The biotransformation of daidzein and its diacetate was investigated using cultured plant cells of Phytolacca americana as biocatalysts. Daidzein was glucosylated to the corresponding 7-O-β-D-glucoside. On the other hand, daidzein diacetate was hydrolyzed to daidzein, which was further glucosylated to 7-O-β-D-glucoside with much higher yield in comparison with the biotransformation of daidzein. Daidzein 7-O-β-D-glucoside showed higher inhibitory activity for histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells than daidzein.
