ABSTRACT

24

Fusarium solani H915 (MCCC3A00957), a fungus originating from mangrove sediment, showed

25

potent inhibitory activity against tea pathogenic fungus Pestalotiopsis theae. Successive

26

chromatographic separation on an ethyl acetate (EtOAc) extract of F. solani H915 resulted in the

27

isolation of five new alkenoic diacid derivatives, fusarilactones A–C (1–3), fusaridioic acids B (4) and

28

C (5), in addition to seven known compounds (6–12). The chemical structures of these metabolites

29

were elucidated on the basis of UV, IR, HR-ESI-MS and NMR spectroscopic data. The antifungal

30

activity of the isolated compounds was evaluated. Compounds with a β-lactone ring (1, 2 and 7)

31

exhibited potent inhibitory activities, while none of the other compounds show activity. The ED50

32

values of the compounds 1, 2 and 7 were 38.14 ± 1.67 µg/mL, 42.26 ± 1.96 µg/mL, and 18.35 ± 1.27

33

µg/mL respectively. Additionally, inhibitory activity of these compounds against 3-hydroxy-3-

34

methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) synthase gene expression was also detected by real time RT-PCR.

35

Results indicated that compounds 1, 2 and 7 may inhibit the growth of P. theae by interfering with the

36

biosynthesis of ergosterol by down-regulating the expression of HMG-CoA synthase.

INTRODUCTION

42

Tea [Camellia sinensis O. Kuntze] is an important economic crop in many countries. However,

43

the growth and production of tea can be severely disturbed by various factors, especially fungal

44

diseases that infects the leaves. 1-2 Infected tea leaves often exhibit severe damage of the blade tissue

45

and discoloration of the leaf, such as blight (Exobasidium vexans Massee), grey blight (Pestalotiopsis

46

theae (Sawada) Steyaert), brown blight (Colletotrichum camelliae Massee), sooty mold (Capnodium

47

theae Boedijn), and red rust (Cephaleuros parasiticus Karst). 1, 3-7

48

Fungicides and biocontrol agents have demonstrated potential against these pathogenic fungi.

49

Synthetic chemical fungicides such as thiophanatemethyl, carbendazim and contact fungicides such as

50

mancozeb and, copper oxychloride have been effectively used in the field.

51

including Bacillus subtilis, 9 Trichoderma viride, 10 Ochrobactrum anthropic, 11 and Streptomyces spp.

52

12

53

fungicides can lead to many problems, such as phytopathogen resistance, food safety threat and

54

environmental pollution. 13-15 Therefore, the development of new natural product derivative fungicides

55

is of great importance to overcome these shortcomings.

8

Biocontrol agents,

have also been used in antagonizing these tea pathogenic fungi. However, long-term use of chemical

56

To date there have only been a few reports on active compounds against tea pathogenic fungi.

57

Essential oil-based β-methoxyacrylate derivatives have been synthesized and showed remarkable

58

inhibitory activities against P. theae. 16 Major tea leaf volatile constituents, including geraniol, linalool,

59

methyl salicylate, benzyl alcohol, and 2-phenylethanol were found to exhibit significant antifungal

60

activities toward Colletorichum camelliae Massea.

61

temperature, pressure, salt concentration and pH, are known to be a rich resource for bioactive natural

62

products.

Marine environments, with a wide range of

63

isolated from sea sediment 3000 metres below the Pacific Ocean, which exhibited antifungal activity

64

against P. theae and Colletorichum gloeosporioides. Mangrove ecosystems are coastal wetlands with

65

high primary production rates, equal to those of tropical humid evergreen forests and coral reefs.

66

Sediment microorganisms help create and maintain mangrove ecosystems by decomposition of organic

67

matter and are critical for the cycling of nutrients. 22 Mangrove-associated microorganisms are thought

68

to be of great value for obtaining bioactive natural products. 23-24 Endophytic Fusarium sp have also

69

been shown to produce various secondary metabolites, such as cyclic pentapeptides, cyclic

70

lipopeptides, 25 α-pyridone derivatives, ceramide derivatives, 15 azaphilone derivatives, 26 isocoumarin

71

derivatives,

72

These metabolites showed various bioactivities. We herein report the isolation, structural

73

determination, and antifungal activity of the metabolites from an extract of Fusarium solani H915

74

(MCCC3A00957), a fungus originating from mangrove sediment.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

77

General experimental procedures

78

Open-column separations were carried out using silica gel (Yantai Chemical Industry Research

79

Institute, Yantai, China) or Cosmosil 75 C18-OPN (75 μm, Nakalai Tesque Co. Ltd., Kyoto, Japan).

