Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biotechnology and relates to a method for enzymatically cleaving the C-glycosidic bonds of flavonoid C-glycosides. Background Technology

[0002] Luteolin: A natural flavonoid compound found in various plants, possessing diverse pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, uric acid-lowering, anti-tumor, antibacterial, and antiviral effects. Clinically, luteolin is mainly used for cough relief, expectoration, anti-inflammation, uric acid lowering, treatment of cardiovascular diseases, treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), treatment of SARS, and treatment of hepatitis.

[0003] Apigenin, also known as apigenin flavonoid, is a flavonoid compound widely distributed in nature. It is mainly found in plants of the Thymelaeaceae, Verbenaceae, and Selaginellaceae families, and is widely distributed in warm and tropical vegetables and fruits, especially in celery. Apigenin has anti-tumor, cardiovascular protective, anti-neurodegenerative disease, and anti-type 2 diabetes functions.

[0004] Because the glycosyl group is directly linked to the aglycone via a C-C bond, the C-glycoside structure is relatively stable and not easily hydrolyzed. Compared with chemical methods, biological methods offer advantages such as good chemoselectivity, regioselectivity, and stereoselectivity; fast reaction rates; high product conversion rates; mild reaction conditions; environmental friendliness; simple conversion process; short cycle time; and low cost. The use of biocatalysis holds promise for the efficient cleavage of C-C glycosidic bonds, laying the foundation for the application of C-deglycosylation of C-glycosides. Summary of the Invention
