Transesterification of arbutin and undecylenic acid vinyl ester was catalyzed by alkaline protease, Bioprase, in dimethylformamide to get arbutin derivative having undecylenic acid at 6-position of glucose moiety, 6-O-undecylenoyl p-hydroxyphenyl beta-D-glucopyranoside. The reaction rate increased with increase of arbutin concentration, and when its concentration was 0.9 M, the conversion rate was more than 90% under addition of 2 M undecylenic acid vinyl ester. The obtained arbutin ester significantly suppressed melanin production in murine B16 melanoma cells.
在二甲基甲酰胺中,碱性蛋白酶Bioprase催化熊果苷与十一碳烯酸乙烯酯发生酯交换反应,得到在葡萄糖部分6位带有十一碳烯酸的熊果苷衍生物,即6-O-十一碳烯酰对羟基苯基β-D-吡喃葡萄糖苷。反应速率随熊果苷浓度的增加而提高,当熊果苷浓度为0.9 M时,在加入2 M十一碳烯酸乙烯酯的情况下转化率超过90%。所得到的熊果苷酯显著抑制小鼠B16黑色素瘤细胞中的黑色素生成。
