ABSTRACT

16

Chemical investigation of an insect pathogenic enterobacterium Photorhabdus

17

temperata SN259 led to the isolation and identification of seven metabolites, which

18

include three new compounds, 3-hydroxy-2-isopropyl-5-phenethylphenyl carbamate,

19

1,

20

2-(1-hydroxypropan-2-yl)-5-[(E)-2-phenylethenyl]benzene-1,3-diol, 3, and four

21

known metabolites (4-7). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of MS and

22

NMR data and by comparison with those reported previously. The activities of

23

compounds 1-7 were evaluated against four phytopathogenic fungi (Pythium

24

aphanidermatum, Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn, Exserohilum turcicum, and Fusarium

25

oxysporum). In an agar medium assay, compounds 1 and 7 showed strong inhibition

26

against P. aphanidermatum with EC50 values of 2.8 and 2.7 µg/mL, respectively. By

27

comparing the structure of compounds 1-7, we deduced that the acylamino group in

28

compound 1 and the isopropyl group in compound 7 contribute to the inhibitory

29

activity.

INTRODUCTION

34

Plant diseases caused by fungi can lead to heavy losses in agriculture and

35

therefore constitute a serious threat to the global food security.1 Considerable

36

postharvest losses of fruits and vegetables have been attributed to fungal pathogens,

37

which often cause crops to rot and sometimes produce mycotoxins that are harmful

38

to human and animals. 2,3 P. aphanidermatum and F. oxysporum are two major fungi

39

that can cause postharvest decay in crops.3 Exserohilum turcicum is a common plant

40

pathogen that causes leaf blight and is responsible for serious reduction in

41

agriculture production in the Northeast China. Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn is another

42

notorious phytopathogenic fungal that causes rice sheath blight, a destructive disease

43

that causes significant economic damage to rice crops.

44

Currently, a great variety of chemical fungicides are produced to control these

45

diseases. However, repeated and exclusive application of chemical-based fungicides

46

often results in increased chemical resistance in pathogens, undesirable effects on

47

nontarget organisms, and the potential risks to human health and environmental

48

pollution.4,5 Therefore, it is particularly desirable to search for biologically active

49

natural products and develop them into new antifungal agents to effectively control

50

these agricultural diseases. In previous studies, Photorhabdus, an insect pathogenic

51

enterobacterium that maintains a mutualistic interaction with Heterorhabditis

52

nematodes was identified as a rich source of secondary metabolites.6 These

53

metabolites have diverse chemical structures which could be divided into four

54

classes, including carbapenems,7 anthraquinones,8 siderophore photobactin9 and

55

stilbenes.10 Stilbenes exhibit a wide spectrum of biological activities, such as

56

antibacterial,11-16 antifungal,13,17,18 insecticidal,19-21 nematicide,22 antioxidant23 and

57

anticancer, 23 and have become a major source of novel antibiotics.

58

In this study, seven stilbene derivatives were isolated from the crude extract of

59

Photorhabdus temperata SN259. These compounds were tested for their antifungal

60

activities against four phytopathogenic fungi. Although these stilbene derivatives

61

have similar structure, their bioassays revealed different activities which provided

62

information on their structure-activity relationships.

63

MATERIALS AND METHODS

64

General Experimental Procedures. NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker

65

Avance-600 NMR spectrometer (Bruker, Karlsruhe, Germany) at room temperature.

66

Carbon signals and the residual proton signals of CDCl3 (δC 77.0 and δH 7.26) and

67

DMSO-d6 (δC 39.5 and δH 2.50) were used for calibration. High-resolution

68

electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESIMS) spectra data were recorded

69

on a 6500 series quadrupole-time-of-flight (Q-TOF) mass spectrometer (Agilent,

70

Santa Clara, CA). High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis was

71

performed on a 1260 Infinity LC system (Agilent) coupled with a C18 column

72

(Agilent ZORBAX Eclipse XDB, 4.60×250mm, 5µm). Semi-preparative HPLC was

73

performed on an Agilent 1260 series system coupled with a C18 column (Agilent

74

ZORBAX Eclipse XDB, 9.4×250 mm, 5µm). Column chromatography was

75

performed using silica gel (100-200 mesh) (Qingdao Ocean Chemical Co. Ltd.,

76

Qingdao, China) or Sephadex LH-20 (GE Healthcare, Uppsala, Sweden). All

77

chemical reagents were purchased from Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Company

78

(Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China) and used without further

79

purification.

