Enzymatic Synthesis of α-Glucosyl-Baicalin through Transglucosylation via Cyclodextrin Glucanotransferase in Water

Baicalin is a biologically active flavone glucuronide with poor water solubility that can be enhanced via glucosylation. In this study, the transglucosylation of baicalin was successfully achieved with CGTases from <i>Thermoanaerobacter</i> sp. and <i>Bacillus macerans</i> us...

description Baicalin is a biologically active flavone glucuronide with poor water solubility that can be enhanced via glucosylation. In this study, the transglucosylation of baicalin was successfully achieved with CGTases from <i>Thermoanaerobacter</i> sp. and <i>Bacillus macerans</i> using α-cyclodextrin as a glucosyl donor. The synthesis of baicalin glucosides was optimized with CGTase from <i>Thermoanaerobacter</i> sp. Enzymatically modified baicalin derivatives were α-glucosylated with 1 to 17 glucose moieties. The two main glucosides were identified as Baicalein-7-<i>O</i>-α-D-Glucuronidyl-(1→4′)-<i>O</i>-α-D-Glucopyranoside (BG<sub>1</sub>) and Baicalein-7-<i>O</i>-α-D-Glucuronidyl-(1→4′)-<i>O</i>-α-D-Maltoside (BG<sub>2</sub>), thereby confirming recent findings reporting that glucuronyl groups are acceptors of this CGTase. Optimized conditions allowed for the attainment of yields above 85% (with a total glucoside content higher than 30 mM). BG<sub>1</sub> and BG<sub>2</sub> were purified via centrifugal partition chromatography after an enrichment through deglucosylation with amyloglucosidase. Transglucosylation increased the water solubility of BG<sub>1</sub> by a factor of 188 in comparison to that of baicalin (molar concentrations), while the same value for BG<sub>2</sub> was increased by a factor of 320. Finally, BG<sub>1</sub> and BG<sub>2</sub> were evaluated using antioxidant and anti-glycation assays. Both glucosides presented antioxidant and anti-glycation properties in the same order of magnitude as that of baicalin, thereby indicating their potential biological activity.
