Microbial transformation of isoxanthohumol (1), a prenylated flavanone from hops, has resulted in the production of a pair of glucosylated derivatives. The structures of these compounds were elucidated to be (2S)-5-methoxy-8-prenylnaringenin 7-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (2) and (2R)-5-methoxy-8-prenylnaringenin 7-O-${\beta}$-Dglucopyranoside (3) based on the spectroscopic analyses.
