Cinnamic Acid Derivatives (cinnamic + acid_derivative)
Selected AbstractsStudies on Preparation and Fluorescent Properties of a Novel Photo-Sensitive Nanoparticle Composed of Europium Ion and Cinnamic Acid DerivativeMACROMOLECULAR CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS, Issue 23 2009Dongjian Shi Abstract A novel fluorescent and photo-sensitive nanoparticle was self-assembled from an europium-based random copolymer, europium coordinated poly(methylacrylic acid)- co -poly(cinnamyl acrylate) (PMCFA-Eu3+), which was synthesized from methylacrylic acid (MAA), and Eu3+ -cinnamyl acrylate derivative (CFA) by radical polymerization. DLS and TEM results indicated the formation of spherical nanoparticles with 120,nm in diameter. The PMCFA-Eu3+ complex showed stronger fluorescence than Eu3+, indicating the effective energy transferred from the ligand to Eu3+. Moreover, the photo-crosslinking of the cinnamate groups induced a decrease in the diameter and an increase in the fluorescent properties of the PMCFA-Eu3+ nanoparticles. This functional nanoparticle might be useful as a carrier and a fluorescence probe in biomedical and fluorescent fields. [source] Enzymatic Synthesis of Enantiopure ,- and ,-Amino Acids by Phenylalanine Aminomutase-Catalysed Amination of Cinnamic Acid DerivativesCHEMBIOCHEM, Issue 2 2009Bian Wu Abstract The phenylalanine aminomutase (PAM) from Taxus chinensis catalyses the conversion of ,-phenylalanine to ,-phenylalanine, an important step in the biosynthesis of the N -benzoyl phenylisoserinoyl side-chain of the anticancer drug taxol. Mechanistic studies on PAM have suggested that (E)-cinnamic acid is an intermediate in the mutase reaction and that it can be released from the enzyme's active site. Here we describe a novel synthetic strategy that is based on the finding that ring-substituted (E)-cinnamic acids can serve as a substrate in PAM-catalysed ammonia addition reactions for the biocatalytic production of several important ,-amino acids. The enzyme has a broad substrate range and a high enantioselectivity with cinnamic acid derivatives; this allows the synthesis of several non-natural aromatic ,- and ,-amino acids in excellent enantiomeric excess (ee >99,%). The internal 5-methylene-3,5-dihydroimidazol-4-one (MIO) cofactor is essential for the PAM-catalysed amination reactions. The regioselectivity of amination reactions was influenced by the nature of the ring substituent.

Lee ABSTRACT: The effectiveness of temperature, SO2, citric acid, and industrial juice-processing enzymes (n= 9) for producing extracts of blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum, cv. Rubel) and blueberry skins that are rich in anthocyanins and polyphenolics were evaluated individually and/or in combination. Enzyme treatment had little effect on total monomeric anthocyanins and on total phenolics recovery. Various combinations of heat, SO2, and citric acid yielded extracts with higher concentrations of ACY and TP than the control. The distribution of anthocyanins and polyphenolics in ,Rubel' was also investigated. Anthocyanins existed almost exclusively in the skins, and polyphenolics were mostly in the skins with lesser amounts in flesh and seeds. Skins were also highest in antioxidant activity. All portions contained the same individual anthocyanins but in varying amounts. Cinnamic acid derivatives and flavonol-glycosides were found in the skins and seeds, whereas the flesh contained only cinnamic acids. [source] The New Metabolite (S)-Cinnamoylphosphoramide from Streptomyces sp. and Its Total SynthesisEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 30 2008Melanie Quitschau Abstract The tunicate-associated strain Streptomyces sp. JP90 produces the unprecedented metabolite cinnamoylphosphoramide (1) among several other compounds. Structure elucidation was accomplished by NMR spectroscopic studies and efficient total synthesis. The absolute configuration at phosphorus was determined by synthesis of both enantiomers of 1 performing a resolution of the corresponding diastereomeric phosphoramides of L -phenylalanine ethyl ester. Unusual cinnamic acid derivative 1 represents the first bacterial organophosphoramide. As it matches the Schrader's formula for insecticidal organophosphates, its biological activity was investigated. A weak inhibition of acetylcholinesterase was observed in in vitro tests, and water-soluble analogues of 1 were prepared. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
