Abstract

One of the approaches to increasing the bioavailability of resveratrol is to protect its 3-OH phenolic group. In this work, regioselective acylation of resveratrol at 3-OH was achieved by transesterification with vinyl acetate catalyzed by immobilized lipase from Alcaligenes sp. (lipase QLG). The maximum yield of 3-O-acetylresveratrol was approximately 75%, as the lipase also catalyzes its further acetylation affording the diester 3,4'-di-O-acetylresveratrol and finally the peracetylated derivative. Long saturated and unsaturated fatty acid vinyl esters were also effective as acyl donors with similar regioselectivity. In contrast, lipase B from Candida antarctica catalyzes the acylation of the phenolic group 4'-OH with 80% yield and negligible formation of higher esters. The analysis of the antioxidant properties showed that the Trolox equivalent antioxidant capability (TEAC) values for the acetyl and stearoyl derivatives at 3-OH were, respectively, 40% and 25% referred to resveratrol. The addition of an acyl chain in the 3-OH position caused a higher loss of activity compared with that at the 4'-OH.
