第4代太空防风的X射线荧光研究

利用我国发射的神舟三号飞船搭载防风种子,回收后在地面上筛选繁育,定向培育成新品种获得优良的种质资源。本文用X射线荧光光谱法（XRF）对枝叶和产量等方面占优势的第4代太空及地面组防风药用部分的元素含量进行测定和对比分析。两组样品的元素种类基本相同, 但多种矿质元素含量是太空组＞地面组。尤其是太空防风中与性味功效和归经相关的Zn,Fe,Mn和Cu含量比地面组分别提高到4.39,1.23,0.84和0.90倍。太空防风矿质元素指标明显优化。XRF方法可以从整体上对中药材的元素进行测定分析和研究。利用太空搭载防风种子可以筛选出多种元素优化的防风药材新品种。

A new polyketide purpurogenic acid: the activated production of polyketides by the diethyl sulphate mutagenesis of marine-derived Penicillium purpurogenum G59

A new polyketide, purpurogenic acid (1), and two known polyketides, (-)-mitorubrin (2) and (-)-mitorubrinol (3), were isolated from a fungal mutant derived from the diethyl sulphate (DES) mutagenesis of marine-derived Penicillium purpurogenum G59. The planar structure of new 1 was elucidated by spectroscopic methods and the absolute configuration was assigned on the basis of [α]_D and CD data. In our preliminary MTT assay, 1 inhibited human cancer K562, HL-60, HeLa and BGC-823 cells with the inhibition rates of 52.7, 78.8, 38.4 and 35.3% at the 100 μg/mL, respectively.     

Isoleucine Residues Determine Chiral Discrimination of Odorant-Binding Protein

Enzymes, receptors, and carrier proteins discriminate between enantiomers of natural and synthetic chemicals. Whereas the structural details of this phenomenon have been investigated in enzymes and receptors, much less is known for carrier proteins of hydrophobic ligands, particularly concerning the contribution of asymmetric centers in the side chains of amino acids to chirally selective binding. Working with a pig odorant-binding protein, we have found that the replacement of either one or both isoleucine residues in the binding pocket by leucines abolishes discrimination of menthol and carvone enantiomers. The results indicate that isoleucines are crucial for chiral discrimination of hydrophobic ligands, and that asymmetry in the side chain may be as important as the overall asymmetry of the protein. The results provide suggestions and guidelines for improving chiral selectivity of binding proteins and enzymes, with consequent applications in the production of enantiomerically pure drugs.     

Two new polyketides isolated from a diethyl sulphate mutant of marine-derived Penicillium purpurogenum G59

Two new polyketides, purpurofuranone (1) and purpuropyranone (2), were isolated along with the known polyketides, cillifuranone (3) and taiwapyrone (4), from a mutant BD-3n-1 derived from the diethyl sulfate (DES) mutagenesis of a marine-derived Penicillium purpurogenum G59. The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated by spectroscopic methods especially on the basis of X-ray diffraction and calculated optical rotations data. The plausible biosynthesis of 1???4 was also proposed and discussed. In preliminary MTT assay, 1???4 showed no notable inhibitory effects on the tested four human cancer cell lines.
