3-Nitropropionic acid (3-NPA, 1) was found in extracts of several strains of endophytic fungi. 3-NPA (1) exhibited potent antimycobacterial activity with the minimum inhibition concentration of 3.3 microM, but was inactive against NCI-H187, BC, KB, and Vero cell lines. Endophytes were found to produce high levels of 3-NPA (1), and therefore 3-NPA (1) accumulated in certain plants may be produced by the associated endophytes. 3-NPA (1) may be used as a chemotaxonomic marker for endophytic fungi. The structure of 3-hydroxypropionic acid, a nematicidal agent, should be revised to 3-NPA (1).
在几种内生真菌菌株的提取物中发现了3-硝基丙酸(3-NPA,1)。3-NPA(1)表现出强大的抗分枝杆菌活性,最低抑菌浓度为3.3微摩尔,但对NCI-H187、BC、KB和Vero细胞系无活性。发现内生菌能产生高水平的3-NPA(1),因此某些植物中积累的3-NPA(1)可能是由相关内生菌产生的。3-NPA(1)可作为内生真菌的化学分类标记。杀线虫剂3-羟基丙酸的结构应修订为3-NPA(1)。
