Biliverdin and bilirubin mono- and di-beta-glucuronides were prepared by nucleophilic substitution of the 1-O-mesyl derivative of alpha-ethoxyethyl-protected glucuronic acid (compound II) with the tetrabutylammonium salts of biliverdin and bilirubin. Removal of the acetal-protecting groups by mild acid treatment yielded biliverdin glucuronides, which were reduced to bilirubin glucuronides. Depending on reaction conditions the pure beta-anomers or mixtures highly enriched in the beta-anomers were obtained. The biliverdin and bilirubin glucuronides were identical with pigments derived from bile. They were characterized as the IX alpha isomers and the beta-anomers by alkaline hydrolysis, n.m.r. spectroscopy, hydrolysis with beta-glucuronidase and conversion into dipyrrolic azopigments. Model reactions of the 1-O-mesylate (II) with other nucleophiles also were performed, i.e. the acetate anion and various alcohols.
通过用胆绿素和胆红素的四丁基铵盐对α-乙氧基乙基保护的葡萄糖醛酸(化合物II)的1-O-甲磺酰基衍生物进行亲核取代反应,制备了胆绿素和胆红素的单-β-葡萄糖醛酸苷和二-β-葡萄糖醛酸苷。通过温和的酸处理除去缩醛保护基团,得到胆绿素葡萄糖醛酸苷,将其还原为胆红素葡萄糖醛酸苷。根据反应条件,可以得到纯的β-异头物或高度富集β-异头物的混合物。胆绿素和胆红素葡萄糖醛酸苷与胆汁来源的色素相同。通过碱性水解、核磁共振光谱、β-葡萄糖醛酸酶水解以及转化为双吡咯偶氮色素,将它们表征为IXα异构体和β-异头物。还进行了1-O-甲磺酸酯(II)与其他亲核试剂的模型反应,即乙酸根阴离子和各种醇。
