title: Microbial metabolism of the prenylated chalcone xanthohumol.
abstract: Microbial metabolism of xanthohumol (1), a prenylated chalcone isolated from hops, gave three novel glucosylated derivatives (2-4) and a known compound, isoxanthohumol (5). The structures of the new compounds were identified as xanthohumol 4'-O-beta-glucopyranoside (2), xanthohumol 4,4'-O-beta-diglucopyranoside (3), and 5-methoxy-8-prenylnaringenin 7-O-beta-glucopyranoside (4) on the basis of spectroscopic methods.
