苯乙基-β-D-葡糖苷 ,  Phenylethyl β-D-glucopyranoside

Natural product derived from plant source.

2-Phenylethyl beta-D-glucopyranoside belongs to the class of organic compounds known as o-glycosyl compounds. These are glycoside in which a sugar group is bonded through one carbon to another group via a O-glycosidic bond. 2-Phenylethyl beta-D-glucopyranoside exists as a solid, soluble (in water), and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Within the cell, 2-phenylethyl beta-D-glucopyranoside is primarily located in the cytoplasm. Outside of the human body, 2-phenylethyl beta-D-glucopyranoside can be found in alcoholic beverages, fruits, green vegetables, and herbs and spices. This makes 2-phenylethyl beta-D-glucopyranoside a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.

Phenylethyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside is a phenolic compound that is found in plants such as Echinacea. Phenylethyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside has been shown to inhibit tumor cell proliferation by increasing the levels of enzyme catalysis and enzyme activity, and decreasing the levels of protocatechuic acid. This compound also inhibits fatty acid synthesis, which may be due to its ability to inhibit the production of 4-hydroxycinnamic acid via inhibition of the enzyme acyl coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase. The cyanobacterial strain Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 was found to produce phenylethyl glucoside, an iridoid glucoside with high cytotoxic activity against human tumor cells.
