Natural products offer unmatched chemical and structural diversity compared to other small-molecule libraries, but traditional natural product discovery programs are not sustainable, demanding too much time, effort, resources. Here we report a strain prioritization method for discovery. Central the is application of real-time PCR, targeting genes characteristic biosynthetic machinery with distinct scaffolds in high-throughput format. The practicality effectiveness were showcased by...
Hericium erinaceus, a culinary and medicinal mushroom, is widely consumed in Asian countries. Chemical investigation on the fruiting bodies of erinaceus led to isolation one new ergostane-type sterol fatty acid ester, erinarol K (1); eleven known compounds: 5α,8α -epidioxyergosta-6,22-dien-3β-yl linoleate (2); ethyl (3); linoleic (4); hericene A (5); D (6); E (7); ergosta-4,6,8(14),22-tetraen-3-one (8); hericenone F (9); ergosterol (10); peroxide (11);...
Tautomycetin (TTN) is a polyketide natural product featuring terminal alkene. Functional characterization of the genes within ttn gene cluster from Streptomyces griseochromogenes established biosynthesis TTN backbone, its dialkylmaleic anhydride moiety, coupling two moieties to form nascent intermediate F-1, and tailoring steps converting F-1 TTN. Here, we report biochemical structural TtnD, prenylated FMN (prFMN)-dependent decarboxylase belonging UbiD family that catalyzes penultimate step...
The essential oil from Phytolacca dodecandra, a traditional herb of Ethiopia, has been studied, including the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity. difference between four P. dodecandra samples (P-1⁻P-4), which differed in gender or location, also analyzed. oils were obtained by steam distillation, while aromas extracted head space solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) both analyzed gas chromatography- mass spectrometry (GC-MS). oils' activities evaluated microdilution method...
Morchella sextelata, one of the true morels, has recently been artificially cultivated with stable production in China. Analysis variations primary metabolites during vegetative stages M. sextelata is critical for understanding metabolic process. In this study, three developmental were categorized based on morphological and changes, including young mushroom period, marketable mature physiological maturity period. Untargeted metabolomics-based mass spectrometry was used to analyze change...
Morchella sextelata is an edible and medicinal fungus with high nutritional, medicinal, economic value. Recently, M. has been produced through artificial cultivation in China, but its stable production remains problematic because the details of growth development process are limitedly understood. Herein, to investigate dynamic development, we integrated transcriptomics metabolomics data from three developmental stages: young mushroom period (YMP), marketable mature (MMP), physiological...
Two new C 19 -diterpenoid alkaloids, liljestrandinine (1) and N-deethyltalatisamine (2) were isolated from the roots of Aconitum liljestrandii along with five known alkaloids: chasmaconitine (4), forestine (5), pengshenine B (6), cammaconine (7), 6-epi-foresticine (8).Structures established by spectroscopic method including 2D NMR.In course our comparative studies on diterpenoid alkaloids Delphinium species, 1~5 we investigated (Ranunculaceae). 6The plant is endemic to China its are used for...
A chiral tetralin norsesquiterpenoid, ligukangtinol, was isolated from the plant Ligularia kangtingensis. Its planar structure determined by extensive analysis of spectroscopic data (MS, IR, and NMR), (1S,3R) absolute configuration ring established TDDFT-ECD calculations solution conformers. Conformational ECD proved that semiempirical helicity rules 6-hydroxytetralins correlating (1)L(b) Cotton effect P/M fused carbocyclic correctly predicts thus can be used for configurational assignment...
The aconitine-type alkaloids talatisamine (1), 8,14-diacetyltalatisamine (11), and compound 3, the lycoctonine-type alkaloid deltaline (5), 7,17-seco C19-diterpenoid 7 9 were treated with HBr–glacial acetic acid to give useful O-demethylated derivatives 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 respectively in good high yields (49–90%).