80

The preparative HPLC was performed with a preparative Cosmosil ODS column (250 mm × 20.0 mm

81

i.d., 5 m, Cosmosil, Nakalai Tesque Co. Ltd., Kyoto, Japan), via a Varian binary gradient LC system

82

(Varian Inc. Corporate, Santa Clara, CA, USA). The HR-ESI-MS spectra were acquired on a Q-

83

Exactive Mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific Corporation, Waltham, MA, USA). UV spectra

84

were recorded on a Shimadzu UV-260 spectrometer (Shimadzu Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). IR spectra

85

in KBr pellets were determined using a Perkin-Elmer 683 infrared spectrometer (PerkinElmer, Inc.,

86

Waltham, MA, USA). Optical rotations were measured on a JASCO P-200 polarimeter (JASCO

87

Corporation, Tokyo, Japan), equipped with a 5-cm cell. The NMR spectra of the compounds dissolved

88

in DMSO-d6 were run on a Bruker Avance III 600 FT NMR spectrometer (Bruker Corporation,

89

Billerica, MA, USA).

90

Circular Dichroism (CD) spectra and Electronic Circular Dichroism (ECD) Calculations

91

The circular dichroism (CD) spectra were acquired on a Chirascan circular dichroism

92

spectrometer (Applied Photophysics Ltd., Leatherhead, UK). The theoretical electronic circular

93

dichroism (ECD) spectra of the isolated compounds were calculated on the basis of the relative

94

configurations determined by their NOESY spectra and J values in the 1H NMR. Conformational

95

analyses and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to generate and optimize the

96

conformers with energy. The ECD calculations were performed following a method descripted

97

previously [25].

98

Fungus and carbohydrate fermentation

99

The H915 strain was isolated from the mangrove sediments at the estuary of Zhangjiangkou

100

Mangrove National Nature Reserve (23° 55′35.37″N, 117°24′50.93″E), Fujian province, China using

101

a tablet pour method. The internal transcribed spaces (ITS) region was amplified and sequenced by

102

using the general primers ITS1 and ITS4. The ITS region of the fungus was a 576 bp DNA sequence

103

(GenBank accession number KY978583) which had 99% identity to Fusarium solani. The strain was

104

deposited at the China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC, M2017150) and Marine Culture

105

Collection of China (MCCC, 3A00957). Carbohydrate fermentation was carried out by subculturing

106

the fungus onto a rice-artificial sea water medium, incubated at 28°C for 30 days in a standing position.

107

P. theae (ITS GenBank accession number HQ832793) was isolated from foliar lesions of the tea leaf

108

and its pathogenicity to tea leaves was verified both in vitro and in vivo (unpublished data).

109

Extraction and isolation

110

The rice-artificial sea water culture (10 kg) of F. solani H915 was extracted with ethyl acetate

111

(EtOAc, 20 L) three times and concentrated under reduced-pressure at 40 ºC to yield 16.4 g crude

112

extract. Then, 15.0 g of the EtOAc extract was divided into 10 fractions (Fr. 1 – Fr. 10) over a silica

113

gel (300 g) column eluted with petroleum ether : ethyl acetate (v/v) (20:1; 10:1; 5:1; 2:1; 1:1, 1.0 L

114

each) and chloroform : methyl alcohol (v/v) (50:1; 20:1; 10:1; 5;1; 2:1; 0:1, 1.0 L each). Except for the

115

low-yielding non-polar (Fr. 1 – Fr. 4) and extreme high-polar fractions (Fr. 10), most of the fractions

116

were subjected to ODS columns for further separation. Fr. 5 (1.1 g) was separated over 20 g ODS and

117

eluted with 10%, 30%, 50%, 70% and 100% CH3OH/H2O (0.2 L each) to give five subfractions (subFr.

