Abstract

Abstract Biotransformation of 2,2,5,7,8-pentamethyl-6-chromanol (vitamin E homologue) was investigated with cultured plant cells of Phytolacca americana, Catharanthus roseus, and Eucalyptus perriniana. The cultured cells of P. americana converted 2,2,5,7,8-pentamethyl-6-chromanol into its β-glucoside, whereas conversion with C. roseus and E. perriniana also afforded the hydrolysis product of β-glucoside and a new β-gentiobioside product, i.e., 2,2,5,7,8-pentamethylchroman-6-yl 6-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-β-d-glucopyranoside.
