| ln Vitro |
8-Hydroxybergapten served as a substrate for O-methyltransferase present in crude, desalted cell extracts from Ruta graveolens cultures. In the presence of S-adenosylmethionine as the methyl donor, these extracts converted 8-Hydroxybergapten to isopimpinellin.[1]
A mixed substrate experiment suggested that the O-methylation of 8-Hydroxybergapten and 5-hydroxyxanthotoxin are catalyzed by different, specific enzymes.[1] |
|---|---|
| ln Vivo |
8-Hydroxy[Me-14C]bergapten was converted to isopimpinellin by Ruta graveolens culture cells with a high degree of incorporation, indicating it can function as a biosynthetic intermediate in vivo.[1]
Attempts to trap free or glucosidically bound 8-Hydroxybergapten in Ruta cell extracts after feeding with [2-14C]umbelliferone were unsuccessful, likely due to rapid metabolism upon entry into cells.[1] |
| Enzyme Assay |
O-Methyltransferase activity was assayed using crude, desalted extracts from Ruta graveolens culture cells (7-18 days old). The assay mixture typically contained cell extract, Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.5), phenolic substrate (e.g., 8-Hydroxybergapten), S-[Me-14C]adenosylmethionine as the methyl donor, and MgCl₂. Incubation was carried out at 30°C for 1 hour. After incubation, carrier isopimpinellin was added, and the product was extracted with ether, purified by thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and analyzed by UV spectrometry and radioactivity measurement.[1]
For mixed substrate experiments to probe enzyme specificity, reactions were run with either 8-Hydroxybergapten or 5-hydroxyxanthotoxin alone, or with both substrates together, under conditions approaching substrate saturation. The reaction rates were compared to infer whether one or two distinct enzymes were involved.[1] |
| Cell Assay |
Ruta graveolens cells were cultured in shake flasks. For feeding experiments, filter-sterilized solutions of coumarin precursors (e.g., bergapten, xanthotoxin, or 8-Hydroxy[Me-14C]bergapten) were added to vigorously growing cultures.[1]
After the metabolic period, cells were extracted with ethanol. Coumarins were isolated through a series of steps including partition between methanol-water and hexane, continuous ether extraction, separation of phenolic and non-phenolic fractions, vacuum sublimation, and chromatography (column chromatography and/or TLC). Isopimpinellin was purified and identified by its fluorescence, UV spectrum, and melting point, and its radioactivity was measured.[1] Trapping experiments aimed at detecting intermediate 8-Hydroxybergapten involved analyzing the free phenolic fraction and the fraction hydrolyzable by β-glucosidase (emulsin) from cell extracts using TLC with authentic standards.[1] |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicity Summary
Many furanocoumarins act through mechanisms based on their ability to form photoadducts with DNA and other cellular components, such as RNA, proteins, and membrane proteins like phospholipases A2 and C, calcium-dependent and cAMP-dependent protein kinases, and epidermal growth factor. Furanocoumarins can intercalate between DNA base pairs and form cycloadducts upon UVA irradiation. (L579) |

| Additional Infomation |
9-Hydroxy-4-methoxypsoralen is a type of psoralen compound. 8-Hydroxybergamot lactone has been found in Angelica sinensis, Resveratrol and other organisms with relevant data. 9-Hydroxy-4-methoxypsoralen is found in pome fruits. 9-Hydroxy-4-methoxypsoralen was isolated from Mexican apple (Casimiroa edulis). 8-Hydroxybergamot lactone (HB) is a phenolic furanocoumarin, specifically an 8-hydroxy derivative of bergamot lactone (5-methoxypsoralen). [1] It is considered a potential biosynthetic intermediate for the conversion of bergamot lactone to isopsoralen (5,8-dimethoxypsoralen), which is achieved through 8-hydroxylation and subsequent O-methylation. [1]
Studies have shown that the pathway via flavotoxin (8-methoxypsoralen) is the main pathway for isopsoralen biosynthesis, while the bergamot lactone/8-hydroxybergamot lactone pathway plays a relatively minor role. This may be because the activity of the putative 8-hydroxylase acting on bergamot lactone is lower than that acting on psoralen. 5-hydroxylase acts on flavotoxin. [1] The natural presence of free 8-hydroxybergamot lactone in plants has not been determined, and its reported isolation is likely artificial. [1] |
