Abstract
Covering: up to 2023Short-chain dehydrogenase/reductases (SDR) are known to catalyze the regio- and stereoselective reduction of a variety of substrate types. Investigations of the deoxygenation of emodin to chrysophanol has led to the discovery of the anthrol reductase activity of an SDR, MdpC involved in monodictyphenone biosynthesis of Aspergillus nidulans and provided access to (R)-dihydroanthracenone, a putative biosynthetic intermediate. This facilitated the identification of several MdpC-related enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of aflatoxins B1, cladofulvin, neosartorin, agnestins and bisanthraquinones. Because of their ability to catalyze the reduction of hydroanthraquinone (anthrols) using NADPH, they were named anthrol reductases. This review provides a comprehensive summary of all the anthrol reductases that have been identified and characterized in the last decade along with their role in the biosynthesis of natural products. In addition, the applications of these enzymes towards the chemoenzymatic synthesis of flavoskyrins, modified bisanthraquinones, 3-deoxy anthraquinones, chiral cycloketones and β-halohydrins have been discussed.

[PMID: 36978912 PMCID: PMC10044725 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12030664] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 03/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Tectona grandis is a traditional Dai medicine plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family, which can be used to treat malaria, inflammation, diabetes, liver disease, bronchitis, tumors, cholelithiasis, jaundice, skin disease and as an anti-helminthic. To find more novel therapeutic agents contained in this medicinal plant, the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic activities of T. grandis methanolic extract, fractions and compounds were evaluated. In this study, 26 compounds were isolated from the leaves and branches of T. grandis. Their structures were identified based on extensive spectral experiments, including NMR, ESI-MS and comparison with published spectral data. Among them, compounds 1–2, 4–6, 9–14 and 16–22 were reported for the first time for this plant. The antioxidant activity screening results showed that compounds 5, 15 and 23 had potent antioxidant capacities, with SC50 values from 0.32 to 9.92 µmol/L, 0.92 to 1.10 mmol Trolox/L and 1.02 to 1.22 mmol Trolox/L for DPPH, ABTS and FRAP, respectively. In addition, their anti-inflammatory effects were investigated by releasing TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 through the use of mouse monocytic macrophages (RAW 264.7). Compounds 1, 13, 18 and 23 had the effects of reducing the expression of inflammatory factors. Compounds 13 and 18 were reported for the first time for their anti-inflammatory activities. Furthermore, the methanolic extract (ME), petroleum ether extract (PEE) and EtOAc extract (EAE) of T. grandis showed significant glucose uptake activities; compounds 21 and 23 significantly promoted glucose uptake of 3T3-L1 adipocytes at 40 µM. Meanwhile, compounds 4, 5 and 7 showed significant inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase, with IC50 values of 14.16 ± 0.34 µmol/L, 19.29 ± 0.26 µmol/L and 3.04 ± 0.08 µmol/L, respectively. Compounds 4 and 5 were reported for the first time for their α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. Our investigation explored the possible therapeutic material basis of T. grandis to prevent oxidative stress and related diseases, especially inflammation and diabetes.

Abstract
Secondary metabolites produced by the ascomycetes have attracted wide attention from researchers. Their diverse chemical structures and rich biological activities are essential in medicine, food, and agriculture. The monophyletic Nigrospora genus belongs to the Apiosporaceae family and is a rich source of novel and diverse bioactive metabolites. It occurs as a common plant pathogen, endophyte, and saprobe distributed in many ecosystems worldwide. Researchers have focused on discovering new species and secondary metabolites in the past ten years. The host diseases caused by Nigrospora species are also investigated. This review describes 50 references from Web of Science, CNKI, Google Scholar and PubMed related to the secondary metabolites from Nigrospora. Here, a total of 231 compounds isolated from five known species and 21 unidentified species of Nigrospora from January 1991 to June 2022 are summarized. Their structures are attributed to polyketides, terpenoids, steroids, N-containing compounds, and fatty acids. Meanwhile, 77 metabolites exhibited various biological activities like cytotoxic, antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antileukemic, antimalarial, phytotoxic, enzyme inhibitory, etc. Notably, this review presents a comprehensive literature survey focusing on the chemistry and bioactivity of secondary metabolites from Nigrospora.

