Abstract
Biotransformation of 2,2,5,7,8-pentamethyl-6-chromanol (vitamin E homologue) was investigated with cultured plant cells of Phytolacca americana, Catharanthus roseus, and Eucalyptus perriniana. The cultured cells of P. americana converted 2,2,5.7.8-pentamethyl-6-chromanol into its β-glucoside, whereas conversion with C. roseus and E. perriniana also afforded the hydrolysis product of;8-glucoside and a new β-gentiobioside product, i.e.. 2,2,5.7,8-pentamethylchroman-6-yl 6-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranoside.
