Many plant secondary metabolites exhibit some degree of biological activity in humans. It is a common observation that individual plant-derived compounds in vivo are present in the nanomolar concentration range at which they usually fail to display measurable activity in vitro. While it is debatable that compounds detected in plasma are not the key effectors of bioactivity, an alternative hypothesis may take into consideration that measurable concentrations also reside in compartments other than plasma. We analysed the binding of constituents and the metabolite δ-(3,4-dihydroxy-phenyl)-γ-valerolactone (M1), that had been previously detected in plasma samples of human consumers of pine bark extract Pycnogenol, to human erythrocytes. We found that caffeic acid, taxifolin, and ferulic acid passively bind to red blood cells, but only the bioactive metabolite M1 revealed pronounced accumulation. The partitioning of M1 into erythrocytes was significantly diminished at higher concentrations of M1 and in the presence of glucose, suggesting a facilitated transport of M1 via GLUT-1 transporter. This concept was further supported by structural similarities between the natural substrate α-D-glucose and the S-isomer of M1. After cellular uptake, M1 underwent further metabolism by conjugation with glutathione. We present strong indication for a transporter-mediated accumulation of a flavonoid metabolite in human erythrocytes and subsequent formation of a novel glutathione adduct. The physiologic role of the adduct remains to be elucidated.
Background: Melatonin (MLT) has many health implications, therefore it is of valuable importance to develop specific analytical methods for determination of MLT in the presence of its main contaminant, N-{2-[1-({3-[2-(acetylamino)ethyl]-5-methoxy-1H-indol-2-yl}methyl)-5-methoxy-1H-indol-3-yl]ethyl}acetamide (10). For development of these analytical methods, compound 10 had to be prepared in an adequate amount. Results: Compound 10 was synthesized in six steps starting from 5-methoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (1). Analytical performance of the proposed spectrofluorimetric methods was statistically validated with respect to linearity, accuracy, precision and specificity. The proposed methods were successfully applied for the assay of MLT in laboratory prepared mixtures containing up to 60 % of compound 10 and in commercial MLT tablets with recoveries not less than 99.00 %. No interference was observed from common pharmaceutical additives and the results were favorably compared with those obtained by a reference method. Conclusions: This work describes simple, sensitive, and reliable second derivative spectrofluorimetric method in addition to two multivariate calibration methods, principal component regression (PCR) and partial least square (PLS), for the determination of MLT in the presence of compound 10.
The functional role of human gut microbiota has attracted substantial interest and recent research has uncovered various aspects of the interplay between the complex communities of microorganisms colonizing the intestine and their hosts’ health. The present review focuses on nutrition-derived bioactive metabolites produced by gut microbiota with potential beneficial effects upon human health. Thereby, the emphasis is on newly generated bacterial metabolites that are not concomitantly present at higher amounts in dietary sources and that have been previously detected in human blood samples. Since a multitude of different substances is generated by gut microbes primarily those metabolites which exert a more pronounced activity than their immediate precursor compound are discussed here. Specifically, the in vitro and in vivo nutridynamics as well as the nutrikinetics of equol, enterolactone / enterodiol, urolithins, 8-prenylnaringenin, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and 5-(3’,4’-dihydroxyphenyl)-g-valerolactone, the short-chain fatty acids butyrate, propionate and acetate, and indole-3-propionic acid are reviewed. Though the metabolites’ mechanism of action and the influence of health conditions on metabolite production are not always fully understood yet, there are many reasons to direct the attention to “gut health”. It could offer new options for preventing or treating a variety of disease states and nutrition-derived microbial products might inspire future drug development.

