Glycosylation of (+)-ε-viniferin was investigated using glucosyltransferase from Phytolacca americana ( PaGT3) as a biocatalyst. (+)-ε-Viniferin was converted by PaGT3 into its 4b- and 13b-β-D-glucosides, the inhibitory activities on histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells of which were higher than that of (+)-ε-viniferin.

The biotransformation of daidzein and its diacetate was investigated using cultured plant cells of Phytolacca americana as biocatalysts. Daidzein was glucosylated to the corresponding 7- O-β-D-glucoside. On the other hand, daidzein diacetate was hydrolyzed to daidzein, which was further glucosylated to 7- O-β-D-glucoside with much higher yield in comparison with the biotransformation of daidzein. Daidzein 7- O-β-D-glucoside showed higher inhibitory activity for histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells than daidzein.

Curcumin 4‘- O-glucooligosaccharides were synthesized by a two step-enzymatic method using almond β-glucosidase and cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase). Curcumin was glucosylated to curcumin 4‘- O-β-D-glucopyranoside by almond β-glucosidase in 19% yield. Curcumin 4‘- O-β-D-glucopyranoside was converted into curcumin 4‘- O-β-glucooligosaccharides, i.e. 4‘- O-β-maltoside (51%) and 4‘- O-β-maltotrioside (25%), by further CGTase-catalyzed glycosylation. Curcumin 4‘- O-β-glycosides showed suppressive action on IgE antibody formation and inhibitory effects on histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells.
