Abstract
Polyphenolic compounds (such as quercetin and resveratrol) possess potential medicinal values due to their various bioactivities, but poor water solubility hinders their health benefits to humankind. Glycosylation is a well-known post-modification method to biosynthesize natural product glycosides with improved hydrophilicity. Glycosylation has profound effects on decreasing toxicity, increasing bioavailability and stability, together with changing bioactivity of polyphenolic compounds. Therefore, polyphenolic glycosides can be used as food additives, therapeutics, and nutraceuticals. Engineered biosynthesis provides an environmentally friendly and cost-effective approach to generate polyphenolic glycosides through the use of various glycosyltransferases (GTs) and sugar biosynthetic enzymes. GTs transfer the sugar moieties from nucleotide-activated diphosphate sugar (NDP-sugar) donors to sugar acceptors such as polyphenolic compounds. In this review, we systematically review and summarize the representative polyphenolic O-glycosides with various bioactivities and their engineered biosynthesis in microbes with different biotechnological strategies. We also review the major routes towards NDP-sugar formation in microbes, which is significant for producing unusual or novel glycosides. Finally, we discuss the trends in NDP-sugar based glycosylation research to promote the development of prodrugs that positively impact human health and wellness.

Phenolic C-glycoside synthesis using microbial systems. Curr Opin Biotechnol 2022; 78:102827. [PMID: 36308986 DOI: 10.1016/j.copbio.2022.102827] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2022] [Revised: 08/21/2022] [Accepted: 09/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Plants produce different types of phenolic compounds. The majority of these compounds are glycosylated. Phenolic O-glycosides are also common. Recently, C-glycosylation of phenolic compounds has received attention because of the biological importance of phenolic C-glycosides. To date, three classes of C-glycosyltransferases (CGTs) have been characterized based on the type of sugar acceptor: flavonoid CGT, coumarin CGT, and xanthone CGT. Phylogenetic analysis of glycosyltransferases has revealed that CGTs form a distinct class that is clearly different from that of O-glycosyltransferases. The characterized CGTs have been introduced into microbial systems to synthesize phenolic C-glycosides. Here, we review recent progress in the development of CGTs and their application in the synthesis of phenolic C-glycosides using microbial systems.

Abstract
Two new isoflavone glucosides, 3'-methoxyneopuerarin A (1) and 3'-methoxyneopuerarin B (2), together with nine known isoflavones including puerarin (3), neopuerarin A (4), neopuerarin B (5), daidzin (6), daidzein (7), 3'-methoxypuerarin (PG-3) (8), puerarin xyloside (9), mirificin (10), 3'-hydroxypuerarin (11) were isolated from the water extraction of the dried roots of Pueraria lobata (Willd.) Ohwi. Their structures were elucidated by the means of spectroscopic and chromatographic analysis methods. All compounds were evaluated for their hepatoprotective activity on HepG2 cells. All of them showed statistically significant hepatoprotective effect.
