Structure Elucidation and Complete NMR Spectral Assignments of Glucosylated Saponins of Cantalasaponin I 2012
Structure Elucidation and Complete NMR Spectral Assignments of Glucosylated Saponins of Cantalasaponin I 2012
Introduction
Toruzyme 3.0 L, a kind of cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase),
is an enzyme, which is capable of catalyzing intramolecular and
intermolecular transglycosylations, as well as hydrolyzation of starch
and cyclodextrin.[1,2] CGTase has been used in the glucosylation of
natural products, such as hesperidin, hydroquinone and rutin.[3]
Cantalasaponin I, a spirostanoside from Agave sisalanta Perrine,
was reported to be able to inhibit the J TC226 cancer cells.[4,5] To
synthesize steroidal saponins with novel sugar chains for further
pharmacological research and to improve their poor solubility,
cantalasaponin I was employed as substrates to be glucosylated
by Toruzyme 3.0 L, and ve new glucosylated products were
isolated and identied. This paper reports the purication and identication of ve glucosylated products of cantalasaponin I (Fig. 1).

Experimental
General
HPLC was performed using Waters 2695 Alliance Separations
Module; Empower Pro. Detector: Alltech ELSD 2000, temperature:
100 C, gas ow: 2.4 L/min; Column: ODS (5 mm, 250 4.6 mm,
YMC, Japan); FABMS was measured on a Micromass Zabspec,
Biotransformation of cantalasaponin I
Cantalasaponin I (900 mg) and dextrin (4500 mg) were dissolved
in 900 ml of 70% methanolwater, 4.5 ml of Toruzyme solution
were added to the substrate solution and allowed to react at
50 1 C for 24 h. The reaction mixtures were boiled to stop
the reaction.
Purication of converted products
NMR spectra
NMR spectra were recorded on Varian UNITYINOVA 600 spectrometer (599.8 MHz for 1H NMR and 150.8 MHz for 13C NMR) instrument in pyridine-d5 (1H, d 8.71, 7.55, 7.19 ppm; 13C, d 149.9,
135.5, 123.5 ppm) at 300 k. The chemical shifts were given in d
(ppm) with tetramethylsilane as an internal standard. All
compounds were carried out with the following parameters: 1H
NMR spectrum: spectral width 12 000 Hz, acquisition time 2.67 s,
relaxation delay 3.0 s and digital resolution 0.18 Hz/pt. 13C NMR
spectrum: spectral width 40 000 Hz, acquisition time 0.80 s, relaxation delay 1.0 s and digital resolution 0.61 Hz/pt. COSY spectrum:
spectral width 6000 Hz, acquisition time 0.17 s, FT size
2048 2048, relaxation delay 1.5 s. HSQC spectrum: spectral
width of the proton dimension 5800 Hz, spectral width of the carbon dimension 28 000 Hz, relaxation delay 1.0 s, data points
1024 128 complex points, data matrix for FT was 2048 1024
complex point, before FT, the data points of F1 were linear
predicted to 256. HMBC spectrum: spectral width of the proton
dimension 5800 Hz, spectral width of the carbon dimension
34 000 Hz, relaxation delay 1.0 s, data points for proton and
carbon were set as 1024 256 complex points, data for carbon
were linear predicted to 512 before FT, FT data matrix was
2048 1024 complex points. HSQC-TOCSY spectrum: spectral
width of the proton dimension 5800 Hz, spectral width of the
carbon dimension 28 000 Hz, data points for proton and carbon
were set as 1024 256 complex points, data points of F1 linear
predicated to 512, and mixing time was set at 80 ms.
Plant material
The material was collected from Hainan province, China, in August 2005 and was identied as Agave sisalanta by Prof. Jianmei Huang. A voucher specimen (No. 040123) was deposited in
the Herbarium of Beijing Institute of Radiation Medicine, Beijing.

Extraction and isolation
Fresh leaves of Agave sisalana Perrine were extracted three times
with 50% ethanolH2O. The extract was concentrated under
reduced pressure, chromatographed on macroporous resin
AB-8 and eluted with gradient acetoneH2O (10%, 45% and 80%)
to give three fractions (Fr. A-C). Fr. B was further chromatographed
on silica gel and eluted with solvent CHCl3-CH3OH-H2O (70:25:5,
v/v/v, lower phase) to give the crude cantalasaponin I, which was
recrystallized to give cantalasaponin I[5] (purity 99%, 1 g).
