Apigenin-7-O-glucoside oxidation catalyzed by P450-bioinspired systems

Apigenin-7-O-glucoside (A7G) is the main flavonoid of Bidens gardneri Bak., with wide application in folk medicine. Despite the popular use of this plant, its biological effects are not completely known. This work tested metalloporphyrins and Jacobsen's catalyst as P450-bioinspired catalysts for A7G oxidation by different oxygen donors.171
