Lycopene으로부터 산화개열산물의 생성

Formation of Oxidative Cleavage Products from Lycopene

Lycopene을 dichloromethan에 용해하고 dry ice 상에서 ozonolysis을 행하였다. Ozonolysis에 의해 생성된 산화개열산물은 silica gel chromatography를 행하여 분획하고, photodiode array detector를 이용하여 ODS-HPLC와 LC-MS를 이용하여 분석하였다. Lycopene으로부터 생성된 carbonyl 화합물로 acycloretinal, apo-14'-lycopenal, apo-12'-lycopenal, apo-10'-lycopenal, apo-8'-lycopenal 그리고 apo-6'-lycopenal이 동정되었다. Lycopene을 toluene 및 Tween 40 수용액에 용해하고 $37^{\circ}C$에서 자동산화시킨 결과, 다수의 carbonyl 화합물이 생성되었다. Lycopene의 자동산화에 의해 생성된 carbonyl 화합물의 대부분은 ozonolysis에 얻어진 산화개열산물이 나타내는 HPLC상의 거동과 분광학적 특성이 서로 잘 일치하였다. 이러한 결과는 in vitro 상의 산화적 조건하에서 lycopene 자동산화에 의해 eccentric cleavage가 생성됨을 알 수 있었다.

Lycopene was subjected to ozonolysis in ice-cold dichloromethane. The ozonolysis products were fractionated with a silica column and the carbonyl fraction was analyzed by ODS-HPLC with a photodiode array detector and by LC-MS. UV-vis spectra and $[M+H]^+$ of the carbonyl compound peaks showed clearly that acycloretinal, apo-14'-lycopenal, apo-12'-lycopenal, apo-10'-lycopenal, apo-8'-lycopenal and apo-6'-lycopenal were formed by ozonolysis of lycopene. Lycopene was solubilized in toluene and aqueous Tween 40, and then oxidized by incubating at $37^{\circ}C$ under atmospheric oxygen. Carbonyl compounds were produced. In comparison with autoxidation and ozonolysis, each compound showed the same retention time and UV-vis spectra are identical to the reference cleavage products prepared by ozonolysis of lycopene. Thus, eccentric cleavage of lycopene was confirmed to occur in vitro under oxidation condition.
