Implications of Fagopyrin Formation In Vitro by UV Spectroscopic Analysis

The present work aims at studying the possible biosynthesis of fagopyrin in buckwheat plants with an attempt to address the existing gaps. The developed method of differential spectrophotometry can be used for identification of naphthodianthrones fagopyrins. It was found that in the vegetative mass...

The developed method of differential spectrophotometry can be used for identification of naphthodianthrones fagopyrins. It was found that in the vegetative mass of buckwheat plants, fagopyrin precursor-2-(piperidine-2-yl)-emodindianthron could be present. As fagopyrin can be produced by light effect, the temperature factor may influence the formation of protofagopyrin in vitro. An optimum temperature range was estimated for protofagopyrin formation. A possible fagopyrin biosynthesis under in vitro conditions was suggested.https://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/26/7/2013naphthodianthronesfagopyrinhypericin<i>Fagopyrum</i>differential spectrophotometry
