Abstract

We aim to study the secondary metabolites from the South China Sea soft coral-derived fungus Eupenicillium sp. DX-SER3 (KC871024). The rice fermentation products of the strain were purified by comprehensive chromatography methods of silica gel column, medium pressure preparative liquid chromatography (MPLC), ostade-cylsilane (ODS), and semi- preparative HPLC. The compounds’ structures were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, and comparison with the reported data. Five known compounds were obtained and identified as helvolic acid, β-adenosine, 2'-deoxythymidine, N-acyltryptamine, and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde. The high yield of the helvolic acid indicates that this strain has the potential to develop an engineered strain of this kind of compound. Helvolic acid was also tested for the activities of phytopathogenic fungus, and the result was not clear.

Key words： South China Sea; soft coral; Eupenicillium sp.; secondary metabolites

广阔的海洋孕育着极其丰富的生物资源, 作为一种常见的海洋无脊椎动物, 软珊瑚及其共附生微生物已经成为海洋天然产物研究的重要对象(邢倩, 2014)。随着微生物采集技术、化合物分离纯化及波谱解析技术的进步, 越来越多的海洋天然产物的化学结构得以被发现并解析, 并且成为药物先导化合物的重要来源(Li et al, 2015), 具有良好的生物活性, 如抗菌、抗肿瘤、抗污等(田永奇 等, 2017)。青霉属(Penicillium)是海洋真菌的第二大种类, 属于子囊菌亚门, 不整囊菌纲, 散囊菌目, 散囊菌科, 也是海洋天然产物的重要源泉。正青霉属(Eupenicillium sp.)是青霉属真菌的一个重要分支, 目前国内外对从软珊瑚来源的正青霉属真菌还未有深入研究, 其次级代谢产物研究也报道较少。
Zheng等(2018)从红树林来源真菌Eupenicillium sp. HJ002中分离得到3个新型吲哚二萜类化合物penicilindoles A~C, 其中penicilindole A 对A549与HepG2肿瘤细胞具抑制活性, 50%抑菌浓度(IC50)值分别为5.5μM和1.5μM; Gu等(2018)从海绵来源真菌Eupenicillium sp. 6A-9中分离得到比较罕见的萜类成分eupeniacetal A、eupeniacetal B、1-oxymethyl- hydropreaustinoid A1、hydroberkeleyone B和22-deoxy-10-ketominiolutelide B, 这些化合物均显示出对TNF-α产物诱导THP-1细胞系凋亡的抑制活性, 但对正常肿瘤细胞系无明显活性; Li等(2017)从植物内生真菌分出的Eupenicillium sp. LG41中分离得到十氢化萘类结构eupenicinicols C和D, eupenicinicols D显示出抗金黄色葡萄球菌活性。本文报道了从中国南海软珊瑚来源真菌Eupenicillium sp.的大米发酵产物中分离的5个化合物(图1)。

