Abstract
Cell suspension culture of Phaseolus aureus, Glycine max and Pisum sativum have been used to determine the extent of chalcone and isoflavone catabolism. The A-rings of calcones and isoflavones with both resorcinol and phloroglucinol pattern of sub­stitution have unequivocally been shown to be degraded as measured by carbon dioxide production The earlier described catabolic pathway of chalcones with the B-ring liberated as a substituted benzoic acid has been verified using another chalcone. With the use of various 14C-labelled isoflavones it could be demonstrated that essentially all carbon atoms are introduced into catabolic reactions. Incorporation of 4',7-dihydroxyisoflavone (daidzein) into insoluble polymeric material has been shown to proceed via the 3',4',7-trihydroxyisoflavone. 3'-Hydroxylation and subsequent polymeri­sation of the orto-dihydroxy compound can completely be inhibited by using anaerobic conditions which favour glucoside formation instead. 4'-O-Methylgroups in isoflavones prevent the phenolase catalzyed 3'-hydroxylation and thus the incorporation of isoflavones into polymeric structures. 6,7-Dihydroxy substituted insoflavones when fed to cell cultures are not polymerized by phenolase but are rather converted to glycosides.