118

5.1 – subFr. 5.5). SubFr. 5.5 was purified by preparative HPLC ODS column and isocratic eluted with

119

acetonitrile-H2O (27:73, v/v) to yield compounds 9 (15 mg) and 10 (15 mg). Fr. 6 (4.6 g) was subjected

120

to an ODS (100 g) column and eluted with 10%, 30%, 50%, 70% and 100% CH3OH/H2O (0.5 L each)

121

to give nine subfractions (subFr. 6.1 – subFr. 6.9). Then, subFr. 6.9 (1.3 g) was purified by preparative

122

HPLC and isocratic eluted with acetonitrile-H2O (42:58, v/v) to give compounds 1 (7 mg), 2 (7 mg)

123

and 7 (300 mg). Fractionation of Fr. 7 (1.3 g), resulting in 8 subfractions (subFr. 7.1 – subFr. 7.8), was

124

conducted via an ODS (30 g) column eluted with 10%, 30%, 50%, 70% and 100% CH3OH/H2O (0.3

125

L each). SubFr. 7.8 (80 mg) was purified by preparative HPLC, isocratic eluted with acetonitrile-H2O

126

(45:55, v/v), to afford compounds 3 (10 mg) and 5 (10 mg). Fr. 8 (1.5 g) was separated using an ODS

127

(30 g) column, eluted with CH3OH/H2O (10% – 100%, 0.3 L each), to give a 10 subfractions (subFr.

128

8.1 – subFr. 8.10). Preparative HPLC with isocratic elution of acetonitrile : H2O (44:56, v/v) was used

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

129

for subFr. 8.7 (105 mg), leading to the isolation of compound 6 (10 mg). Fr. 9 (3.8 g) was also separated

130

using an ODS (100 g) column, eluting with 0%, 30%, 50%, 70% and 100% CH3OH/H2O (0.5 L each),

131

to give nine subfractions (subFr. 9.1 – subFr. 9.9). SubFr. 9.7 (325 mg) was purified by preparative

132

HPLC isocratic eluted with acetonitrile-H2O (45:55, v/v) to obtain compounds 4 (6 mg), 8 (8 mg), 11

133

(14 mg) and 12 (19 mg).

Structural Elucidation

203

A series of chromatographic methods was used during the isolation of an extract from the rice-artificial

204

sea water medium of F. solani H915. As a result, 12 compounds were isolated, including five new

205

compounds, fusarilactone A (1), fusarilactone B (2), fusarilactone C (3), fusaridioic acid B (4),

206

fusaridioic acid C (5), and seven known compounds (6–12, Figure 1).

209 210

Compound 1 (fusarilactone A) was isolated as an amorphous white powder. The molecular

211

formula C18H26O5, which gave six degrees of unsaturation, was established by positive and negative

212

HRESIMS ion peaks at m/z 345.1668 [M+Na]+ and 321.1711 [M-H]-, respectively. The UV maximum

213

absorption bands at max (log ε): 233 (3.58) nm and 266 (3.80) were assigned to an unconjugated

214

carbonyl and a conjugated carbonyl, respectively. In the low-field region of the 13C NMR, two carboxyl

215

carbon signals were observed at δC 170.8 (C-14) and δC 168.6 (C-1, which is conjugated with the

216

double bond system). In the low field region of the 1H NMR, two olefinic protons were observed with

217

br. s peaks at δH 5.55 (H-2) and 5.71 (H-4). In addition, a pair of trans-alkene hydrogens were observed

218

at δH 5.34 (H-8) and 5.40 (H-9), with a coupling constant of 15.4 Hz. Their corresponding olefinic

219

carbon signals were found in the sp2 region of the 13C NMR spectrum at δC 119.2 (C-2), 152.4 (C-3),

6.6 Hz, 7-CH3) is connected to a methylene group. In the 1H-1H COSY spectrum, the proton at δH 4.52

224

(m) showed correlations with those at δH (1.85 & 1.78, H-11) and δH 3.51 (H-13). The HSQC spectrum,

225

signal at δH 4.52 (m) showed a correlation with the carbon at δC 74.3, which was attributed to the 12-

226

CH. The two dd peaks at δH 3.71 (J = 11.6, 3.9 Hz) and 3.61 (J = 11.6, 3.5 Hz), which form a typical

227

ABX coupling system with H-13 (δH 3.51), were assigned to the two protons at 13-CH2OH.