3 讨论

本课题组从南海软珊瑚真菌Eupenicillium sp.大米发酵产物中分离鉴定了5个化合物, 包含1个抗生素(烟曲霉酸)、1个吲哚生物碱(N-acyltryptamine)、2个核苷酸和1个含苯衍生物。菌株Eupenicillium sp. SCSIO41205是从三沙市七连屿附近海域采集的短指软珊瑚中分离的一株真菌, 通过HPLC分析和代谢产物的分离, 发现该菌的大米固体发酵液中代谢产物十分单一, 主要产物为烟曲霉酸, 含量很高, 从8kg大米固体发酵液中得到1.2g。Chain等(1943)从100L烟曲霉菌的液体培养基中分得烟曲霉酸0.4g; Ratnaweera等(2014)从2.25L炭角菌的PDA液体培养基中分得烟曲霉酸3mg; Sanmanoch等(2016)从10L新萨托菌属的MB液体培养基中分得烟曲霉酸0.2g。本文研究真菌正青霉属分得烟曲霉酸含量远远高于其他菌属, 且易于分离, 因此该菌株可以作为生产烟曲霉酸的工业菌株。烟曲霉酸因具有良好的抗菌活性和显著的抗肿瘤活性而受到广泛关注。据报道, 烟曲霉酸于1942年首次从烟曲霉菌Aspergillus fumigatus代谢产物中分离得到并命名(Chain et al, 1943)。Xiao等(2017)从冬虫夏草分离到的烟曲霉酸对不同人体癌细胞(胰腺、子宫、肝脏、肺)显示出有效抑制活性, 并且10mg•kg-1剂量烟曲霉酸结合20mg•kg-1环磷酰胺在体外展现较强抗癌活性的协同作用, 其肿瘤生长抑制率达到70.90%。Luo等(2017)从深海曲霉真菌Aspergillus sp. SCSIO Ind09F01中分离得到的烟曲霉酸具有抗痨作用, 并对结核杆菌有非常强的抑制活性, 50%最低抑菌浓度(MIC50)值小于0.894μM。作为一种抑菌剂, Sanmanoch等(2016)从新萨托土壤真菌Neosartorya spinosa KKU-1NK1乙酸乙酯提取部位分离得到的烟曲霉酸测试了对革兰氏阳性菌与阴性菌的抑制活性, 结果对革兰氏阳性致病菌株包括耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌DMST 20654、金黄色葡萄球菌ATCC 25923、腐生葡萄球菌ATCC 15305、肺炎链球菌DMST 15319、粪肠球菌ATCC 29212、枯草芽孢杆菌ATCC 6633和阴性致病菌株包括青枯雷尔氏菌、野油菜黄单胞菌vesicatoria都具有抑制活性, 其最小抑菌浓度(MIC)值都在16~32μg•mL-1范围内。Ratnaweera等(2014)通过色谱层析法从植物内生真菌炭角菌中分离得到的烟曲霉酸对革兰氏阳性菌枯草杆菌与抗药性金黄色葡萄球菌具有抑制活性, 其MIC值分别为2μg•mL-1与4μg•mL-1。此外有文献报道该化合物对胆固醇的累积有一定抑制作用(Shinohara et al, 1993)。为了探讨该化合物在农用抗菌的应用潜力, 我们通过纸片法测试该化合物对5种植物致病菌(水稻稻瘟菌Pyricularia oryzae Cav、芒果炭疽菌C. asianum T0408、橡胶炭疽菌C. gloeosporioides RC178、香蕉枯萎杆菌F. oxysporum f. sp. cubense race 4、薯蓣炭疽菌C. gloeosporioides Cg9)的抑制活性, 结果该化合物并不显示抑制活性。
正青霉菌来源较为广泛, 从植物来源包含植物外皮组织、植物根茎与种子, 动物来源, 土壤来源以及其他来源如其他真菌代谢与衍生物等都可获得。其中以土壤来源和植物组织中来源正青霉属种类最多(季波 等, 2017)。本文研究软珊瑚来源正青霉属真菌除烟曲霉酸外, 包含的两个核苷酸和一个含苯衍生物在自然界中都较为常见, 以及一个吲哚生物碱N-acyltryptamine。Oleinikova等(2006)中发现N-acyltryptamine具有微弱抗Erlich肿瘤细胞活性和溶血活性, 而在破坏深海海胆S. intermedius卵细胞膜与精子细胞膜实验中没有展现出活性, MIC大于50μg•mL-1。

Journal of Natural Products, 80(4): 983-988.An endophytic fungus, Eupenicillium sp. LG41, isolated from the Chinese medicinal plant Xanthium sibiricum, was subjected to epigenetic modulation using an NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, nicotinamide. Epigenetic stimulation of the endophyte led to enhanced production of two new decalin-containing compounds, eupenicinicols C and D (3 and 4), along with two biosynthetically related known compounds, eujavanicol A (1) and eupenicinicol A (2). The structures and stereochemistry of the new compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis using LC-HRMS, NMR, optical rotation, and ECD calculations, as well as single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds 3 and 4 exist in chemical equilibrium with two and three cis/trans isomers, respectively, as revealed by LC-MS analysis. Compound 4 was active against Staphylococcus aureus with an MIC of 0.1 g/mL and demonstrated marked cytotoxicity against the human acute monocytic leukemia cell line (THP-1). We have shown that the HDAC inhibit...

