title: Microbial metabolites of 8-prenylnaringenin, an estrogenic prenylflavanone.
abstract: Microbial metabolism studies of the phyto-estrogen (+/-)-8-prenylnaringenin (8-PN) (1) has led to the isolation of three pairs of metabolites (2-4). The structures of these compounds were identified as 5,4'-dihydroxy-7,8-[2-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-2,3-dihydrofurano]flavanones (2), 8-prenylnaringenin 7-O-beta-D-glucopyranosides (3), and 8-prenylnaringenin 7-O-beta-D-(6'''-O-alpha-hydroxypropionyl)-glucopyranosides (4) on the basis of the spectroscopic analysis.
