Abstract
The genus Claviceps (Clavicipitaceae) is famous for producing ergot alkaloids (EAs) in sclerotia. EAs can cause ergotism, resulting in convulsions and necrosis when ingested, making these compounds a serious concern for food safety. Agroclavine (2), a typical Clavine-type EA, is a causative agent of ergotism and is listed as a compound to be monitored by the European Food Safety Authority. Clavine-type EAs are known to cause cytotoxicity, but the mechanism has not been elucidated. We performed annexin V and PI double-staining followed by flow cytometric analysis to detect apoptosis in HepG2 and PANC-1 cells after exposure to Clavine-type EAs. Clavine-type EAs reduced cell viability and induced apoptosis in both cell lines. We then performed LC-MS analysis of EAs from 41 sclerotia samples of Claviceps collected in Japan. 24 out of 41 sclerotia extracts include peptide-type EAs (ergosine/inine: 4/4', ergotamine: 5, ergocornine/inine: 6/6', α-ergocryptine/inine: 8/8', and ergocristine/inine: 9/9') and 19 sclerotia extracts among 24 sclerotia detected peptide type EAs include Clavine-type EAs (pyroclavine: 1, agroclavine: 2, festuclavine: 3) by LC-MS. We then performed a metabolomic analysis of the EAs in the sclerotia using principal component analysis (PCA). The PCA score plots calculated for EAs suggested the existence of four groups with different EA production patterns. One of the groups was formed by the contribution of Clavine-type EAs. These results suggest that Clavine-type EAs are a family of compounds requiring attention in food safety and livestock production in Japan.

Abstract
The degradation behavior of eight tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs; amitriptyline, amoxapine (AMX), imipramine, clomipramine, desipramine, doxepin, dothiepin, and nortriptyline) in artificial gastric juice was investigated to estimate their pharmacokinetics in the stomach. As a result, among the eight TCAs, only AMX was degraded in artificial gastric juice. The degradation was a pseudo first-order reaction; activation energy (Ea) was 88.70 kJ/mol and activation entropy (ΔS) was -80.73 J/K·mol. On the other hand, the recovery experiment revealed that the degradation product did not revert to AMX and accordingly, this reaction was considered to be irreversible. In the AMX degradation experiment, peaks considered to be degradation products A (I) and B (II) were detected at retention times of around 3 min and 30 min in LC/UV measurements, respectively. Structural analysis revealed that compound (I) was [2-(2-aminophenoxy)-5-chlorophenyl]-piperazin-1-yl-methanone, a new compound, and compound (II) was 2-chlorodibenzo[b,f][1,4]oxazepin-11(10H)-one. As for the degradation behavior, it was estimated that AMX was degraded into (II) via (I), i.e., (II) was the final product. The results are expected to be useful in clinical chemistry and forensic science, including the estimation of drugs to be used at the time of judicial dissection and suspected drug addiction.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Berberine (BBR) is a protoberberine alkaloid extracted from plants such as Coptis japonica (Ranunculaceae). In a previous report, we demonstrated the existence of a 11-hydroxylation pathway employed by BBR-utilizing bacteria for metabolism of BBR. In the present study, we report the identification of the genes brhA, brhB, and brhC as encoding a multicomponent BBR 11-hydroxylase in Burkholderia sp. strain CJ1. BrhA is belonging to the Rieske non-heme iron oxygenase (RO) family, a class of enzymes known to catalyze the first step in bacterial aromatic-ring hydroxylation. We further demonstrate that BrhA activity requires BrhB (ferredoxin reductase) and BrhC (ferredoxin) as electron transport chain components. A BLAST search revealed that BrhA exhibits 38% and 33% sequence identity to dicamba O-demethylase (DdmC; AY786443) and chloroacetanilide herbicides N-dealkylase (CndA; KJ461679), respectively. To our knowledge, this work represents the first report of a bacterial oxygenase catalyzing the metabolism of a polycyclic aromatic-ring alkaloid.

Shimalactone Biosynthesis Involves Spontaneous Double Bicyclo-Ring Formation with 8π-6π Electrocyclization. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2020; 59:8464-8470.

