Fractionation of the ethyl acetate extract of the marine bacterium Bacillus pumilus isolated from the black coral Antipathes sp. led to the isolation of five compounds: cyclo-(L-Leu-L-Pro) (1), 3-hydroxyacetylindole (2), N-acetyl-β-oxotryptamine (3), cyclo-(L-Phe-L-Pro) (4), and 3-formylindole (5). The structures of compounds 1-5 were established by spectroscopic analyses, including HRESITOF-MS and NMR (1H, 13C, HSQC, HMBC and COSY). Compounds 2, 3 and 5 caused the inhibition on the growth of Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), with IC50 values of 20.6, 19.4 and 26.9 μM, respectively, with moderate cytotoxicity against Vero cells. Compounds 1-5 were found to be inactive when tested against Plasmodium falciparum and Leishmania donovani, therefore showing selectivity against T. cruzi parasites.
从黑珊瑚 Antipathes sp. 中分离出的海洋细菌 Bacillus pumilus 的乙酸乙酯提取物进行分段处理,得到了五个化合物:环-(L-Leu-L-Pro) (1)、3-羟基乙酰吲哚 (2)、N-乙酰-β-氧色胺 (3)、环-(L-Phe-L-Pro) (4)和 3-甲酰吲哚 (5)。通过包括 HRESITOF-MS 和 NMR (1H、13C、HSQC、HMBC 和 COSY) 在内的光谱分析确定了化合物 1-5 的结构。化合物 2、3 和 5 对 Trypanosoma cruzi(T. cruzi)的生长有抑制作用,IC50 值分别为 20.6、19.4 和 26.9 μM,对 Vero 细胞具有中等的细胞毒性。当测试对疟原虫和利什曼原虫时,化合物 1-5 没有活性,因此对 T. cruzi 寄生虫表现出选择性。
