ABSTRACT
14
This work describes the lipophilization reactions of malvidin 3-glucoside with different
15
saturated fatty acid chain lengths using an enzymatic synthesis and the study of their
16
physical-chemical and antioxidant properties. The lipophilic anthocyanins were
17
obtained with satisfactory yields (22-40%) after column chromatography purifications
18
and they revealed the same appealing chromatic features of the parent anthocyanin. All
19
the compounds were characterized by mass spectrometry confirming the regioselective
20
acylation on the glucose moiety. The octanol-water partition coefficients and the
21
hydrophobicity index of the different derivatives were determined confirming a
22
lipophilicity increase concomitant with the fatty acid chain length. The antioxidant
23
profile was also evaluated by two in vitro methods (β-Carotene-lineolate method and
24
oxygen consumption assay). Overall, a maximum of antioxidant activity was achieved
25
when malvidin 3-glucoside was conjugated with caprylic acid (C8). Altogether, the
26
results obtained provides a good perspective for the technological application of these
27
functionalized anthocyanins in cosmetic and food industries.

INTRODUCTION
33
It is well known that polyphenolic compounds are secondary metabolites of plants and
34
they are extensively present in many fruits, vegetables, and in some beverages such as
35
tea, berry juices and red wine. Usually, they are associated with organoleptic properties
36
of foods and with health-promoting effects because of their extensively reported
37
antioxidant and biological properties.1-7 For these reasons, research on the application of
38
polyphenols has attracted attention over recent years from the food, cosmetic and
39
pharmaceutical industries.
40
The main class of polyphenols are the flavonoids which have a 2-phenylbenzopyran
41
type structure. Depending on the unsaturation degree of the C ring, flavonoids could be
42
divided into several families such as flavan-3-ols, flavonols and anthocyanins.
43
However, there are some drawbacks that have limited their industrial applications such
44
as high reactivity, the chemical equilibrium due to pH variation (in the case of
45
anthocyanins), temperature, light sensitivity and low solubility in lipophilic media. To
46
overcome these drawbacks/issues, chemical and enzymatic lipophilization of native
47
flavonoids have been widely described in the last decade as a tool for overcoming these
48
limitations and consequently to expand their technological applications in food,
49
therapeutic and cosmetic products.8
50
The main functionalizations reported are alkylations and acylations of carbons and
51
hydroxyl groups of flavonoids with hydrophobic molecules such as the fatty acids.9-11 It
52
has been reported that the lipophilization of flavonoids may not only enhance their
53
physical-chemical properties in a lipophilic environment but could also increase several
54
biological effects of native molecules namely antioxidant,12 antifungal,13 antibacterial,14
55
anticancer15 and anti-inflammatory16 properties as well as their bioavailability.17,18
56
Conversely to other flavonoids, the chemistry involved in anthocyanins is much more
3 ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
Page 4 of 23
57
difficult to handle such as the organic synthesis of anthocyanins and their
58
metabolites.19,20 The investigation in the esterification and other derivatization reactions
59
of anthocyanin molecules is practically unknown and therefore becomes a more
60
challenging task. Anthocyanins are naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds
61
widespread in the diet that have been attracted the scientific community due both to
62
their health promoting properties and appealing colors (from orange to blue). Recently,
63
there have been a few works dealing with the lipophilization of anthocyanin extracts by
64
chemical/enzymatic approaches, however, the structural and physical-chemical
65
characterization are missing.21,22 Very recently, the synthesis, structural characterization
66
and antioxidant properties of malvidin 3-glucoside-fatty acid derivatives have been
67
reported.23,24 It is well known that in drug delivery and absorption it is important to
68
determine some physical properties of the molecules such as water solubility and
69
hydrophilic/lipophilic balance. These two parameters provide for the capacity of the
70
molecules to cross biological membranes and to reach a cell target.
71
In order to improve the chemical stability, the solubility in lipophilic media and
72
bioavailability, the synthesis of various malvidin 3-glucoside-fatty acid conjugates was
73
performed using a biocatalyst. The novel molecules were characterized by mass
74
spectrometry and their lipophilic parameters (octanol-water partition coefficients, Log P
75
and hydrophobicity index, RM) and their antioxidant profile were determined. The
76
overall information obtained will allow us to establish a structure-property/activity
77
relationship.