Abstract
Shimalactones A and B are neuritogenic polyketides possessing characteristic oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane and bicyclo[4.2.0]octadiene ring systems that are produced by the marine fungus Emericella variecolor GF10. We identified a candidate biosynthetic gene cluster and conducted heterologous expression analysis. Expression of ShmA polyketide synthase in Aspergillus oryzae resulted in the production of preshimalactone. Aspergillus oryzae and Saccharomyces cerevisiae transformants expressing ShmA and ShmB produced shimalactones A and B, thus suggesting that the double bicyclo-ring formation reactions proceed non-enzymatically from preshimalactone epoxide. DFT calculations strongly support the idea that oxabicyclo-ring formation and 8π-6π electrocyclization proceed spontaneously after opening of the preshimalactone epoxide ring through protonation. We confirmed the formation of preshimalactone epoxide in vitro, followed by its non-enzymatic conversion to shimalactones in the dark.

1H NMR-based metabolomic analysis coupled with reversed-phase solid-phase extraction for sample preparation of Saposhnikovia roots and related crude drugs. J Nat Med 2019; 74:65-75.

Abstract
1H NMR-based metabolomics has been applied in research on food, herbal medicine, and natural products. Although excellent results were reported, samples were directly extracted with a deuterated solvent (e.g., methanol-d4 or D2O) in most reports. As primary metabolites account for most of the results, data for secondary metabolites are partially reflected. Consequently, secondary metabolites tend to be excluded from factor loading analysis, serving as a significant unfavorable feature of 1H NMR-based metabolomics when investigating biologically active or functional components in natural products and health foods. Reversed-phase solid-phase extraction column (RP-SPEC) was applied for sample preparation in 1H NMR-based metabolomics to overcome this feature. The methanol extract from Saposhnikoviae radix (SR), an important crude drug, was fractionated with RP-SPEC into 5% methanol-eluting fractions, and the remaining fraction was collected. Each fraction was subjected to 1H NMR-based metabolomics and compared to results from conventional 1H NMR-based metabolomics. Based on principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares projections to latent structures discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), the 5% methanol fraction and conventional method reflected the amount of saccharides such as sucrose on the PC1/PLS1 axes, and wild and cultivated samples were discriminated along those axes. The remaining fraction clearly distinguished SR from Peucedanum ledebourielloides root. The compounds responsible for this discrimination were deemed falcarindiol derivatives and other unidentified secondary metabolites from the s-plot on PLS-DA. The secondary metabolites from original plants were, therefore, presumed to be concentrated in the remaining fraction by RP-SPEC treatment and strongly reflected the species differences. The developed series is considered effective to perform quality evaluation of crude drugs and natural products.

Abstract
This research examined the production of fungal metabolites as a biological response to Kampo medicines. Shimbu-to (SMB) is a Kampo medicine composed of five herbal components: peony root (Shakuyaku), ginger (Shokyo), processed aconite root (Bushi), Poria sclerotium (Bukuryo), and Atractylodes lancea rhizomes (Sojutsu). High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of the fungus Aspergillus nidulans CBS 112.46 incubated in potato dextrose broth supplemented with SMB extract revealed emericellin (2) as the major peak and new xanthone analogues 24-hydroxyshamixanthone (1), shamixanthone (3), epishamixanthone (4), pre-shamixanthone (5), and variecoxanthone A (6) as minor peaks. The structure of 1 was determined by detailed analysis of 1D-NMR, 2D-NMR, and MS data. The results suggest that SMB extract regulates the biosynthesis of emericellin and its analogues in A. nidulans. Further investigations revealed that glucose induces the biosynthesis of emericellin and its analogues in A. nidulans in a concentration-dependent manner.

Abstract
Plants produce many specific secondary metabolites as a response to environmental stress, especially biological stress. These compounds show strong biological activities and high stability against degradation by microbes and animals. Berberine, a benzylisoquinoline alkaloid, is found in many plant species and has strong antimicrobial activity, and is often included in traditional herbal medicines. We previously investigated how berberine is degraded in nature and we isolated two berberine-utilizing bacteria. In this study, we characterized the gene encoding the enzyme that degrades the 2,3-methylenedioxy ring of berberine; this ring is important for its activity and stability. Further characterization of several other berberine-utilizing bacteria and the genes encoding key demethylenation enzymes revealed that these enzymes are tetrahydrofolate dependent and similar to demethylation enzymes such as GcvT. Because the degradation of O-methyl groups or the methylenedioxy ring in phenolic compounds such as lignin, lignan and many other natural products, including berberine, is the key step for the catabolism of these compounds, our discovery reveals the common origin of the catabolism of these stable chemicals in bacteria.