J Fungi (Basel) 2022; 8:jof8030248. [PMID: 35330250 PMCID: PMC8955275 DOI: 10.3390/jof8030248] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2022] [Revised: 02/17/2022] [Accepted: 02/17/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Xylariales are common endophytes of Dendrobium. However, xylarialean species resolution remains difficult without sequence data and poor sporulation on artificial media and asexual descriptions for only several species and old type material. The surface-sterilized and morph-molecular methods were used for fungal isolation and identification. A total of forty-seven strains were identified as twenty-three species belonging to Apiosporaceae, Hypoxylaceae, Induratiaceae, and Xylariaceae. Five new species—Annulohypoxylon moniliformis, Apiospora dendrobii, Hypoxylon endophyticum, H. officinalis and Nemania dendrobii were discovered. Three tentative new species were speculated in Xylaria. Thirteen known fungal species from Hypoxylon, Nemania, Nigrospora, and Xylaria were also identified. Another two strains were only identified at the genus and family level (Induratia sp., Hypoxylaceae sp.). This study recorded 12 new hosts for xylarialean endophytes. This is the first report of Xylariales species as endophytes from Dendrobium aurantiacum var. denneanum, D. cariniferum, D. harveyanum, D. hercoglossum, D. moniliforme, and D. moschatum. Dendrobium is associated with abundant xylarialean taxa, especially species of Hypoxylon and Xylaria. We recommend the use of oat agar with low concentrations to induce sporulation of Xylaria strains.

Abstract
The detailed chemical analysis of the methanol extract of Meripilus giganteus (Pers.) P. Karst. led to the isolation of two new cerebrosides, mericeramides A (1) and B (2) together with cerebroside B (3), ergosterol (4), 3β-hydroxyergosta-7,22-diene (5), cerevisterol (6), 3β-hydroxyergosta-6,8(14),22-triene (7), 3β-O-glucopyranosyl-5,8-epidioxyergosta-6,22-diene (8) and (11E,13E)-9,10-dihydroxy-11,13-octadecadienoic acid (9). The structures of the compounds were determined on the basis of NMR and MS spectroscopic analysis. Mericeramide A (1) is the first representative of halogenated natural cerebrosides. The isolated fungal metabolites 1-9 were evaluated for their antioxidant activity using the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay. Compounds 2, 5 and 9 proved to possess considerable antioxidant effects, with 2.50 ± 0.29, 4.94 ± 0.37 and 4.27 ± 0.05 mmol TE/g values, respectively. The result obtained gives a notable addition to the chemical and bioactivity profile of M. giganteus, highlighting the possible contribution of this species to a versatile and balanced diet.

Abstract
The chemical study on the heartwoods extract of Ventilago harmandiana (Rhamnaceae) resulted in the isolation of ten previously undescribed pyranonaphthoquinones (ventilanones A-J), an undescribed anthraquinone (ventilanone K), together with eight known anthraquinone derivatives. Their structures were elucidated by extensive analysis of their spectroscopic data. The absolute configuration of ventilanone A was established from single crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis of its p-bromobenzenesulfonate ester derivative using Cu Kα radiation. The absolute configurations of the other related compounds were identified by comparison of their ECD data with those of ventilanone A and related known compounds. Cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory activities of some of the isolated compounds were evaluated. Ventilanone A and ventilanone C exhibited moderate cytotoxicity against P-388 cell line. Ventilanone D exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity while ventilanone A and ventilanone C showed moderate activity.