82
Silica gel RP-18 (40-63 µm) LiChroprep was provided from Merck (Darmstadt,
83
Germany). Fatty acids, lipase acrylic resin from Candida antarctica lipase B (≥ 5000
84
U/g, recombinant, expressed in Aspergillus niger), molecular sieves 4Å, 2-methyl-2-
85
butanol, β-Carotene, linoleic acid and L-α-Phosphatidylcholine from soybean
86
(lyophilized powder) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (Madrid, Spain). Malvidin 3-
87
glucoside (Mv3glc) extract was obtained from red wine isolation through the method
88
described previously.23
89 90
Synthesis and isolation of Mv3glc-fatty acids derivatives
91
To a flask it was subsequently added 10 mg of Mv3glc red wine extract [corresponding
92
to 6.5 µmol of pure Mv3glc 1 (34%) (Figure 1)], activated 4Å molecular sieves (100
93
g/L) and dry 2-methyl-2-butanol (5 mL). To this solution, the respective fatty acid (from
94
C4 to C16) was added (100 eq.). The reactions started with the addition of the enzyme
95
(Candida antarctica lipase B, CALB) (20 g/L). The reactions were stirred at 60 ºC over
96
a 24 h period and their progression was monitored by HPLC-DAD.23 Each reaction was
97
performed in triplicate.
98
At the maximum product formation, the reaction was filtered to remove the molecular
99
sieves and CALB and the solvent was evaporated under vacuum. The residue was
100
redissolved in acidified methanol (with 2% HCl solution) and the excess of fatty acid
101
and other impurities were extracted with heptane. Methanol fraction was concentrated,
102
diluted in 20% of aqueous acidified MeOH and purified by chromatography on a
103
column loaded with reversed-phase C18 silica gel (150 mm × 16 mm i.d.). The starting
104
material was recovered with 30% of aqueous MeOH and the desired Mv3glc-fatty acid
105
derivatives were isolated from 70-90% of aqueous MeOH. MeOH was removed by
106
evaporation and the pigments were lyophilized and stored at -18 ºC until use. 5 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

HPLC
109
The enzymatic reactions were monitored by a Hitachi L-7100 HPLC (Merck) equipped
110
with a diode array detector (Merck-Hitachi L-7450A) and a reversed-phase column (150
111
mm × 2.1 mm i.d., 5 µm, Vydac 208TP C8, Grace Davison Discovery Sciences)
112
thermostatted at 25 ºC. The detection was carried out at 520 nm. The solvents were (A)
113
water/formic acid (9:1, v/v) and (B) acetonitrile/formic acid (9:1, v/v), with the
114
following gradient: 0-20% B over 5 min, 20-100% over 10 min and isocratic 100% B
115
for 15 min at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. The sample injection volume was 20 µL. The
116
chromatographic column was washed with 100% B during 10 min and then stabilized
117
with the initial conditions during another 10 min.
118 119
LC-DAD/ESI-MS
120
The samples were analysed on a Finnigan Surveyor series liquid chromatograph
121
equipped with a LCQ DECA XP MAX (Finnigan Corp., San Jose, Calif.) mass detector,
122
an atmospheric pressure ionization (API) source using an electrospray ionization (ESI)
123
interface and a reversed-phase column (150 mm × 2.1 mm, i.d., 5 µm, Vydac 208TP
124
C8, Grace Davison Discovery Sciences) thermostatted at 25 ºC using the same solvents,
125
gradients, injection volume and flow rate referred to above for HPLC analyses. Double-
126
online detection was done by a photodiode spectrophotometer and mass spectrometry.
127
The vaporizer and the capillary voltages were 5 kV and 4 V, respectively. The capillary
128
temperature was set at 325 ºC. Nitrogen was used both as sheath and auxiliary gas at
129
flow rates of 90 and 25, respectively (in arbitrary units). Spectra were recorded in
130
positive and negative ion modes from m/z 250-1500. The mass spectrometer was
131
programmed to do a series of three scans: a full mass (MS), a zoom scan of the most
6 ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Page 7 of 23
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
132
intense ion in the first scan (MS2), and a MS-MS of the most intense ion using relative
133
collision energy of 30 and 60 (MS3).
134 135
Lipophilicity characterization
136
The lipophilicity of Mv3glc esters 2-8 was evaluated by determining the following
137
parameters: partition coefficients (Log P) and hydrophobicity index (RM).
138
Theoretical Log P values were achieved using Molinspiration software, which is based
139
on fragmental methods.25 Experimental Log P values were determined as octanol-water
140
biphasic mixture by the shake-flask method.26,27 This method requires that the solvents,
141
acidified water (2% HCl) and n-octanol, need to be previously mutually saturated for
142
more than 24 h before use. Briefly, the test compounds were dissolved in presaturated
143
n-octanol (3 mL) in a vial and the same volume of acidified water saturated with n-
144
octanol was added (final concentration in the vial of 0.12 mM). Then, the flask was
145
vigorously stirred for 1 h and kept for 24 h for separation to reach the equilibrium.
146
Sampling of both phases was performed by careful use of syringes. The syringe used to
147
collect the water-rich phase was filled with air, which was expelled slowly while
148
passing through the octanol phase. After that, both phases were injected and analyzed
149
by HPLC-DAD and the areas of the compounds were taken at 280 nm. The octanol-
150
water partition coefficient (Log P) was calculated using the following equation:
151
Log P = Log Aoctanol /Awater
152
The hydrophobicity index (RM) values were determined by reversed-phase thin layer
153
chromatography (RP-TLC) based on the method described in literature28 with a slight
154
modification29. The RM values were calculated by the formula:
155
RM = Log (1/RF − 1)
7 ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
156
where RF is the retention time from RP-TLC. For RP-TLC analysis, samples were
157
placed on Kieselgel 60 RP-18 F254 plates and eluted with acetonitrile/acetic acid/water
158
(1:40:8, v/v/v). Mv3glc and their derivatives were detected under UV light at 254 nm.