80

Bacteria Material. P. temperata SN259 was isolated from a soil sample collected

81

in June, 2015, from Fengcheng City of Liaoning Province, China (40°30′46″N,

82

124°51′49″E) at a height of 200 m. The bacterium was identified by phylogenetic

83

analysis, through comparison to 16S rRNA sequences available on the EzTaxon

84

database. The sequence was most similar (100) to the sequence of P. temperata

85

(GenBank accession number EU136626) and was named P. temperata SN259

86

(GenBank accession number KU240002). The strain was deposited in the Laboratory

87

of Microbial Metabolites, College of Plant Protection, at Shenyang Agricultural

88

University, China.

89

Fermentation and Extraction. The P. temperata SN259 was preserved in

90

glycerol suspensions (10%, v/v) at -80 °C. A two-stage fermentation procedure was

91

employed to grow the P. temperata SN259. In the first stage, a 250-mL Erlenmeyer

92

flask, containing 50 mL of LB medium (i.e., tryptone 10 g, yeast extract 5 g, NaCl

93

10 g, in a final volume of 1.0 L H2O, pH 7.0), was inoculated with 200 µL of P.

94

temperata SN259 bacterial suspension and incubated with shaking (180 rpm) at

95

28 °C for 18 h to prepare the seed culture. In the second stage, twenty-four 2-L

96

Erlenmeyer flasks, each containing 400 mL of M medium (i.e., glucose 6.13 g,

97

peptone 21.29 g, MgSO4·7H2O 1.50 g, (NH4)2SO4 2.46 g, KH2PO4 0.86 g, K2HPO4

98

1.11 g, NaSO4 1.72 g, in a final volume of 1.0 L H2O, pH 7.2), were inoculated with

99

40 mL of the seed culture and left for fermentation for 5 d under identical conditions.

100

The fermentation cultures were centrifuged at 6,500 rpm and 4 °C for 30 min to

101

remove bacteria, and the broth was extracted with 3% Amberlite XAD 16 resin for 4

102

hours at room temperature with agitation. Resin was harvested by centrifugation and

103

eluted four times with methanol. The combined methanol elution was then

104

concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the crude extract.

105

Isolation and Purification. The dried extract was redissolved in 50% MeOH (600

106

mL). The solution was extracted four times with equal volume of CH2Cl2. The

107

CH2Cl2 extract was collected and concentrated on a rotary evaporator under vacuum

108

at 28 °C to yield 5.8 g of solid brown residue.

109

The CH2Cl2 extract was subjected to silica gel chromatography (350 mm × 25 mm

110

i.d.) eluted stepwise with petroleum ether : ethyl acetate (100:5, 100:10, 100:20,

111

100:30, and 0:100, v/v, 2 L of each) as the mobile phase to afford five fractions, S1

112

to S5. Fraction S4 was subjected to gel chromatography on Sephadex LH-20 eluted

113

with MeOH, then purified by reverse-phase semi-preparative HPLC applying a 51%

114

MeOH-H2O (with 0.1% HCOOH added to both solvents) and a flow rate of 3.0

115

mL/min for 60 min, UV detection was at 254 nm. Pure compounds 1 (16 mg), 2 (200

116

mg), and 3 (15 mg) were eluted at 52.7 min, 34.2 min, and 29.7 min, respectively.

117

Fraction S3 was repeatedly chromatographed on a Sephadex LH-20 gel column

118

(1000 mm × 20 mm i.d.) with MeOH (600ml) as eluent to yield compound 7 (600

119

mg) and a mixture. The mixture was then isolated by reverse-phase semi-preparative

120

HPLC applying a 72% MeOH-H2O (with 0.1% HCOOH added to both solvents) to

121

give compound 6 (50 mg, tR=37.1 min). Fraction S2 was separated by reverse-phase

122

semi-preparative HPLC eluted with 50% CH3CN-H2O (with 0.1% HCOOH added to

123

both solvents) to give compound 4 (15 mg, tR=12.8 min). Fraction S1 was subjected

124

to a silica gel column (350 mm × 20 mm i.d.), eluted with petroleum ether:ethyl

125

acetate (100:2, v/v, 600ml) to give compound 5 (118 mg) .

138

Agricultural University. The effects of compounds 1-7 on the mycelial growth of

139

phytopathogenic fungi were performed by the agar medium assay as described

140

previously.24,25 Test compounds were dissolved in acetone, then mixed with sterile

141

molten potato dextrose agar to obtain final concentrations of 3.125, 6.25, 12.5, 25,

142

and 50 µg/mL. The PDA was poured into 9 cm plates (15 mL) then the 5 mm plugs

143

of plant pathogens were placed in the center of each plate. Three replicate plates

144

were used per treatment, and PDA containing a corresponding concentration of

145

acetone was used as control dishes. Chlorothalonil was used as the positive

146

comparison. Experiments were performed three times. When the fungal mycelium

147

reached the edges of the control dishes, the antifungal activities were calculated. The

148

formula for calculating the percentage of growth inhibition was as follows:

149

inhibition rate of mycelial growth (%) = (1-Da/Db) ×100

150

where Da is the diameter of the pathogen colony in the plate containing a test

151

compound and Db is the diameter of the colony in the control plate.

