Xanthohumol is a natural product found in the female inflorescences of Humulus lupulus, also known as hops. This compound is also found in beer and belongs to a class of compounds that contribute to the bitterness and flavor of hops. [2] Xanthohumol is a prenylated chalconoid, biosynthesized by a type III polyketide synthase (PKS) and subsequent modifying enzymes. [3] [4]

Biosynthesis

Xanthohumol is a prenylated chalconoid derived from a plant type III PKS, and is synthesized in the glandular trichromes of hop cones. [2] L-Phenylalanine serves as the starting material, which is converted to cinnamic acid by the PLP-dependent phenylalanine ammonia lyase. [5] [6] Cinnamic acid is oxidized by cinnamate-4-hydroxylase and loaded onto Coenzyme A (CoA) by 4-coumarate CoA ligase to yield 4-hydroxy-cinnamoyl CoA, the starter unit for PKS extension. [5] [6] This molecule is extended three times with malonyl CoA, cyclized through a Claisen condensation, and aromatized through tautomerization to form naringenin chalcone (chalconaringenin). [5] This intermediate has the potential to form a variety of different products depending on the enzymes that modify the core structure. [2] [5] In the case of xanthohumol, a prenyltransferase called Humulus lupulus prenyltransferase 1 (HlPT-1) attaches a molecule of dimethylallyl pyrophosphate from the DXP pathway. [7] HlPT-1 has a broad substrate specificity and also participates in making other prenylated flavonoids in the hop plant. [7] Finally, an O-methyltransferase methylates a phenol substituent using S-adenosyl methionine. [6] Total syntheses of xanthohumol and derivatives have been achieved, though extraction from hops remains a primary source. [8] [9]

The biosynthesis of Xanthohumol utilizes building blocks from plant secondary metabolism, and is catalyzed by a type III PKS and accessory modifying enzymes.

Beer

In commercial beers, the concentration of xanthohumol ranges from about 2 μg/L – 1.2 mg/L. [10] During the brewing process, xanthohumol and other prenylated flavonoids are lost as they are converted to the corresponding flavanones. [11] Different hop varieties and different beers contain varying quantities of xanthohumol. [2]

Research

Xanthohumol is under basic research for its potential biological properties. [10] Xanthohumol can be extracted with pressurized hot water. [12]
