Two isoflavone C-glucosides, puerarin (1) and PG-3 (2), a but-2-enolide, (+/-)-puerol B (3), two isoflavone O-glucosides, daidzin (4) and genistin (5), and three pterocarpans, (-)-medicarpin (6), (-)-glycinol (7) and (-)-tuberosin (8), were isolated from a MeOH extract of the roots of Pueraria lobata, using an in vitro bioassay based on the inhibition of the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) to monitor chromatographic fractionation. The structures of 1-8 were determined by spectroscopic data interpretation, particularly by 1D- and 2D-NMR studies, and by comparison of these data with values in the literature. All of the isolates (1-8) were evaluated for their inhibitory activity on AGEs formation in vitro. Of these, puerarin (1), PG-3 (2), and (+/-)-puerol B (3) exhibited more potent inhibitory activity than the positive control aminoguanidine.

Blackleg, caused by Leptosphaeria maculans, is an increasing threat to winter rape (Brassica napus L.) in Hungary. The winter rape acreage has been increasing, and the occurrence and severity of the disease has become widespread in all rapeseed-growing regions throughout Hungary in a very short time. The blackleg-infected rape stubbles were collected in the autumn of 2003 in Ikervár, County Vas where the disease was severe. Ascospores were obtained from pseudothecia growing on infected rape stubble (susceptible cvs. GK Helga and Aladin). Three single-spore cultures were grown on V8 agar medium at room temperature and fluorescent light. The culture characteristics fit the type culture description for L. maculans. Pycnidiospores that formed on V8 plates were flooded with 10 ml of sterile distilled water. Seeds of cvs. Westar, Glacier, and Quinta obtained from the Department of Plant Science, University of Manitoba, Canada were sown in plastic pots containing peat mix. Seedlings were maintained in a growth chamber at 24°C with 90% relative humidity and a 16-h photoperiod. Seven days after sowing, cotyledons were wound inoculated with a 10-μl droplet of pycnidiospore suspension (1.5 × 107 spores ml-1). Interaction phenotypes (IP) were scored 10 days after inoculation using a 0 to 9 scale (1). All three isolates from Ikervár were highly virulent on cvs. Westar (8.8 to 8.9) and Glacier (8.1 to 8.3) and avirulent on cv. Quinta (0.8 to 0.9). The IP ratings indicated that these isolates belonged to pathogenicity group-3 (PG-3). To our knowledge, this is the first report of the presence of L. maculans PG-3 in Hungary. At the current time, PG-3 has caused at least 30% yield losses in susceptible cultivars of winter rape. Reference: (1) A. Mengistu et al. Plant Dis. 75:1279, 1991.

The effects of glycosylation and acylation on the spectral characteristics, molar absorptivity, and color attributes of purified acylated and non-acylated pelargonidin derivatives were compared. Pigments were obtained from strawberries, radishes, red-fleshed potatoes, and partially hydrolyzed radish pigments. Individual pigments were isolated by using semipreparative HPLC. Spectral and color (CIELch) attributes of purified pigments were measured. Molar absorptivity ranged from 15 600 to 39 590 for pelargonidin-3-glucoside (pg-3-glu) and pg-3-rutinoside-5-glucoside acylated with p-coumaric acid, respectively. The presence of cinnamic acid acylation had a considerable impact on spectral and color characteristics, causing a bathochromic shift of lambda(max). Sugar substitution also played an important role, with a hypsochromic shift caused by the presence of glycosylation. Pg-3, 5-diglu and pg-3,5-triglu possessed a higher hue angle (>40 degrees ) than the other pg derivatives at pH 1.0, corresponding to the yellow-orange region of the color solid. Acylation with malonic acid did not affect lambda(max) and showed little effect on color characteristics. The solvent system had an effect not only on the molar absorptivity, but also on the visual color characteristic of the pigments.
