Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for preparing quercetin glucoside from rutin using rhamnosidase(EC 3.2.1.40) is provided to improve productivity of quercetin-3-glucoside having apoptosis ability to cancer cells. CONSTITUTION: A quercetin-3-glucoside having anticancer activity is converted from Aspergillus niger(KCTC 6906)-derived rhamnosidase. A method for isolating the rhamnosidase comprises: a step of shaking Aspergillus niger(KCTC 6906) in PD(potato dextrose) and ME(malt extract) at 30°C for five days; a step of filtering the culture medium using Whatman Glass Microfibre filter; a step of filtering again with bottle top filter at 0.22μm; a step of dissolving the filtered liquid in 85% ammonium sulfate, centrifuging to remove supernatant, and dissolving precipitate in buffer; and a step of isolating through DEAE-cellulose ion chromatography sephacryl S-200 gel chromatography.
