Abstract

To investigate the chemical composition and biological activity of the soft coral Lobophytum sp. collected from South China Sea. A series of methods such as silica gel column chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, and semi-preparative high performance liquid chromatography were used to separate and purify. The structure of the compounds was characterized by analysis of NMR data and comparison with the data reported in literature. Twelve compounds were identified from the soft coral Lobophytum sp., including nine diterpenoids: (+)-(7R, 8R)-epoxy-7, 8-dihydrocembrene C(1), (1R, 2E, 4R, 7E, 11E)-cembra-2, 7, 11- triene-4-ol(2), (-)-(2R, 7R, 8R)-sarcophytoxide(3), entsarcophine(4), sarcotenusene C(5), (7S, 8S)-epoxy-1, 3, 11-cembratrien-16-oic methyl ester(6), sarcophytonin B(7), sarcoconvolutum D(8), laevigatol A(9); three steroids: campesterol(10), (24S)-24-methylcholesterol(11), gorgonol(12). Compound 8 was isolated from the soft coral Lobophytum sp. for the first time. The bioassay results revealed that compounds 3, 4, 5, 7 and 10 show significant antibacterial activity against fish pathogens Photobacterium damselae FP2244, oxytetracycline-resistant Streptococcus parauberis SPOF3K, and human pathogen vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium.

海洋是古老而又神秘的栖息地, 占据地球表面积的71%, 拥有多样的海洋生态系统。这种高盐、高压、缺氧和低温、低光照的极端环境赋予了数百万的海洋无脊椎动物特殊的代谢系统(肖细姬 等, 2019; 王子鹏 等, 2023), 使其能够产生独特的次级代谢产物用来抵御捕食者的猎杀和微生物的侵蚀。软珊瑚为腔肠动物门(Coelenterata)珊瑚虫纲(Anthozoa)八放珊瑚亚纲(Octocorallia)软珊瑚目(Alcyonacea)的海洋无脊椎动物(柴兴云 等, 2011), 主要栖息于热带和亚热带浅海区(Benayahu et al, 2004; 张兴旺 等, 2016), 如印度—太平洋海域, 我国南海海域也有广泛分布。软珊瑚作为固着底栖的海洋无脊椎动物, 它们缺乏坚硬的物理外壳的保护, 却可以通过独特的化学防御机制使其在危机四伏的海洋环境中生存。因此, 对其次级代谢产物的研究一直是海洋天然产物化学家们的研究热点。据文献报道, 软珊瑚的次级代谢产物种类丰富, 富含结构新颖和生物活性多样的萜类、甾体和生物碱类化合物, 并大多具有抗炎、抗菌、抗增殖、拒食等生物活性(牛燕 等, 2009; 郎俊慧 等, 2015; Peng et al, 2018; Vanisree et al, 2000)。因此, 对软珊瑚中的生物活性物质进行研究, 有利于“蓝色药库”的构建和为我国海洋新药挖掘提供新源泉(付秀梅 等, 2019)。
随着抗生素长期广泛超量使用, 使得部分细菌产生变异成为耐药菌株, 如临床上耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌、耐万古霉素葡萄球菌、耐万古霉素肠球菌等超级细菌的出现, 不仅严重危害人类的健康, 这种情况继续恶化下去很可能使人类面临感染时无药可用的境地。此外, 由于渔业养殖中也普遍存在滥用抗生素的情况, 从而也诱导衍生出了多种耐药的鱼类致病菌, 这也将对渔业经济以及人类健康造成严重威胁。因此, 开发新型抑制耐药细菌的抗生素已成为研究热点。本课题对采自中国南海的豆荚软珊瑚Lobophytum sp.中分离鉴定了12个化合物(化合物112)(图1), 分别为(+)-(7S, 8S)-epoxy-7, 8-dihydrocembrene C(1)、(1R, 2E, 4R, 7E, 11E)-cembra-2, 7, 11-triene-4-ol(2)、(-)-(2R, 7R, 8R)-sarcophytoxide(3)、entsarcophine(4)、sarcotenusene C(5)、(7S, 8S)-epoxy-1, 3, 11-cembratrien-16-oic methyl ester(6)、sarcophytonin B(7)、sarcoconvolutum D(8)、laevigatol A(9)、菜油甾醇(10)、(24S)-24-甲基胆甾醇(11) 和柳珊瑚甾醇(12)。并对分离的化合物进行了抗菌活性检测, 包括6种鱼类致病菌: 美人鱼发光杆菌Photobacterium damselae FP2244、耐土霉素的副乳房链球菌oxytetracycline-resistant Streptococcus parauberis SPOF3K、溶藻弧菌 Vibrio algaelyticus RZ53、杀鱼爱德华氏菌Edwardsiella piscicida TH1、杀鲑气单胞菌Aeromonas salraonicida AS42和无乳链球菌Streptococcus agalactiae WR10; 以及4株不同来源的人类致病菌: 耐万古霉素屎肠球菌vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis G1、G4、G7、G8的抗菌活性的检测。同时, 也对分离的部分化合物进行了抗细胞增殖活性检测。

