Remarks ※Metabolism of rheinosides C and D by human intestinal flora
A fecal bacterial suspension (0.5 ml) precultured for 24 h was inoculated into PYF broth (4.5 ml) containing 2 mM rheinoside C or D, and the mixture was anaerobically incubated for 24 h.

※Quantitative determination of rheinosides and 8-deglucosylrheinosides
A 50 μl portion of the culture and 50 μl of MeOH containing 0.1% AcOH were vigorously stirred and centrifuged at 8800 x g for 1 min to separate a supernatant and precipitates. A portion of the supernatant was applied to a normal phase TLC plate of silica gel and developed with a mixed solvent CHCl3-MeOH-H2O (6 : 4 : 1). The spots of rheinoside and 8-deglucosylrheinoside were quantitatively determined by TLC-densitometry at a wavelength of 350 nm.

※Quantitative determination of rhein anthrone
A 50 μl portion of the culture, 20 μl of 1% N, N-dimethyl-p-nitrosoaniline solution in pyridine and 50μl of BuOH saturated with H2O containing 0.1% AcOH were mixed and centrifuged at 8800 x g for 1 min. A portion of the BuOH phase was spotted onto a polyamide TLC sheet, and developed with CHCl3-MeOH-H2O (7:3:0.5). Rhein anthrone anil was quantitatively determined by TLC-densitometry at 660 nm, using a standard line of an authentic compound.

※Metabolism of 8-deglucosylrheinoside D by Eubacterium sp. BAR
A 0.5 ml portion of a bacterial suspension of Eubacterium sp. BAR cultured in GAM broth for 24 h at 37°C was inoculated into PYF broth (4.5 ml) containing 8-deglucosylrheinoside D (final concentration of 1 mM), and the mixture was anaerobically incubated at 37°C. The formation of rhein anthrone was quantitatively monitored by TLC densitometry, after treatment with N, N-dimethyl-p-nitrosoaniline. Bacterial growth was monitored at 540 nm after 10-fold dilution of the culture.