Lipid peroxidation assays
161
β-Carotene Bleaching Method
162
The effect of Mv3glc-fatty acid conjugates on inhibition of linoleic acid peroxidation
163
was performed by the β-carotene bleaching method,29 which included the following:
164
400 µL of β-Carotene (0.1 mg/mL in chloroform), 4.4 µL of linoleic acid and 40 mg of
165
Tween 40. Then, the chloroform was evaporated and to the mixture was added 500 µL
166
of methanol and 4.5 mL of water and the emulsion was shaken vigorously. The
167
compounds were dissolved in MeOH (25 µL, final concentration 200 µM) and 225 µL
168
of β-carotene solution were added to a 96-well plate. The control was 25 µL of MeOH
169
and a blank was performed in the absence of linoleic acid. The experiments were
170
performed in triplicate. The samples were exposed to thermal oxidation over 90 min at
171
50 ºC in a microplate reader. The zero time absorbance was read at 470 nm immediately
172
after the emulsion was added and after 90 min of incubation. The percentage of
173
inhibition of lipid peroxidation was calculated according the equation:
174
% inhibition = [1-(A0-At)/(A'0-A't)]×100
175
where A0 is the absorbance of sample at zero time, At is the absorbance of sample after
176
incubation (90 min) at 50 ºC, A'0 is the absorbance of control at zero time and A't is the
177
absorbance of control after incubation (90 min) at 50 ºC.

Liposome Preparation
8 ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Page 9 of 23
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
180
Liposomes were prepared as described elsewhere.24,30 The peroxidation of the
181
liposomes was induced by peroxyl radicals at a constant rate by thermal degradation of
182
the azo compound AAPH in the presence or absence of antioxidants.
183 184
Oxygen Consumption Assay
185
Oxygen consumption was measured with a Clark-type oxygen electrode (Hansatech
186
Instruments, Pentney, United Kingdom) provided with an automatic recording apparatus as
187
previously described.24 In brief, a mixture containing 1350 µL of Hepes buffer, 150 µL of
188
liposome solution (340 µM final concentration) and 2 µL of antioxidant (1 mM) in MeOH
189
was kept in a 37 °C thermostated bath for 1 h, introduced in a closed glass vessel, protected
190
from light, at 37 °C, and the reaction started after the addition of AAPH (10 mM).31 The
191
induction periods of the compounds were determined graphically from the profiles of oxygen
192
consumption, by the coordinates of the interception of tangents to the inhibited and
193
uninhibited rates of oxidation. Results were expressed comparatively to those obtained with
194
Trolox.
195 196
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
197
Synthesis
198
In this work, reactions between Mv3glc-rich red wine extract and different fatty acids
199
were performed by enzymatic catalysis (Figure 1). All reactions were carried out in
200
anhydrous 2-methyl-2-butanol and at 60 ºC as usually reported in the literature11 and the
201
amount of molecular sieves 4Å (100 g/L) and lipase (20 g/L) used were in concordance
202
with a previous work.23
203