155

broth microdilution method.26,27 Arrayed stock solutions of the tested compounds

156

dissolved in DMSO were diluted 100-fold with RPMI-1640 medium and tested at

157

final concentrations between 1 and 128 µg/mL. Under the sterile environment, fungal

158

suspensions (100 µL) of each pathogenic fungi were poured into the wells containing

8

159

100 µL of 2-fold serially diluted single compounds in the RPMI-1640 medium for a

160

final volume of 200 µL. The wells containing DMSO (≤1%) were run as negative

161

controls. Chlorothalonil was used as positive control. Under the same concentrations,

162

the blank wells were prepared with RPMI-1640 medium containing the tested

163

compounds. The inoculated plates were incubated at 28 °C. After an incubation of

164

48 h, the optical density (OD) of each well was measured using a microplate reader

165

(MULTISKAN GO, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Vantaa, Finland) at 620 nm. The

166

growth inhibition of each dilution was calculated using the following formula:

167

inhibition (%) = (1- OD of treated well / OD of negative control well) ×100

168

where OD values of the negative control well and the OD of the treated well were

169

corrected with the OD of the blank wells corresponding to each concentration. The

170

IC50 values were derived from Probit analysis of the concentration-response data,

171

with serially diluted concentrations of the pure compounds.

purified by gel chromatography on Sephadex LH-20 or by HPLC to afford three new

176

compounds (1-3), one new natural product (4) and three known compounds (5-7)

177

(Figure 1). The known compounds were identified by comparison of spectroscopic

178

data with those reported in the literature as 2-isopropyl-5-[2-phenylethyl]benzene-1,

[(E)-2-phenylethenyl]benzene-1,3-diol, 7.10

181

Compound 1 had the molecular formula determined to be C18H21NO3 according to

182

HRESIMS data, indicating nine degrees of unsaturation. The 1H NMR spectrum of 1

183

(Table 1) displayed two methyl protons at δH 1.21 (6H, d, J = 7.1 Hz), two

184

methylene protons at δH 2.71 (2H, br dd, J = 10.2, 6.2 Hz), 2.81 (2H, br dd, J = 10.1,

185

6.2 Hz), one aliphatic methine at δH 3.18 (1H, m), one monosubstituted benzene ring

186

[δH 7.27 (4H, m), 7.18 (1H, t, J = 7.0 Hz)], and one 1,2,3,5-tetrasubstituted benzene

187

ring [δH 6.54 (1H, brs), 6.33 (1H, brs)].

188

carbon resonances ascribed to two methyls, two methylenes, eight methines (seven

189

aromatic including two overlapped and one aliphatic), six quaternary carbons (one

190

amide carbonyl, five aromatic including two oxygenated). The structural

191

construction of 1 was performed by 2D NMR experiments. The presence of

192

1,2-diphenylethane was supported by the 1H-1H COSY correlations of H2-7/H2-8 and

193

the HMBC correlations of H2-7/C-4, C-6, and C-9;H2-8/C-10, C-14, and C-5 (Figure

194

2). Furthermore, the presence of a 1,2,3,5-tetrasubstituted benzene ring including

195

3,5-dihydroxy substituent was established by a combination of the HMBC

196

correlations of H-4/C-2, C-6; H-6/C-4, C-2, together with the downfield chemical

197

shift of C-1 (δC 156.2) and C-3 (δC 149.6). This inference was further supported by

198

the HMBC correlations of H3-16, H3-17/C-2; H-15/ C-1, C-3, while the HMBC

199

correlations information indicated that the isopropyl was linked to C-2 by C-15. In

The

13

C NMR spectrum of 1 showed 18

200

addition, the presence of the amide group were determined by the chemical shifts of

201

C-18 (δC 155.2), CONH2 (δH 7.08, brs; 6.73, brs) indicated the amide group located

202

at C-1 by an oxygen atom based on the molecular formula C18H21NO3. We proposed

203

the structure of 1 as depicted in Figure 1, and it was thus named

204

3-hydroxy-2-isopropyl-5-phenethylphenyl carbamate.

