Bis(2,3-dibromo-4,5-dihydroxybenzyl) Ether,a Marine Algae Derived Bromophenol,Inhibits the Growth of Botrytis cinerea and Interacts with DNA Molecules

Bis(2,3-dibromo-4,5-dihydroxybenzyl) ether (BDDE) is a bromophenol isolated from marine algae. Previous reports have shown that BDDE possesses cytotoxic and antibacterial activity. In the present study, we demonstrate that BDDE displays broad-spectrum antifungal activities, especially on Botrytis cinerea. BDDE inhibits the growth of B. cinerea cultured on a solid medium of potato dextrose agar (PDA) as well as on the potato dextrose broth (PDB) medium. Moreover, BDDE decreases the incidence of fruit decay and severity of strawberries infected with B. cinerea. Further studies have revealed that BDDE decreases the germination rate and inhibits the mycelial growth of B. cinerea. The inhibition mechanisms are related to the disruption of the cell membrane integrity in B. cinerea spores and newly formed germ tubes. This study also suggests that BDDE possibly interacts with DNA via intercalation and minor groove binding. The studies provide evidence that BDDE has potential application in the control of gray mold after fruit harvest and the compound could serve as a candidate or lead template for rational drug design and for the development of antifungal agents.     

二苯-α-吡喃酮类链格孢霉毒素和人血清白蛋白的相互作用及机理探究

为探究链格孢酚单甲醚(AME)和链格孢酚(AOH)这两种二苯-α-吡喃酮类链格孢霉毒素与人血清白蛋白(HSA)之间的分子相互作用及机理,本研究模拟血液生理pH值,采用稳态荧光光谱、同步荧光光谱、3D荧光光谱以及圆二色光谱等方法研究两者之间的相互作用。结果表明,AME和AOH与HSA相互作用均发生了静态猝灭,具有较高亲和力,以氢键和范德华力(ΔH<0,ΔS<0)结合形成1:1复合物,互作过程中这两种类毒素破坏了人血清白蛋白中稳定二级结构的氢键网络,使蛋白二级结构展开,且AME和AOH使人血清白蛋白中的α-螺旋结构含量从48.93%分别减少至39.41%和44.01%,并使色氨酸残基极性降低、疏水性增加,但酪氨酸残基极性变化不大,即结合位点可能位于色氨酸残基所在的空腔(即结合位点I);AME对HSA的猝灭程度、猝灭常数(K_sv)及结合常数(K_a)均大于AOH,结合距离也更小(r_AME=2.56 nmAOH=2.60 nm)。本研究结果为进一步探究二苯-α-吡喃酮类链格孢霉毒素的毒代动力学和药代动力学,完善丰富其毒理学相关资料,以及进行风险评估和在食品中限量标准的制定提供了参考依据。     

In Vitro Activity of Lawsonia inermis （Henna） on Some Pathogenic Fungi

The present study was conducted to investigate antifungal activity ofLawsonia inermis （Henna plant）. Leaf samples of the plants were collected from Eastern Nile of Khartoum state, Sudan. Ethanol and petroleum ether extracts in various concentrations were obtained by maceration （cold method）. The extracts were bioassay in vitro to know their bioactivity to inhibit the growth of tested fungi. The cup plate agar diffusion method was adopted to assess the antifungal activity of the extracts against tested yeasts while agar incorporated method was used for other molds. Both extracts revealed anti fungal activity against all yeast strains except Pichiafabianii which was found resistant to both ethanol and ether extracts. The results displayed antifungal activity against tested fungi. Minimum mould concentration （MMC） of the extracts was determined. The obtained results revealed antifungal activity of henna leaves extracts which support the traditional use of the Henna in therapy of fungal infections. The possibility of therapeutic use of Sudanese henna as antifungal agents is recommended.

烤烟烟叶石油醚提取物与感官舒适度的关系

为了研究卷烟感官质量与烟叶石油醚提取物之间的相互关系,以烤烟为研究对象,运用相关分析和广义可加模型分析方法对两者之间的关系进行了分析.结果表明,石油醚提取物对口腔感受、喉部感受和余味整体感受均呈负面效应,且达到显著水平.也即石油醚提取物与卷烟感官口腔尖刺、口腔毛刺、喉部呛刺、喉部尖刺、鼻腔感受、干燥感均呈显著负相关,但是与卷烟劲头呈显著的正相关关系.因此,在卷烟配方设计中,可以考虑选择石油醚提取物含量适宜的原料以保证卷烟的感官质量.

八氯二丙醚在土壤表面的紫外光解动力学研究

以紫外灯为光源,研究了八氯二丙醚在土壤表面的光化学降解动态以及不同因子对其光解的影响。结果表明,八氯二丙醚在土壤表面的光解动态符合化学反应一级动力学方程。八氯二丙醚在不同类型土壤中的光解速率为红壤>潮土>水稻土,光解半衰期分别为11.44、14.00h和20.63h。八氯二丙醚在中性土壤中光解速率最快,在偏酸或偏碱性土壤中光解半衰期均明显延长。土壤含水量增加,有利于八氯二丙醚的光解,干燥土壤(含水量为2%)中八氯二丙醚的光解半衰期是潮湿土壤的1.3~2.6倍。当土壤中八氯二丙醚添加浓度为0.2~10mg·kg-1时,其光解速率与添加浓度呈负相关关系;不同添加剂量的催化剂TiO2对八氯二丙醚的光解均表现出明显的光敏化作用,光解速率常数提高1.6~2.4倍。研究结果将为明确八氯二丙醚在土壤中的环境行为及其环境安全性评价提供科学依据。     

Molluscicidal activity of Aglaia duperreana and the constituents of its twigs and leaves

The methanol (MeOH) extract of the twigs and leaves of Aglaia duperreana was investigated for its molluscicidal activity against Pomacea canaliculata. The extract was found to exhibit significant molluscicidal activity. The ethyl acetate soluble fraction of the extract showed the most potent molluscicidal activity among different solvent fractions. The bioactivity-guided chemical investigation of the ethyl acetate soluble fraction led to a new triterpenoid along with 15 known compounds. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance techniques as well as mass spectroscopic analysis. The molluscicidal activities of compounds 2-16 against P. canaliculata were also investigated. Naringenin trimethyl ether showed significant molluscicidal activity with a median lethal concentration (LC(50)) of 3.9 μg/mL, which was indicated higher potency than the positive control, tea saponin (LC(50)=4.5 μg/mL).