Marine Drugs, 13(5): 2694-2713.Marine natural products are a rich source of novel and biologically active compounds. The number of identified marine natural compounds has grown 20% over the last five years from 2009 to 2013. Several challenges, including sample collection and structure elucidation, have limited the development of this research field. Nonetheless, new approaches, such as sampling strategies for organisms from extreme ocean environments, nanoscale NMR and computational chemistry for structural determination, are now available to overcome the barriers. In this review, we highlight the experimental technology innovations in the field of marine natural products, which in our view will lead to the development of many new drugs in the future.

Natural Product Research, 31(16): 1958-1962.Eleven diketopiperazine and fumiquinazoline alkaloids (1-11) together with a tetracyclic triterpenoid helvolic acid (12) were obtained from the cultures of a deep-sea derived fungus Aspergillus sp. SCSIO Ind09F01. The structures of these compounds (1-12) were determined mainly by the extensive NMR, ESIMS spectra data and by comparison with previously described compounds. Besides, anti-tuberculosis, cytotoxic, antibacterial, COX-2 inhibitory and antiviral activities of these compounds were evaluated. Gliotoxin (3), 12,13-dihydroxy-fumitremorgin C (11) and helvolic acid (12) exhibited very strong anti-tuberculosis activity towards Mycobacterium tuberculosis with the prominent MIC50 values of <0.03, 2.41 and 0.894M, respectively, which was here reported for the first time. Meanwhile gliotoxin also displayed significant selective cytotoxicities against K562, A549 and Huh-7 cell lines with the IC50 values of 0.191, 0.015 and 95.4M, respectively. [GRAPHICS] .

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 242(2): 214-222.Abstract The antibacterial agent helvolic acid, which was isolated from the active antitumor fraction of Cordyceps taii, showed potent cytotoxicity against different human cancer cells. In the present study, the in0002vivo antitumor effect of helvolic acid was investigated in murine sarcoma S180 tumor-bearing mice. Doses of 10 and 20090009mg/kg/day helvolic acid did not exert significant antitumor activity. Interestingly, co-administration of 10090009mg/kg/day helvolic acid and 20090009mg/kg/day cyclophosphamide (CTX) - a well-known chemotherapy drug - showed promising antitumor activity with a growth inhibitory rate of 70.90%, which was much higher than that of CTX alone (19.5%). Furthermore, the combination markedly prolonged the survival of tumor-bearing mice. In addition, helvolic acid enhanced the immune organ index. The protein expression levels of 0205-catenin, cyclin D1, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen were significantly suppressed in mice treated with 20090009mg/kg/day helvolic acid and in those receiving combination therapy. Taken together, these results indicated that helvolic acid in combination with CTX showed potent in0002vivo synergistic antitumor efficacy, and its mechanism of action may involve the Wnt/ 0205-catenin signaling pathway.

Journal of Natural Products, 81(4): 1045-1049.Abstract Three new indole diterpenes, penicilindoles A-C (1-3), were isolated from the mangrove-derived fungus Eupenicillium sp. HJ002. Their planar structures and absolute configurations were determined by interpretation of NMR spectroscopic data, HR-ESIMS, and X-ray diffraction analysis using Cu Kα radiation. The cytotoxic and antibacterial activities were evaluated in vitro; penicilindole A (1) showed cytotoxic activity against human A549 and HepG2 cell lines with IC 50 values of 5.5 and 1.5 μM, respectively.