The 2-halo imidoyl chlorides 7 are obtained from the amide 5 and the 2-halo amides 6 by the action of phosphorus pentachloride and thionyl chloride, respectively. Non-racemic (S)-6a is converted into 7a which is racemic, however. The reaction of Lawesson's reagent with 6a furnishes the diastereomeric 1,3.2-thiazaphospholidine derivatives 15. Treatment of (S)-6a (98% eel with methyl triflate affords 2-chloro imidate 8 (95% eel which reacts with methanamine in the presence of methanammonium chloride to yield the 2-chloro amidine (S)-9a (90% eel. The 2-halo imidoyl halides 7a and b react with methanamine to produce the 2-halo amidines 9a and b. - Strong bases, e.g. potassium tert-butoxide or sodium hydride in the presence of catalytic amounts of tertbutyl alcohol, eliminate hydrogen chloride or bromide from the 2-halo amidines 9a and band (S)-9a to yield mixtures of Recently, we demonstrated that the formation of the chiral non-racemic aziridinone (R)-2 from the a-chloro amide (5)-1 by base-promoted dehydrochlorination[2) as well as the nucleophilic cleavage of the N-C(3) bond of (R)_2[3,4) occur with inversion of configuration, thus excluding the intervention of achiral (acyclic) intermediates. In the temperature range of lOO-170°C, however, slow racemization accompanies the thermolysis of (R)-2 and indicates the existence of an achiral or a racemic transient, e. g. (M)-3 + (P)-3. Indeed, high-level quantum-chemical calculations reveal that an activation energy of (170 ± 25) kJmol- 1 is required for the unimolecular ring opening of the parent aziridinone which affords a species of high diradical character[41. Subsequently, the unstable N-phenylaziridinone invoked in the decomposition of the (5)-2-bromopropananilide anion was shown to react with tert-butylamine or dimethylformamide with inversion of configuration at C(3)[51. Thus, the stereochemical evidence in the series of 3-alkylaziridinones excludes achiral (acyclic) aziridinone isomers as intermediates at low tempera tures [6J. Similar stereochemical studies are still missing in the related series of iminoaziridines. Therefore, we report on the synthesis and thermolysis of the diastereomeric chiral racemic (E)- and (Z)-(4)[71 and non-racemic iminoaziridines (E,R)- and (Z,R)-4. Racemic Iminoaziridines (E)- and (Z)-4 Though a photochemical route to the iminoaziridines (E)- and (Z)-4 has been devised more recently, i. e. the phothe 2-iminoaziridines (E)- and (Z)-4, and (E,R)- and (Z.R)-4 (83% eel, respectively. The 1.3-elimination of hydrogen bromide from 9b is diastereoselective at -30 to -40°C [(E)-4:(Z)-4 = <10:>90). The diastereomers equilibrate at 36°C with (kEZ + k ZE) = (5.92 ± 0.08) . 10-5 S-I (K = kEZlkzE = 0.428 ± 0.013). - The thermolysis of (E)- and (Z)-4 in [D61benzene solution yields the imine 16 and methyl isocyanide (17). The decomposition follows the first-order rate law. The following Arrhenius and Eyring parameters are calculated from five rate constants obtained in the temperature range of 70-110°C: Ea = (115.2 ± 0.4) kJmol-t, IgA = (12.06 ± 0.28), AH* = (112.1 ± 0.4) kJmol- l , AS'" = (-23.9 ± 0.7) JK-I mol-I, AGj73K = 121 kJmol-1 . The enantiomeric excess of the surviving fraction of (E,R)- and (Z.R)-4 is unchanged after two half-lives at 80°C.
A route to 2S,5S-and 2R,5S-hydroxypipecolic acid is presented, starting with the enantiopure 5S-5-hydroxy-piperidone 7. The key step of this reaction sequence is the chemoselsctive methylenation of the amide carbonyl group of 8 with dimethyltitanocene 9 to 10. The transformation of the exocyclic enecarbamate double bond to the carboxylic acid group is best accomplished via hydroboration/oxidation to the alcohol 11a,b. Separation and oxidation of the dlastereomers 11a,b, to 148. and 14b, and hydrolysis furnishes the diastereomeric pipecolic acids 15a and 15b in enantiopure form.
