Abstract:

To research the benzaldehydes of the soft coral-associated symbiotic fungus Aspergillus sp. EGF 15-0-3 with the activity of overcoming tumor resistance, the secondary metabolites were isolated by silica gel column chromatography, ODS, Sephadex LH-20, thin layer chromatography, and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The structures of compounds were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectrometry(MS), and literature analysis. Nine benzaldehydes were obtained and elucidated as follows: flavoglaucin (1), tetrahydroauroglaucin (2), isoaspergin (3), isotetrahydroauroglaucin (4), dihydroauroglaucin (5), isodihydroauroglaucin (6), 2-(1',5'-heptadienyl)-3,6-dihydroxy-5- (3''-methyl-2''-butenyl) benzaldehyde (7), auro- glaucin (8), and 2-(2',3-epoxy-1'-heptenyl)-6- hydroxy-5-(3''methyl-2''-butenyl) benzal-dehyde (9). Using the MTT [3-(4, 5)-dimethylthiahiazo (-z-y1)-3, 5-di-phenytetrazoliumromide] method, compound 9 showed strong activity to drug-resistant tumor cell lines H1975/GR. This may be due to the structure of a pyran ring between the 2-position side chain and 3-hydroxyl group.

Key words: Soft coral-associated symbiotic epiphytic fungus, Aspergillus sp. EGF15-0-3, benzaldehydes, overcoming tumor resistance activity
