The biotransformation of tanshinone IIA to a new antibacterial agent tanshisorbicin (1) by the fungus Hypocrea sp. (AS 3.17108) is described. The structure of tanshisorbicin is a hybrid of tanshinone IIA (2) and sorbicillinol (3). The latter is a metabolite produced by Hypocrea sp. The structure of tanshisorbicin was determined using mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, and ECD calculations. The anti-MRSA activity of 1 was found to be significantly higher than that of the parent substrate Tan IIA. Preliminary experiments indicate that tanshisorbicin is formed via a [4+2] cycloaddition reaction that is likely catalyzed by microbial enzyme.
该文描述了真菌Hypocrea sp.(AS 3.17108)将丹参酮 IIA 生物转化为新型抗菌剂丹参辛(1)。丹参辛的结构是丹参酮 IIA(2)和山梨醇(3)的杂合体。后者是 Hypocrea sp. 产生的代谢物。通过质谱、NMR 光谱和 ECD 计算确定了丹参辛的结构。发现 1 的抗耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)活性明显高于母体底物 Tan IIA。初步实验表明,丹参辛是通过[4+2]环加成反应形成的,该反应可能由微生物酶催化。
