Published in 2022 at "Chinese journal of natural medicines"

DOI: 10.1016/s1875-5364(21)60105-x

Abstract: Pueraria thomsonii has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine. Isoflavonoids are the principle pharmacologically active components, which are primarily observed as glycosyl-conjugates and accumulate in P. thomsonii roots. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Natural Product Communications"

DOI: 10.1177/1934578x1801301113

Abstract: Enzymatic glucosylation of racemic phenylephrine by glucosyltransferase from Nicotiana tabacum gave (R)-phenylephrine glucoside and recovered (S)-phenylephrine. [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 complex associated with simple hemisalen ligands or zeolite were able to racemize (S)-phenylephrine. The [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2/Ligand/TEMPO or zeolite racemization… read more here.