205

Compound 2 was assigned the molecular formula C17H20O3 in accordance to its

206

HRESIMS data, indicating that the compound 2 possessed one more oxygen atom

207

than the known compound 5. A careful comparison of the 1H and

208

spectroscopic data of 2 (Table 1) and 5 revealed that 2 was very similar to 5, the only

209

difference between them was that 2 had one more hydroxyl group than 5. The methyl

210

group (δC 20.8, δH 1.40) in 5 was replaced by an oxygen-bearing methylene group

211

(δC 67.6, δH 3.88 and 3.95) in 2. The proposal was supported by the HMBC

212

correlations of H2-17/C-2, C-16. All the above data suggested that compound 2 was

213

C-17 hydroxylated analogue of compound 5, and named

214

2-(1-hydroxypropan-2-yl)-5-[2-phenylethyl]benzene-1,3-diol.

13

C NMR

215

Compound 3 had a molecular formula C17H18O3 on the basis of its positive

216

HRESIMS data, suggesting that 3 possessed one more oxygen atom than 7. By

217

comparison of the 1H NMR spectrum of 3 with that of 7, compound 3 showed one

218

additional methylene group at δH 3.59(1H, dd) and 3.72(1H, dd). In the

219

spectrum, compound 7 processed two methyl signals at δC 20.6, whereas 3 had

220

signals at δC 15.4 and 64.6. It was thus reasonable to deduce that the methyl group

221

[δC 20.6, δH 1.26(3H, d)] in 7 was replaced by an oxygen-bearing methylene group

222

[δC 64.6, δH 3.59(1H, dd) and 3.72(1H, dd)] in 3. The chemical value of the C-15 at

223

δC 23.7 in 7 was downfield shifted to δC 32.2 in 3, further demonstrating that the

224

extra hydroxyl group was attached to C-17 in 3. The proposal was also supported by

225

the HMBC correlations of H2-17/C-2, C-16. Taken together, the structure of 3 was

226

determined as shown (Figure 1) and named

227

2-(1-hydroxypropan-2-yl)-5-[(E)-2-phenylethenyl]benzene-1,3-diol.

228

The structure of 4 was determined by comparison of the NMR spectra with

229

compound 6. The 1H NMR spectrum of 6 revealed that the C-7 and C-8 showed

230

olefinic proton signals at δH 6.89 and 7.02, while that of 4 revealed the C-7 and C-8

231

possessed methylene signals at δH 2.77 and 2.88, indicating that the double bond

232

between C-7 and C-8 in 6 was reduced in 4. The structure of compound 4 was

233

therefore

234

2-ethyl-5-(2-phenylethyl)benzene-1,3-diol. Compound 4 was synthesized previously,

242

In the 96-well microdilution broth assay, compounds 1 and 7 exhibited significant

243

antifungal properties against the P. aphanidermatum, with IC50 values of 2.6 and 2.0

244

µg/mL, respectively. Additionally, compounds 1 and 7 also possessed high levels of

245

antifungal activity against R. solani Kuhn. Compounds 4, 5 and 6, exhibited

246

moderate antifungal activities, and compounds 2 and 3 showed even weaker

247

inhibitory activities.

248

An overall evaluation of the relationship between the structures and antifungal

249

activity of the compounds suggested that the fungicidal activities of these analogues

250

were strongly influenced by the substituents attached to the benzene ring, as well as

251

the double bond between the benzene rings. Comparing the structures of 2 and 5,

252

introduction of one hydroxyl group at the C-17 position greatly reduced the

253

antifungal activities against all of the tested fungi, and the same trend is observed

254

between compounds 3 and 7. Compounds 5 and 7 were more active than compounds

255

4 and 6, suggesting that alkylated derivatives of C-15 slightly increased the

256

antifungal activity. By comparing structures 7 and 5, the reduction of the olefin

257

between C-7 and C-8 to alkane decreased antifungal activity, as well as that

258

observed between compounds 6 and 4. Comparison of compounds 1 and 5 revealed

259

that the replacement of the hydrogen of the hydroxyl group at C-1 with an acylamino

260

group increased the antifungal activity, so that this group plays an important role in

261

its activity. The structure-antifungal activity relationships of these compounds

262

provide a new template for further discovery of novel antifungal agrochemicals.

Currently, only a few stilbene analogs have been isolated from Photorhabdus.6

264

The three newly discovered stilbene derivatives has increased the structural diversity

265

of stilbene compounds. Compounds 1 and 7 showed strong bioactivity against P.

266

aphanidermatum and R. solani Kuhn. This is the first report that stilbenes exhibit

267

inhibitory activity against P. aphanidermatum, which provides further proof that

268

stilbene compounds are good candidate agents for antifungal agrochemicals

269

discovery.
