A new triterpene glucosyl ester, rubusside A, has been isolated from the fruit of the blackberry (Rubus allegheniensis PORT.) along with a known triterpene glucosyl ester, niga-ichigoside F1. The chemical structure of rubusside A was determined on the basis of spectroscopic data as well as chemical evidence.

As one of rare high-value ocotillol (OCT)-type ginsenosides, pseudoginsenoside Rt5 has been identified with significant pharmacological activities. UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) play pivotal roles in catalyzing the transfer of a glycosyl moiety from a donor to an acceptor. In this study, the novel UGT, PjUGT10, was screened from the transcriptome database of Panax japonicus and identified with the enzymatic activity of transferring a glucosyl group on OCT to produce Rt5.

Mogrosides constitute a series of natural sweeteners extracted from Siraitia grosvenorii fruits. These mogrosides are glucosylated to different degrees, with mogroside V (M5) and siamenoside I (SIA) being two mogrosides with high intensities of sweetness. SgUGT94-289-3 constitutes a uridine diphosphate (UDP)-dependent glycosyltransferase (UGT) responsible for the biosynthesis of M5 and SIA, by continuously catalyzing glucosylation on mogroside IIe (M2E) and on the subsequent intermediate mogroside products.
