Scopolin
Topic: Chemistry
From HandWiki - Reading time: 3 min
Scopolin is a glucoside of scopoletin formed by the action of the enzyme scopoletin glucosyltransferase.[1] It occurs in Chamaemelum nobile.[2]
Biosynthesis
Scopoletin glucosyltransferase transfers a glucose unit from UDP-glucose to form scopoletin from scopolin:

The enzyme has been characterised from tobacco and Duboisia myoporoides.[1][3][4]
