| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Ellagitannins have hexahydroxydiphenoyl (HHDP) esters, and biogenesis of which was thought to be simple oxidative couplings between two galloyl esters. However, the HHDP esters in the leaves of Carpinus sp. were generated reductively from dehydrohexahydroxydiphenoyl (DHHDP) esters. Similar reductive metabolism were also observed in the leaves of Sapium sp. and Punica sp. Purified DHHDP esters isolated Carpinus sp. and Sapium sp. were spontaneously decomposed to give HHDP esters in aqueous solution. The reaction is non-enzymatic and probably proceed by the reduction-oxidation dismutation mechanism. The results may propose a new biosynthetic mechanisms of ellagitannins.