Abstract
Fractionation and purification of the ethyl acetate extract of Diaporthe lithocarpus, an endophytic fungus from the leaves of Artocarpus heterophyllus, yielded one new compound, diaporthindoic acid (1), along with seven known compounds (2-8). The new compound was characterized and established by the basis of extensive spectroscopic methods including NMR (1D and 2D) and HRMS. Compound 6 showed the best citotoxicity against murine leukemia P-388 cells with an IC50 value of 0.41 μg/mL. All compounds (1-8) were also tested for their antimicrobial activities. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first chemical evaluation of fungal Diaporthe derived from Artocarpus.

Assembling a plug-and-play production line for combinatorial biosynthesis of aromatic polyketides in Escherichia coli. PLoS Biol 2019; 17:e3000347. [PMID: 31318855 PMCID: PMC6638757 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.3000347] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2019] [Accepted: 06/14/2019] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Polyketides are a class of specialised metabolites synthesised by both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. These chemically and structurally diverse molecules are heavily used in the clinic and include frontline antimicrobial and anticancer drugs such as erythromycin and doxorubicin. To replenish the clinicians' diminishing arsenal of bioactive molecules, a promising strategy aims at transferring polyketide biosynthetic pathways from their native producers into the biotechnologically desirable host Escherichia coli. This approach has been successful for type I modular polyketide synthases (PKSs); however, despite more than 3 decades of research, the large and important group of type II PKSs has until now been elusive in E. coli. Here, we report on a versatile polyketide biosynthesis pipeline, based on identification of E. coli-compatible type II PKSs. We successfully express 5 ketosynthase (KS) and chain length factor (CLF) pairs-e.g., from Photorhabdus luminescens TT01, Streptomyces resistomycificus, Streptoccocus sp. GMD2S, Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea, and Ktedonobacter racemifer-as soluble heterodimeric recombinant proteins in E. coli for the first time. We define the anthraquinone minimal PKS components and utilise this biosynthetic system to synthesise anthraquinones, dianthrones, and benzoisochromanequinones (BIQs). Furthermore, we demonstrate the tolerance and promiscuity of the anthraquinone heterologous biosynthetic pathway in E. coli to act as genetically applicable plug-and-play scaffold, showing it to function successfully when combined with enzymes from phylogenetically distant species, endophytic fungi and plants, which resulted in 2 new-to-nature compounds, neomedicamycin and neochaetomycin. This work enables plug-and-play combinatorial biosynthesis of aromatic polyketides using bacterial type II PKSs in E. coli, providing full access to its many advantages in terms of easy and fast genetic manipulation, accessibility for high-throughput robotics, and convenient biotechnological scale-up. Using the synthetic and systems biology toolbox, this plug-and-play biosynthetic platform can serve as an engine for the production of new and diversified bioactive polyketides in an automated, rapid, and versatile fashion.

Antimicrobial anthraquinones from cultures of the ant pathogenic fungus Cordyceps morakotii BCC 56811. J Antibiot (Tokyo) 2019; 72:141-147. [PMID: 30622295 DOI: 10.1038/s41429-018-0135-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2018] [Revised: 11/29/2018] [Accepted: 12/13/2018] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
Five new anthraquinones, morakotins A-E (1-5), together with seven known compounds, lunatin (6), rheoemodin (7), YM187781 (8), bislunatin (9), 6-(1-hydroxypentyl)-4-methoxypyran-2-one, 9,11-dehydoergrosterol peroxide, and cerevisterol, were isolated from the insect pathogenic fungus Cordyceps morakotii BCC 56811. The morakotin structures were elucidated from NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometric data. The absolute configurations of bianthraquinone compounds, morakotins C-E (3-5), were determined by application of the exciton chirality method. Compounds 3, 7, 8, and 9 showed weak to moderate antimycobacterial and antifungal activities. Compounds 4 and 8 exhibited antibacterial activity against both Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus (MIC 3.13-25 µg ml-1), whereas compounds 3 and 9 were active against B. cereus (MIC 12.5 and 3.13 µg ml-1, respectively), and compound 7 was active against Acinetobacter baumannii (MIC 12.5 µg ml-1).
