Sesamum indicum seeds accumulate the antioxidant lignans, (+)-sesamin and (+)-sesamolin. It was established that seeds of 8-week old S. indicum plants catalyzed distinct lignan transformations (methylenedioxy bridge formation in piperitol and sesamin, as well as oxygen insertion in sesamolin) depending upon the stage of seed maturity, i.e. lignan formation was developmentally regulated. The most mature...
Sesame lignans, whose biosynthetic pathway is the subject of this study, have well-established antioxidant and health protecting properties. Using a combination of radio- and stable-isotopically labelled precursor administration experiments, it was demonstrated that E-coniferyl alcohol undergoes stereoselective coupling to afford (+)-pinoresinol in Sesamum indicum seeds. Only this enantiomer, and...
