Regiospecific 7-O-prenylation of anthocyanins by a fungal prenyltransferase.
2021
Abstract Anthocyanins are a type of well-known natural flavonoids for their various beneficial health effects. However, prenylated anthocyanins are not discovered in nature although prenylation is believed to generally enhance the biological accessibility of flavonoids. In this article, we demonstrate the first example for prenylation of anthocyanins. A chemo-enzymatic approach was achieved for the synthesis of a series of 7-O-prenylated anthocyanins, using the fungal prenyltransferase CdpC3PT from Neosartorya fischeri.