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
Page 10 of 23
204
The progress of the individual reactions was monitored by HPLC-DAD and the
205
formation of new peaks was detected (Figure 2). The maximum formation of the
206
different products was achieved from 6 h (C4) to 12 h (C16). The reactions were further
207
analyzed by LC-DAD/ESI-MS in positive ion mode. The molecular ion [M]+ of the
208
chromatographic peak products correspond to the respective Mv3glc-fatty acid
209
conjugates as well as the MS2 and MS3 fragments indicate that the esterification
210
occurred only on the glucose residue. These reactions would be regioselective to the
211
more reactive hydroxyl group of the sugar (primary alcohol) as it was previously
212
demonstrated by NMR for the Mv3glc-oleic acid conjugate.23 Furthermore, it was
213
observed that the new compounds preserved their maximum absorption wavelength in
214
the visible region with only a slight bathochromic shift compared with native Mv3glc
215
(Table 1). Afterwards, the individual ester products were purified by C18 gel column
216
chromatography and the yields obtained were 22 % (C16) to 40 % (C4 and C8).
217 218
Lipophilic Parameters
219
In order to assess the overall properties of the antioxidant compounds, the lipophilicity
220
characterization of Mv3glc and all Mv3glc-fatty acid derivatives was determined by two
221
parameters: hydrophobicity index (RM) which was calculated taking into consideration
222
the retention factor (RF) of the compounds on C18 TLC plates and the partition
223
coefficient (Log P) which was calculated either theoretically or by HPLC by measuring
224
the distribution of compounds in an octanol-water biphasic system. The octanol-water
225
partition coefficient is the classic method to assess hydrophilic/lipophilic balance32,33
226
and it is the most used parameter in drug development quantitative structure-activity
227
relationship models.
10 ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Page 11 of 23
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
228
As we can be observed in Table 2, RM and experimental Log P parameters increased
229
with the fatty acid chain length which is an indication of the lipophilicity increase from
230
Mv3glc to Mv3glc-C16. Although the theoretical and experimental Log P values are not
231
in the same order of magnitude, they follow the same trend. For compounds Mv3glc-
232
C12 up to Mv3glc-C16 it was not possible to determine their octanol-water partition
233
coefficients since no concentration of the solute was detected in the water phase as
234
already described for other amphiphilic molecules with surfactant properties.34
235 236
Antioxidant Activity
237
The antioxidant features of the Mv3glc and Mv3glc-fatty acid conjugates were assessed
238
by lipid substrate peroxidation assays namely through β-Carotene assay linoleate
239
bleaching method and by measuring the O2 consumption.
240 241
β-Carotene Assay
242
The occurrence of peroxidation of a lipidic substrate (linoleic acid) was monitored by
243
the decrease of the absorbance of the β-Carotene (λmax 470 nm) over 90 min incubation
244
at 50 ºC in a control sample (absence of antioxidant) and in the presence of the different
245
compounds. In Figure 3, the percentage of antioxidant activity (% AA) for Mv3glc and
246
the different Mv3glc-fatty acid conjugates is shown. Overall, it was possible to observe
247
that in this lipophilic environment the antioxidant activity of the parent Mv3glc
248
increases as the fatty acid chain length attached to the glucose moiety increases up to a
249
maximum of 8 carbons and then decreases dramatically. This means that the appropriate
250
structural modification is crucial to enhance the antioxidant activity of these pigments in
251
lipidic matrices.
252

253
O2 consumption assay
254
In order to validate and correlate the results of antioxidant activity obtained by the β-
255
carotene-lineolate method, the lipid peroxidation of a biomimetic model of the
256
biological membranes (liposomes) in the presence of the different antioxidant
257
compounds was measured by the O2 consumption assay (Figure 4). The results seem to
258
indicate a relationship between the antioxidant capacity and the hydrophobicity of the
259
molecules. The measured antioxidant activity increased with the anthocyanin linked to a
260
fatty acid with chain length up to 8 carbons and then decreased significantly. This
261
nonlinear phenomenon, also called as “cut-off” effect, was widely studied and reported
262
in emulsions, membranes and cultured cells.35-37 In summary, this work focuses on the
263
enzymatic synthesis of novel Mv3glc-fatty acid conjugates, structural characterization,
264
evaluation of relevant physical parameters such as octanol-water partition coefficients,
265
hydrophobicity index and antioxidant activity assessment.
266
Overall, the results indicate that a proper structural modification could enhance the
267
physical-chemical properties of anthocyanins as well as improve their antioxidant
268
capacity in lipophilic environment. In this study, the screening of various Mv3glc-fatty
269
acid derivatives with different chain lengths allowed conclusion that a maximum
270
antioxidant efficiency was achieved with the lipophilization of Mv3glc with 8 carbons.
271
The achievement of these lipophilic anthocyanin-derived pigments using green
272
chemistry approaches bring important insights for their future application in lipophilic
273
matrices such as lipid-based foods and cosmetic formulations.
