摘要
A microsomal enzyme preparation of chicory roots catalyses the hydroxylation of various sesquiterpene olefins in the presence of NADPH. Most of these hydroxylations take place at an isopropenyl or isopropylidene group. The number of products obtained from any of the substrates is confined to one or, in a few cases, two sesquiterpene alcohols. In addition, the conversion of (+)-valencene into nootkatone through beta-nootkatol was observed. The involvement of (+)-germacrene A hydroxylase (a cytochrome P450 enzyme) and other enzymes of sesquiterpene lactone biosynthesis in these reactions is discussed. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.
