Abstract Protein preparations from cotyledons of Raphanus sativus transfer the sinapoyl moiety of 1 -sinapoylglucose to L-malate to form sinapoyl-L-malate. To our knowledge this is the first time that this type of reaction has been found to be involved in phenylpropanoid depside formation. Most acylation reactions have so far been demonstrated to depend on acyl-CoAs and only one example is known describing 1-O-acyl sugar derivatives as acyl donors.

Abstract Protein extracts from seedlings of Raphanus sativus catalyze the transfer of the glucosyl moiety of UDP-glucose to the carboxyl group of phenolic acids. Enzymatic activity was determined spectrophotometrically by measuring the increase in absorbance at 360 nm and/or by the aid of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). From 12 phenolic acids tested as acceptors, sinapic acid was by far the best substrate. The glucosyltransfer to sinapic acid has a pH optimum near 7 and requires as SH group for activity, p-Chloromercuribenzoate (PCMB) inhibits activity, which can be restored by the addition of dithiothreitol (DTT). The formation of 1-sinapoylglucose was found to be a reversible reaction, since the addition of UDP results in a breakdown of the ester.

Lecitase™ Ultra was immobilized on four different supports and tested for the first time as the biocatalyst in the kinetic resolution of racemic allyl alcohols with the (E)-4-arylbut-3-en-2-ol system in the process of transesterification. The most effective biocatalyst turned out to be the enzyme immobilized on agarose activated with cyanogen bromide (LU-CNBr). The best results (E > 200, ees and eep = 95–99%) were obtained for (E)-4-phenylbut-3-en-2-ol and its analog with a 2,5-dimethylphenyl ring whereas the lowest ee of kinetic resolution products (90%) was achieved for the substrate with a 4-methoxyphenyl substituent. For all substrates, (R)-enantiomers were esterified faster than their (S)-antipodes. The results showed that LU-CNBr is a versatile biocatalyst, showing high activity and enantioselectivity in a wide range of organic solvents in the presence of commonly used acyl donors. High operational stability of LU-CNBr allows it to be reused in three subsequent reaction cycles without negative effects on the efficiency and enantioselectivity of transesterification. This biocatalyst can become attractive to the commercial lipases in the process of the kinetic resolution of allyl alcohols.

This work explores for the first time the enzymatic synthesis of poly(butylene-co-ε-caprolactone) (PBSCL) copolyesters in bulk using commercially available monomers (dimethyl succinate (DMS), 1,4-butanediol (BD), and ε-caprolactone (CL)). A preliminary kinetic study was carried out which demonstrated the higher reactivity of DMS over CL in the condensation/ring opening polymerization reaction, catalyzed by Candida antarctica lipase B. PBSCL copolyesters were obtained with high molecular weights and a random microstructure, as determined by 13C NMR. They were thermally stable up to 300 °C, with thermal stability increasing with the content of CL in the copolyester. All of them were semicrystalline, with melting temperatures and enthalpies decreasing up to the eutectic point observed at intermediate compositions, and glass transition temperatures decreasing with the content of CL in the copolyester. The use of CALB provided copolyesters free from toxic metallic catalyst, which is very useful if the polymer is intended to be used for biomedical applications.

Objective: Cruciferous herb plant Weixian Radish (Raphanus Sativus L.), also known as Lai Fu, is a kind of popularly eatable fruit and vegetable. The present paper describes the isolation and characterization of two compounds isolated from Weixian Radish. Methods: The methanol extraction was separated by column chromatography. Obtained compounds were identified with physical and chemical properties and NMR. Results: Two compounds were isolated from the extract of Raphanus Sativus L. for the first time and their structures were identified as β-sitosterol and 1-O-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-(2S, 3S, 4R, 8E)-2-[(2'R)-2'-hydroxyltetracos-15'-enoylamino]-8-octa-decene-1, 3, 4-triol, which have many biologically active effects.