228

Elucidation of HSQC, 1H-1H COSY and HMBC spectra indicated that the planar structure of 1 was

229

almost identical to that of hymeglusin (7), 33-34 a typical β-lactone antibiotic isolated from a culture of

230

Scopulariopsis sp. F-244. Most of the 1D NMR spectral data of 1 were very similar to those of

231

hymeglusin (7), except for the signals at positions 8 and 9. The molecular formula of 1 has two fewer

232

hydrogen atoms than 7, and the pair of olefinic 1H and 13C signals that appeared in the sp2 low field

233

region, indicated that 1 was the dehydrogenation product of hymeglusin (7) at positions 8 and 9. The

234

configuration of the double bonds was also revealed by a NOESY experiment, where correlations

235

between H-4 (δH 5.71) and H-2 (δH 5.55), as well as H-4 and H-6 (δH 2.02, 1.97), were observed.

236

Moreover, the NOESY correlation between H-12 and 13-CH2OH indicated the trans-configuration of

237

C-11 and 13-CH2OH, which was confirmed by the 1H and 13C NMR similarity of C-11, C-12, C-13

238

and C-14 between compounds 1 and 7. As a result, the structure of 1 was elucidated and called as

239

fusarilactone A (Figure 2).

240

The theoretical electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra of 7S, 12R, 13R -1 and 7R, 12R, 13R -1

241

were also calculated and compared with the experimental values to determine the absolute

242

configuration. As shown in Figure 3a, the experimental ECD spectrum was similar to both of the

243

calculated ECD spectra. Considering that the absolute configuration of C-7 cannot be determined by

244

the CD spectrum and ECD calculation, since carbon chain flexibility. The absolute configuration of 1

245

was determined to be 12R, 13R (Figure 3).

254 255

Compound 2 (fusarilactone B) was obtained as an amorphous white powder. Positive and

256

negative HRESIMS suggested its molecular formula to be C17H26O5, which gave five degrees of

257

unsaturation. The 1H, 13C NMR and DEPT spectra, in which two carbonyls, two ethylenic bonds, two

258

methyls and seven methylenes were found, indicated that the structure of 2 was similar to that of

259

hymeglusin (7), except for the absence of a methyl at C-7. In the 13C NMR of 2, the carbon signal at δ

260

19.5 assigned to 7-CH3 of hymeglusin (7) was not present. The 13C chemical shift of C-7 changed from

261

δC 30.8 to 28.9, and the 13C NMR signals assigned to C-6 and C-8 were also shifted from δC 48.8 to

262

40.7 and from δC 36.6 to 28.9, respectively. The structure of 2, including its relative configuration, was

263

further supported by the correlations found in 1H-1H COSY, HMBC and NOESY spectra (Figure 2).

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

264

Compound 3 (fusarilactone C) was isolated as an amorphous white powder. The molecular

265

formula of C20H32O5, suggested by positive and negative HRESIMS, gave five degrees of unsaturation.

266

Two carbonyl carbons and two ethylenic bonds could be found in the low field region of the 13C NMR.

267

The high field region of the 1H, 13C NMR and DEPT spectra showed two oxygenated methines, three

268

methines without an oxygen-link, six methylenes and four methyls. Compound 3 also has a similar

269

structure to hymeglusin (7). However, the 1H-1H COSY correlations of H-12/H-13, H-13/H-14 and H-

270

14/H-15, 15-CH3, together with the HMBC correlations from H-12 to C-16, and from H-15 to C-16,

271

supported the presence of a six-membered lactone ring in 3, which is different from the β-lactone ring

272

in compound 1, 2 and 7. The relative configuration of 3 was further assigned using NOESY

273

correlations between H-12 (δH 4.55) and H-14 (δH 3.94), H-13e (δH 1.91), and between H-14 and H-

274

13e, 15-CH3 (δH 1.10), as well as the correlations induced by the protons at the opposite side of the six-

275

membered ring: between H-15 (δH 2.50) and H-13a (δH 1.70). The configuration of the double bonds

276

was similar with those in compounds 1 and 2, as shown in Figure 2.

