Background technology
Raspberry ketone, have another name called immature fruit of Juteleaf Raspberry ketone (raspberry ketone), chemistry 4-p-hydroxybenzene-2-butanone by name, (4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-butanone), be a kind of a kind of safe edible spices that uses through the common approval of U.S. flavouring agent producer association (FEMA) and Council of Europe (COE) with quiet and tastefully laid out fruital note, its FEMA is numbered 2588, belong to that national customs is admitted, the new high-tech product of industry policy encourage growth, it is widely used in the synthetic of food, makeup and medicine intermediate.As Fructus Rubi real character fragrance matter, content is low and resource is very limited in the raspberry plant, and it is uneconomic extracting natural raspberry ketone from plant, and the raspberry ketone cost of natural extract is up to 20,000 dollars of per kilograms.
At occurring in nature, raspberry ketone extensively is present in the rubus raspberry.Raspberry, modern title raspberry is rubus, the Rosaceae, subshrub, little oar fruit.It is edible that raspberry can be cooked fruit, and its red ripe fruit claims the raspberry fruit, and mouthfeel perfume (or spice), sweet, sour can be eaten raw, is a kind of high-end fruit that has nutritive value and economic worth the America and Europe, and few well known in China, only there is a small amount of cultivation in the area northeastward, relatively more rare on the market.Raspberry has very high pharmaceutical use simultaneously; Its green fruit is made the traditional Chinese medicine raspberry through the process of preparing Chinese medicine, and documents such as Compendium of Material Medica records has " smell is sweet, and is flat, nontoxic ", and the supplementing the kidney to control the nocturnal urine yang invigorating functions that contracts is arranged.
Raspberry ketone is a kind of phenolic compound, its biosynthesizing derives from the polyketide biosynthetic pathway, BENZALACETONE synthase (Benzalacetone synthase (BAS)) (EC 2.3.1.-) catalysis 4-coumaric acyl coenzyme A and malonyl coenzyme A molecule generate BENZALACETONE (p-hydroxyphenylbut-3-ene-2-one) by step decarboxylation condensation reaction, and BENZALACETONE restores the direct down raspberry ketone that generates of catalysis of enzyme afterwards.BAS is vegetation type III polyketide synthase (PKS) superfamily member, has a series of benzene butane compounds of valuable pharmacological value and the C of derivative thereof at structure
6-C
4The molecular skeleton aspect has important function.BAS is the key enzyme and the rate-limiting enzyme of raspberry ketone biosynthetic pathway, is to utilize the biosynthetic target spot of genetic engineering technique molecular regulation raspberry ketone.BAS does not obtain separating in the raspberry plant always, but obtains separating in polygonum rheum palmatum (Rheum palmatum).
