Epibrassinolide Usage And Synthesis

DescriptionEpibrassinolide is a brassinosteroid that can be isolated from various plants and has been shown to decrease toxicity and stimulate healthy plant growth in plants under stress. Epibrassinolide is also reported to be a potential apoptotic inducer in various cancer cells without affecting the non-tumor cell growth. It has also been shown to protect neuronal PC12 cells from 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium-induced oxidative stress and consequent apoptosis in dopaminergic neurons.
Chemical PropertiesThe solubility of epibrassinolide in ethanol and DMSO is approximately 3 mg/ml and approximately 5 mg/ml in DMF.
Chemical PropertiesWhite Solid
UsesA plant growth stimulant
UsesEpibrassinolide has been used:
  • in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium to study the cotyledon and shoot length response of Cappelle-Desprez (rht8) and RIL6 (Rht8) plants towards it
  • in callus-inducing medium for callus induction
  • to induce the expression of the gene leaf inclination 2 (LC2) in rice sampling

DefinitionChEBI: 24-epi-brassinolide is a 2alpha-hydroxy steroid, a 3alpha-hydroxy steroid, a 22-hydroxy steroid, a 23-hydroxy steroid and a brassinosteroid.
Synthesis2.06 g (3.70 mmol) of 2??,3??-dipropionyloxy-24S-ethyl-5??-cholest-22-en-6-one (V) was dissolved in 100 ml of dichloromethane, 8.0 g (31.08 mmol) of m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 days. Then 8.0 g of powdered calcium hydroxide was added, stirred for 1 hour and filtered, the solvent was removed by vacuum distillation and the crude product was obtained. This crude product was refined by silica gel column chromatography (benzene:ethyl acetate 30:1 to 15:1) to obtain 0.85 g (39.0%) of (22R, 23R, 24S)-2??,3??-dipropionyloxy-22,23-epoxy-B-homo-7-oxa-5??-soylestan-6-one [Compound (I)], i.e., (1R, 3aS, 3bS, 6aS, 8S , 9R, 10aR, 10bS, 12aS)-1-[(1S)-1-[(2R,3R)-3-[(1S)-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl]-2-oxiranyl]ethyl]hexadecahydro-10a,12a-dimethyl-8,9-bis(1-oxopropoxy)-6H-benzo[c]indeno[5,4-e]oxazan-6-one] also known as propionyl brassinolide.
Metabolic pathwayTwo isomeric metabolites, 25-b- and 26-b-D-glucopyranosyloxy-24-epi-brassinolides, are formed intomato cell suspension cultures with endogenouslyapplied 24-epi-brassinolide. The two-step metabolicprocess involves hydroxylation of the side chain atC25 and C26, respectively, followed by glucosidationof the newly formed hydroxyl groups. The ratiobetween both metabolites is altered by in vivotreatment of the cell cultures with various cytochromeP-450-specific inhibitors, indicating the involvement of two different enzyme systems. Biosyntheticallyprepared 25-hydroxy-24-epi-brassinolide, reapplied tothe cell cultures, is exclusively glucosylated at the 25-hydroxyl group, strongly suggesting regiospecificity ofthe corresponding glucosyltransferase.