豆荚软珊瑚作为软珊瑚中重要成员之一, 对其次级代谢产物进行化学和生物活性研究具有重大科学意义。本实验从豆荚软珊瑚Lobophytum sp.中分离到9个二萜类和3个甾体类化合物, 其中化合物8为首次从豆荚软珊瑚Lobophytum sp.分离得到。
本研究对分离的化合物进行了抗菌活性测试。结果表明, 化合物10对4株不同来源的耐万古霉素屎肠球菌具有较好的抑菌作用, 化合物345710对耐万古霉素屎肠球菌G7, 以及对鱼类致病菌美人鱼发光杆菌FP2244和耐土霉素的副乳房链球菌SPOF3K具有显著的抑制作用。此外, 化合物5对A549细胞表现出抗细胞增殖活性, 半抑制浓度(half maximal inhibitory concentration, IC50)为37.89µmol·L-1。据文献报道, 化合物1对人脐静脉内皮细胞HUVEC和人慢性髓系白血病细胞K-562具有抗增殖活性, IC50分别为(48.4±1.2)和(53.8± 3.9)µmol·L-1, 对宫颈癌细胞系HeLa具有细胞毒活性, IC50为(51.9±0.7)µmol·L-1(Shaker et al, 2010)。化合物4对脂多糖诱导的小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞中NO的产生具有抑制作用, IC50为(24±2)µmol·L-1 (Zhao et al, 2016)。化合物6对黑穗病菌的生长具有抑制作用, 抑菌浓度为50µg·mm-1(Matthée et al, 1998)。化合物8对人非小细胞肺癌细胞A549和人口腔鳞状肿瘤细胞HSC-2具有细胞毒活性, IC50分别为49.70µmol·L-1和53.17µmol·L-1(Mohamed et al, 2021)。化合物9对TNF-α诱导的HepG2细胞中NF-κB的转录活性具有剂量依赖性的抑制作用, IC50为9.4µmol·L-1(Quang et al, 2011)。对比化合物4578的结构及其抗肿瘤活性, 推测在C4位和C12位上的羟基取代可能增强了西松烷二萜对A549肿瘤细胞的抗增殖活性; 对比化合物34的结构, 它们C1、C2位构成的α, β-不饱和-γ-内酯环氧化程度是不同的, 推测C16位的羰基取代可能对西松烷二萜的抗肿瘤活性具有提升作用; 对比化合物3457的结构及抗菌活性结果, 推测在C1、C2位形成的α, β-不饱和-γ-内酯环可能增强了西松烷二萜的抗菌活性, 与活性最好的化合物7相比, 化合物345在C7和C8位形成的环氧结构对西松烷二萜的抗菌活性有降低作用。本研究在一定程度上丰富了豆荚软珊瑚Lobophytum sp.的化学多样性, 阐明了豆荚软珊瑚用于抵御细菌的化学防御物质基础, 为海洋来源的新型抗生素的挖掘提供了依据, 同时也对西松烷二萜类化合物与其抗肿瘤活性以及抗菌活性之间构效关系的研究提供了一定的参考价值。
