Abstract
A model reaction system was developed for generating pure thiosulfinates and propanethial-S-oxide (PTSO) using an isolated alliinase (EC 4.4.1.4) and isolated or synthetic alk(en)yl-l-cysteine sulfoxides (ACSO). Reaction yields ranged from 30 to 60% after 3 h at 21−23 °C, and organosulfur reaction products were extracted into CHCl3 to yield product preparations of controlled composition. A pure thiosulfinate or PTSO was derived from a single ACSO, and a preparation containing a mixture of four thiosulfinate species was derived from reaction mixtures employing binary ACSO substrate systems. Identities of homologous thiosulfinates and PTSO were confirmed by 1H NMR. This approach has the potential to be used as a preparative tool for yielding pure thiosulfinates and PTSO to facilitate the study of chemical and biological properties of this group of compounds or as a means to study the dynamics of organosulfur chemistry in preparations from Allium spp. Keywords: Allium; thiosulfinates; propanethial-S-oxide; biogeneration; alliinase; alk(en)yl-l-cysteine sulfoxidesKeywords