Abstract
To construct a model formula to evaluate the thermogenetic effect of ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) from the ingredient information, we established transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype 1 (TRPV1)-stimulating activity prediction models by using a partial least-squares projections to latent structures (PLS) regression analysis in which the ingredient data from liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) and the stimulating activity values for TRPV1 receptor were used as explanatory and objective variables, respectively. By optimizing the peak extraction condition of the LC-HRMS data and the data preprocessing parameters of the PLS regression analysis, we succeeded in the construction of a TRPV1-stimulating activity prediction model with high precision ability. We then searched for the components responsible for the TRPV1-stimulating activity by analyzing the loading plot and s-plot of the model, and we identified [6]-gingerol (1) and hexahydrocurcumin (3) as TRPV1-stimulating activity components.

Abstract
Based on the finding of a novel berberine (BBR)-utilizing bacterium, Rhodococcus sp. strain BD7100, we investigated the degradation of BBR and its analog berberrubine (BRU). Resting cells of BD7100 demethylenated BBR and BRU, yielding benzeneacetic acid analogs. Isolation of benzeneacetic acid analogs suggested that BD7100 degraded the isoquinoline ring of the protoberberine skeleton. This work represents the first report of cleavage of protoberberine skeleton by a microorganism.

Abstract
Protoberberine alkaloids, including berberine, palmatine, and berberrubine, are produced by medicinal plants and are known to have various pharmacological effects. We isolated two berberine-utilizing bacteria, Sphingobium sp. strain BD3100 and Rhodococcus sp. strain BD7100, from soil collected at a natural medicine factory. BD3100 had the unique ability to utilize berberine or palmatine as the sole carbon and energy source. BD3100 produced demethyleneberberine in berberine-supplemented medium. In a resting-cell incubation with berberine, BD3100 produced 11-hydroxyberberine; the structure of 11-hydroxyberberine was determined by detailed analysis of NMR and MS spectroscopic data. α-Naphthoflavone, miconazole, and ketoconazole, which are known inhibitors of cytochrome P450, interfered with BD3100 metabolism of berberine in resting cells. Inhibition by miconazole led to the production of a new compound, 11-hydroxydemethyleneberberine. In a resting-cell incubation with palmatine, BD3100 generated 11-hydroxypalmatine. This work represents the first report of the isolation and characterization of novel berberine-utilizing aerobic bacteria for the production of 11-hydroxylation derivatives of berberine and palmatine.

Abstract
Talaromyces stipitatus ATCC 10500 possesses 17 non-reducing polyketide synthase (NR-PKS) genes. During the course of our functional analysis of PKS genes with a C-terminus methyltransferase domain from T. stipitatus, we expressed tspks2, tspks3 and tspks4 genes in the heterologous host Aspergillus oryzae, respectively. Although the tspks4 transformant gave no apparent product in HPLC analysis, a novel azaphilone pentaketide (3) was identified along with two known related products from the tspks2 transformant. Of four hexaketide products from the tspks3 transformant, two new compounds were identified to be 2-acetyl-7-methyl-3,6,8-trihydroxynaphthalene (4) and its derivative fused with α-methyl-α,β-unsaturated γ-lactone (7).

Abstract
Spirotryprostatins, an indole alkaloid class of nonribosomal peptides isolated from Aspergillus fumigatus, are known for their antimitotic activity in tumor cells. Because spirotryprostatins and many other chemically complex spiro-carbon-bearing natural products exhibit useful biological activities, identifying and understanding the mechanism of spiro-carbon biosynthesis is of great interest. Here we report a detailed study of spiro-ring formation in spirotryprostatins from tryprostatins derived from the fumitremorgin biosynthetic pathway, using reactants and products prepared with engineered yeast and fungal strains. Unexpectedly, FqzB, an FAD-dependent monooxygenase from the unrelated fumiquinazoline biosynthetic pathway, catalyzed spiro-carbon formation in spirotryprostatin A via an epoxidation route. Furthermore, FtmG, a cytochrome P450 from the fumitremorgin biosynthetic pathway, was determined to catalyze the spiro-ring formation in spirotryprostatin B. Our results highlight the versatile role of oxygenating enzymes in the biosynthesis of structurally complex natural products and indicate that cross-talk of different biosynthetic pathways allows product diversification in natural product biosynthesis.

Abstract
Screening of Malbranchea filamentosa IFM 41300 for bioactive compounds led to the identification of 4-benzyl-3-phenyl-5H-furan-2-one (1) as a vasodilator and erythroglaucin (2). The structure of 1 was established on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical investigations. Compound 1 inhibited Ca2+-induced vasocintraction in aortic rings pretreated with high K+ (60mM) or norepinephrine. Finally, compound 1 did not exhibit activity against human pathogenic microorganisms.
