| Preparative Isolation of Anthraquinones from the Fungus Dermocybe sanguined Using Enzymatic Hydrolysis by the Endogenous ß-Glucosidase  | | | | Abstract
| A new and simple enzymatic method was developed for preparative isolation of anthraqui none pigments from Dermocybe sanguined. The endogenous ß-glucosidase of the fungus was used to catalyze the hydrolysis of the O-glycosyl linkage in emodin-and dermocybin-1-ß-D-glucopyranosides. The developed enzymatic method was found to be effective for the pig ment isolation, as the hydrolysis occurred virtually completely, thus leading to a high pigment yield. Two fractions were obtained by the method: Fraction 1 (94% of the total pigment amount), containing almost exclusively the main pigments emodin and dermocybin, and Frac tion 2 (6 %), containing the anthraquinone carboxylic acids. A 10.5 kg amount of fresh fungi yielded 56 g of Fraction 1 and 3.3 g of Fraction 2 anthraquinones. The anthraquinones in each fraction were separated by thin-layer chromatography using tolu en e-eth yl acetate-eth anol-form ic acid (10:8:1:2, v/v/v/v) as eluent. The components on the chromatograms were detected and characterized by measurements on a densitom eter-spectrophotom eter. Combined gas chromatography-mass spectrom etry was applied to determine the anthraqui none derivatives of Fraction 1 after methylation and acetylation. | | | |
