Pinoresinol is a tetrahydrofuran lignan[1] found in Styrax sp.,[2] Forsythia suspensa, and in Forsythia koreana.[3][4] It is also found in the caterpillar of the cabbage butterfly, Pieris rapae where it serves as a defence against ants.[5]

In food, it is found in sesame seed, in Brassica vegetables[6] and in olive oil.[7] Pinoresinol has also been found to be toxic to larvae of the milkweed bug Oncopeltus fasciatus and of the haematophagous insect Rhodnius prolixus, which is a vector of chagas disease.[8]

Currently, pinoresinol is isolated from plants with low efficiency and low yield.[9]

Biosynthesis

A first dirigent protein was discovered in Forsythia intermedia. This protein has been found to direct the stereoselective biosynthesis of (+)-pinoresinol from coniferyl alcohol monomers.[10] Recently, a second, enantiocomplementary dirigent protein was identified in Arabidopsis thaliana, which directs enantioselective synthesis of (-)-pinoresinol.[11]

(+)-Pinoresinol Biosynthesis
Reaction of monolignol radicals in the presence of dirigent protein to form (+)-pinoresinol
In the presence of dirigent protein from Forsythia intermedia, production of (+)-pinoresinol is greatly enriched while production of other products of dimerization is inhibited.

Pharmacology

Pinoresinol inhibits the enzyme α-glucosidase in vitro and may therefore act as a hypoglycemic agent.[12] A study involving extra virgin olive oil showed that pinoresinol possess in vitro chemoprevention properties. Increased apoptosis and cellular arrest at the G2/M stage in p53-proficient cells occurred.[13] Pinoresinol of olive oil decreases vitamin D intestinal absorption.[14]

Metabolism into enterolignans

Pinoresinol, along with other plant lignans, are converted into enterolignans by intestinal microflora in the human body.[15]
