Abstract
A comprehensive phytochemical investigation of black soybean (Glycine max) led to the isolation of five compounds, including a new jasmonate derivative (1), a β-sitosterol glucoside derivative (2), two isoflavone glycosides (3 and 4), and an aurone glycoside derivative (5). Their chemical structures were determined using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and comparison with previously reported data. The absolute configuration of the new jasmonate derivative (1) was determined through density functional theory calculations of NMR chemical shifts and DP4+ probability analysis. Additionally, marsuposide (5) was identified in black soybean for the first time, expanding the known chemical profile of this crop. Notably, the occurrence of these metabolites provides potential chemotaxonomic markers within the Fabaceae family, highlighting unique metabolic traits of black soybean. These findings contribute not only to the understanding of the secondary metabolism of the species but also to broader discussions on the diversification of legume-specific phytochemicals. The potential agricultural and biological significance of these metabolites is discussed, along with their chemotaxonomic significance, offering insights into the phytochemical composition of black soybean and its relevance to crop improvement and plant classification.
期刊介绍:
Biochemical Systematics and Ecology is devoted to the publication of original papers and reviews, both submitted and invited, in two subject areas: I) the application of biochemistry to problems relating to systematic biology of organisms (biochemical systematics); II) the role of biochemistry in interactions between organisms or between an organism and its environment (biochemical ecology).
In the Biochemical Systematics subject area, comparative studies of the distribution of (secondary) metabolites within a wider taxon (e.g. genus or family) are welcome. Comparative studies, encompassing multiple accessions of each of the taxa within their distribution are particularly encouraged. Welcome are also studies combining classical chemosystematic studies (such as comparative HPLC-MS or GC-MS investigations) with (macro-) molecular phylogenetic studies. Studies that involve the comparative use of compounds to help differentiate among species such as adulterants or substitutes that illustrate the applied use of chemosystematics are welcome. In contrast, studies solely employing macromolecular phylogenetic techniques (gene sequences, RAPD studies etc.) will be considered out of scope. Discouraged are manuscripts that report known or new compounds from a single source taxon without addressing a systematic hypothesis. Also considered out of scope are studies using outdated and hard to reproduce macromolecular techniques such as RAPDs in combination with standard chemosystematic techniques such as GC-FID and GC-MS.