277

Compound 4 (fusaridioic acid B) was isolated as an amorphous white powder with positive and

278

negative HRESIMS ion peaks at m/z 351.1768 [M+Na]+, and 327.1806 [M-H]-, respectively. Its

279

molecular weight is higher than that of 2 by 18 mass units, indicating that 4 could be the ring-opened

280

analog of 2. Most of the 1H, 13C NMR and DEPT data of 4 were similar to those of 2, except for the

281

carbon signals assigned to C-12, 13 and 14. In detail, the chemical shift of the 14-carbonyl was shifted

282

from δC 170.9 to 175.4, while that of C-12 was shifted from δC 74.8 to 69.3. 1H-1H COSY, HMBC and

283

NOESY spectra helped to confirm the structure of 4 as the ring-opened analog product of 2. As

284

described in a previous report 35, hydrogen bonds between the C-14 carbonyl oxygen and 12-OH, and

285

between the 14-carboxyl hydroxyl and 13-CH2OH helped to elucidate the relative configuration

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

Page 14 of 30

286

between C-12 and C-13 by using the coupling constant between H-12 and H-13. In compound 4, the

287

trans-coplanar position induced an H12-H13 coupling constant of 7–8 Hz (Figure 2). Thus, the coupling

288

splitting of H-13 in 4 presented as a td peak with J values of 7.0 Hz (× 2) and 4.6 Hz (× 1) (Table 1).

289

Compound 5 (fusaridioic acid C) was also isolated as an amorphous white powder. The molecular

290

formula of C18H30O6, was established by the HRESIMS positive and negative ion peaks at m/z

291

349.1985 [M+Na]+ and 325.2030 [M-H]-. The

292

carbons and four olefinic carbons belonging to two ethylenic bonds, in the sp2 low field region. The

293

sp3 high field region of the 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra showed the existence of two methine, five

294

methylenes and four methyls. The 13C NMR data of the C-14 carbonyl was closer to that of compound

295

4, rather than compounds 1 and 2, indicating that compound 5 was also a ring-opened structure.

296

Comparing the NMR data with those of 4, signals of a methylene bearing an oxygen [(δC 60.3 and δH

297

3.49, 3.45), 13-CH2OH] disappeared and a set of methyl signal emerged at [δC 13.1 and δH 0.98 (3H,

298

d, J = 8.3 Hz), 11-CH3]. The 1H-1H COSY, HMBC and NOESY spectra confirmed the loss of the 13-

299

CH2OH and presence of the methyl at C-11, and the structure of 5 was elucidated as shown in Figure

Evaluation of antifungal activity

312

The antifungal activity of the isolated compounds was evaluated using a paper disc inhibition

313

assay and ED50 detection. Compounds 1, 2, and 7 demonstrated significant activities against the tea

314

pathogenic fungus P. theae (Figure 4), however, none of the other compounds exhibited this effect.

315

The ED50 values of new compounds 1 and 2 and known compound 7 were 38.14 ± 1.67 µg/mL, 42.26

316

± 1.96 µg/ mL, 18.35 ± 1.27 µg/ mL to P. theae respectively, while the positive control hexaconazole

317

was 16.34 ± 1.25 µg/ mL. All 12 compounds were also tested for cytotoxic effects against mice 3T3-

318

L1 cells through CCK8 methods, but they did not show significant cytotoxicity (IC 50 > 100 µM).

319 320

321 322

Concerning the structure-activity relationship, the results showed that the β-lactone ring seemed

323

to be important for the anti-fungal inhibitory activity. Compounds 1, 2, and 7, which contain a β-

324

lactone ring, showed potent activity, while their corresponding open ring derivatives, compounds 8, 4,

325

11, and 12, showed no inhibitory activity against P. theae. The number of double bonds, and the methyl

326

side chain did not influence the activity. The fact that compound 9 and 10 did not show activity

327

indicated that the long main aliphatic chain may be necessary for the anti-fungal activity.

328

The most potent compounds in this study were hymeglusin (7) and its derivatives fusarilactone A

329

(1) and fusarilactone B (2). Hymeglusin (7) was reported as a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA
