Inhibition of Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase by Cembranoid Diterpenes from Soft Coral Sinularia maxima: Enzyme Kinetics, Molecular Docking, and Molecular Dynamics. Mar Drugs 2024; 22:373. [PMID: 39195489 DOI: 10.3390/md22080373] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2024] [Revised: 08/16/2024] [Accepted: 08/16/2024] [Indexed: 08/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is essential for converting epoxy fatty acids, such as epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), into their dihydroxy forms. EETs play a crucial role in regulating blood pressure, mediating anti-inflammatory responses, and modulating pain, making sEH a key target for therapeutic interventions. Current research is increasingly focused on identifying sEH inhibitors from natural sources, particularly marine environments, which are rich in bioactive compounds due to their unique metabolic adaptations. In this study, the sEH inhibitory activities of ten cembranoid diterpenes (1-10) isolated from the soft coral Sinularia maxima were evaluated. Among them, compounds 3 and 9 exhibited considerable sEH inhibition, with IC50 values of 70.68 μM and 78.83 μM, respectively. Enzyme kinetics analysis revealed that these two active compounds inhibit sEH through a non-competitive mode. Additionally, in silico approaches, including molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations, confirmed their stability and interactions with sEH, highlighting their potential as natural therapeutic agents for managing cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases.

Evaluation of the novel endophytic fungus Chaetomium ascotrichoides 1-24-2 from Pinus massoniana as a biocontrol agent against pine wilt disease caused by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2024. [PMID: 38860543 DOI: 10.1002/ps.8205] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2024] [Revised: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, the causative agent of pine wilt disease (PWD), is an ever-increasing threat to Pinus forests worldwide. This study aimed to develop biological control of PWD by the application of endophytic fungi isolated from healthy pine trees. RESULTS We successfully isolated a novel endophytic fungal strain 1-24-2 from branches of healthy Pinus massoniana. The culture filtrates (CFs) of strain 1-24-2 exhibited strong nematicidal activity against Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, with a corrected mortality rate of 99.00%. Based on the morphological and molecular characteristics, the isolated strain 1-24-2 was identified as Chaetomium ascotrichoides. In the in-planta assay, pine seedlings (2-years-old) treated with 1-24-2 CFs + pine wood nematode (T2) showed a significant control effect of 80%. A total of 24 toxic compounds were first identified from 1-24-2 CFs through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, from which O-methylisourea, 2-chlorobenzothiazole, and 4,5,6-trihydroxy-7-methylphthalide showed robust binding sites at Tyr119 against phosphoethanolamine methyltransferase (PMT) protein of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus by molecular docking approach and could be used as potential compounds for developing effective nematicides. Interestingly, strain 1-24-2 produces toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which disturb the natural development process of B. xylophilus, whose total number decreased by up to 83.32% in the treatment group as compared to control and also reduced Botrytis cinerea growth by up to 71.01%. CONCLUSION Our results highlight the potential of C. ascotrichoides 1-24-2 as a promising biocontrol agent with solid nematicidal activity against B. xylophilus. This is the first report of C. ascotrichoides isolated from P. massoniana exhibiting strong biocontrol potential against B. xylophilus in the world. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Braz J Microbiol 2023; 54:1983-2000. [PMID: 37402057 PMCID: PMC10485234 DOI: 10.1007/s42770-023-01049-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Marine-derived fungi have attracted much attention due to their ability to present a new biosynthetic diversity. About 50 fungal isolates were obtained from Tunisian Mediterranean seawater and then screened for the presence of lignin-peroxidase (LiP), manganese-dependent peroxidase (MnP), and laccase (Lac) activities. The results obtained from both qualitative and quantitative assays showed that four of marine fungi isolates had a high potential to produce lignin-degrading enzymes. They were characterized taxonomically by a molecular method, based on international spacer (ITS) rDNA sequence analysis, as Chaetomium jodhpurense (MH667651.1), Chaetomium maderasense (MH665977.1), Paraconiothyrium variabile (MH667653.1), and Phoma betae (MH667655.1) which have been reported as producers of ligninolytic enzyme in the literature. The enzymatic activities and culture conditions were optimized using a Fractional Factorial design (2 7- 4). Then, fungal strains were incubated with the addition of 1% of crude oil in 50% of seawater for 25 days to evaluate their abilities to simultaneously degrade hydrocarbon compounds and to produce ligninolytic enzymes. The strain P. variabile exhibited the highest crude oil degradation rate (48.3%). Significant production of ligninolytic enzymes was recorded during the degradation process, which reached 2730 U/L for the MnP, 410 U/L for LiP, and 168.5 U/L for Lac. The FTIR and GC-MS analysis confirmed that the isolates rapidly biodegrade crude oil under ecological and economic conditions.

Abstract
Punctaporonins T (1) and U (2), new caryophyllene sesquiterpenes, were isolated with three known punctaporonins, A (3), B (4), and C (5), from the endophytic fungus Chaetomium globosum (TC2-041). The structures and relative configurations of punctaporonins T and U were elucidated based on a combination of HRESIMS, 1D/2D NMR spectroscopic analysis, and X-ray diffraction analysis, while their absolute configuration is presumed to be consistent with the co-isolated 3-5 on biogenetic arguments. Compound 1 showed weak inhibitory activity against both Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract
Three diphenyl ethers (1-3) and a cyclopentenone (4), together with seven known compounds (5-11), were isolated from the fermentation broth of the marine sediment-derived fungus Spiromastix sp. SCSIO F190. Compounds 3 and 4 were found to exist as a pair of atropisomers (3a, 3b) and racemates (4a, 4b), respectively. The planar structures of compounds 1-4 were elucidated on the basis of NMR and HRESIMS data sets. The absolute configurations of 2 and 3 were determined by spectroscopic and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, whereas the configuration of 4 was determined by spectroscopic and chiral analyses. All compounds, except for 4 and 11, displayed activities against various pathogenic bacteria. Notably, compounds 1-4, especially 1, exhibited strong activity against Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant bacterial strains of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, and Bacillus subtilis BS01, with MIC values ranging from 0.5 to 4 μg/mL. Moreover, the structure-activity relationship analyses of the active compounds and their analogues revealed the critical structural features correlating to the observed antimicrobial activities, herein providing insights for antimicrobial drug development.
