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.

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

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.

178 179

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

9 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

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.
