Popis: Model compounds of the precursor of carthamin 3, 4, and 5 were prepared. And in analogy with the precursor of carthamin (PRE) 1, they were converted into carthamin-type compounds 13, 14, and 15, respectively, when sprayed with peroxidase-H2O2 solution. It was also found that these conversions proceeded quantitatively by treatment with phosphate buffer extract of a cultured safflower cell and this conversion reaction proceeded by oxidative decarboxylation.
