Three new pyridoxine-glycosides were isolated from rice bran (10 kg) as colorless powder by various chromatographic techniques: compound A, 53 mg; compound B, 7.8 mg; compound C, 5.8 mg. Compound A was shown to consist of pyridoxine and glucose in a 1:2 molar ratio by beta-glucosidase hydrolysis, and by 1H-NMR and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SI-MS) data. On partial acid hydrolysis of the compound, cellobiose was liberated. Compound A showed the positive Gibbs color reaction, but the reaction was negative in the presence of boric acid. Thus, compound A was identified as 5'-O-(beta-cellobiosyl)pyridoxine. The 13C-NMR spectral data were compatible with this structure. Compounds B and C were proven to be triglucosides of pyridoxine by enzymic hydrolysis and SI-MS data. From the results of the Gibbs color reaction and partial hydrolyses which yielded compound A, compound B was concluded to be 4'-O-(beta-D-glucosyl)-5'-O-(beta-cellobiosyl)pyridoxine, and compound C to be 5'-O-(beta-glucotriosyl)pyridoxine in which a glucose molecule was bound to the cellobiosyl moiety of compound A through beta-glycosidic linkage.

1. T.l.c. with neutral solvent systems of ethyl anthranilate azopigments derived from bile of man, dog and rat revealed pronounced species variation. The less polar components (alpha-group) could be separated conveniently by development with chloroform-methanol (17:3, v/v). 2. The azopigment material derived from gallbladder bile of dog contained about 10% of azobilirubin beta-d-monoxyloside (azopigment alpha(2)) and 30% of azobilirubin beta-d-monoglucoside (azopigment alpha(3)). The sugar moieties were identified by t.l.c. with acidic, neutral and basic solvent systems and by anion-exchange column chromatography of their boric acid complexes. Treatment of the purified azopigments with ammonia vapour led to the formation of the amide of azobilirubin, indicating that both pigments are ester glycosides. The beta-d configuration was demonstrated by enzymic studies with emulsin (an adequate source of beta-glucosidase activity) and with Mylase-P (an adequate source of beta-glucosidase and beta-xylosidase activities). 3. Hydrolysis studies with model substrates and with the alpha(2)- and alpha(3)-azopigments suggested that in Mylase-P the beta-glucosidase and beta-xylosidase activities reside in separate enzymes. 4. Compared with the accepted conjugation with glucuronic acid as a major route of detoxication in mammals, the detection of large amounts of xylose and glucose conjugates of bilirubin in dog bile suggests that the underlying biosynthetic pathways may be important alternative routes of detoxication.
