Diglucosylation of salicyl alcohol by cell suspension cultures of Solanum laciniatum.

A new biotransformation product, salicyl alcohol-7-O-beta-D-(beta-1,6-D-glucopyranosyl)-gluco-pyranoside was isolated from cell suspension cultures of Solanum laciniatum, following administration of salicyl alcohol, and its structure was elucidated using a combination of one- and two-dimensional 1H and 13C-NMR data, and positive and negative ion ESMS data.
