drying. (yellow powder) The activated carbon is used to decolorize the crude products because its decolorization principle is physical adsorption without damage to the biological activity of the root bark. The activated carbon is dried in a vacuum drying box to be activated. Then the activated carbon is added into aqueous solutions of crude products. The supernatant liquid can be obtained after stir and filtration. The liquid is placed to crystalize under natural conditions and the white needle crystal occurs eventually.

Synthetic method

The precusor substance used to synthetize phlorizin is Malonyl-CoA and p-coumaroyl-CoA. Firstly, we use p-coumaroyl-CoA to generate 4-hydroxydihydrocinnamoyl-CoA by NADPH; then, phloretin is synthesized by Malonyl-CoA and 4-hydroxydihydrocinnamoyl-CoA under the action of tecatone synthetase; finally, phloridzin is generated by phloretin glucosylation. The overviews, extraction methods and synthesis methods of the phlorizin are compiled by Shi yan of lookchem. (2015-12-02)

Biological activity

Hypoglycemic effect Diabetes is a major disease that threatens human health and its typical symptom is hyperglycemia. Now the main drugs for the treatment of diabetes include traditional sulfonylurea, metformin and some new hypoglycemic agents such as rosiglitazone, pioglitazone, etc. The mechanisms of action are mostly used to promote insulin secretion or increase insulin sensitivity. A large number of studies have shown that phlorizin has the effect of reducing fasting blood glucose. The mechanism of decreasing glucose is competitively inhibiting the transport of glucose molecules on glucose transporters (SGLTs and GLUTs). Antioxidation Phlorizin has obvious protective effects on oxidative damage induced by high-fat diet in drosophila, as well as strong antioxidant effect, and enhance the activity of SOD and CAT to prolong life spans of drosophila significantly. The physiological relationship with plants. Phlorizin is closely related to the growth and stress resistance and other physiological phenomena of plants. It can resist various pathogenic bacterias, such as apple scab, fire blight, etc. However, it may inhibit the growth of some plants. Low concentration of phlorizin can promote the growth of Pingyi sweet tea seedlings, but high concentration will cause plant replant disorders. Phlorizin can promote the regeneration of papaya embryos and stimulate the root growth particularly. Therefore, as a plant growth regulator, its dosage is the key factor. Other activities In addition to antidiabetics, antioxidant and other biological activities, phlorizin has effects of anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and so on.

Molecular and Structural Characterization of a Promiscuous C-Glycosyltransferase from Trollius chinensis

Herein, the catalytic promiscuity of TcCGT1, a new C-glycosyltransferase (CGT) from the medicinal plant Trollius chinensis is explored. TcCGT1 could efficiently and regio-specifically catalyze the 8-C-glycosylation of 36 flavones and other flavonoids and could also catalyze the O-glycosylation of diverse phenolics. The crystal structure of TcCGT1 in complex with uridine diphosphate was determined at 1.85 ? resolution. Molecular docking revealed a new model for the catalytic mechanism of TcCGT1, which is initiated by the spontaneous deprotonation of the substrate. The spacious binding pocket explains the substrate promiscuity, and the binding pose of the substrate determines C- or O-glycosylation activity. Site-directed mutagenesis at two residues (I94E and G284K) switched C- to O-glycosylation. TcCGT1 is the first plant CGT with a crystal structure and the first flavone 8-C-glycosyltransferase described. This provides a basis for designing efficient glycosylation biocatalysts.

Towards the synthesis of glycosylated dihydrochalcone natural products using glycosyltransferase-catalysed cascade reactions

Regioselective O-β-D-glucosylation of flavonoid core structures is used in plants to create diverse natural products. Their prospective application as functional food and pharmaceutical ingredients makes flavonoid glucosides interesting targets for chemical synthesis, but selective instalment of a glucosyl group requires elaborate synthetic procedures. We report glycosyltransferase-catalysed cascade reactions for single-step highly efficient O-β-D-glucosylation of two major dihydrochalcones (phloretin, davidigenin) and demonstrate their use for the preparation of phlorizin (phloretin 2′-O-β-d-glucoside) and two first-time synthesised natural products, davidioside and confusoside, obtained through selective 2′- and 4′-O-β-d-glucosylation of the dihydroxyphenyl moiety in davidigenin, respectively. Parallel biocatalytic cascades were established by coupling uridine 5′-diphosphate (UDP)-glucose dependent synthetic glucosylations catalysed by herein identified dedicated O-glycosyltransferases (OGTs) to UDP dependent conversion of sucrose by sucrose synthase (SuSy; from soybean). The SuSy reaction served not only to regenerate the UDP-glucose donor substrate for OGT (up to 9 times), but also to overcome thermodynamic restrictions on dihydrochalcone β-d-glucoside formation (up to 20% conversion and yield enhancement). Using conditions optimised for overall coupled enzyme activity, target 2′-O- or 4′-O-β-d-glucoside was obtained in ≥88% yield from reactions consisting of 5 mM dihydrochalcone acceptor, 100 mM sucrose, and 0.5 mM UDP. Davidioside and confusoside were isolated and their proposed chemical structures confirmed by NMR. OGT-SuSy cascade transformations present a green chemistry approach for efficient glucosylation in natural products synthesis. the Partner Organisations 2014.
