Liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) analysis of a Namibian strain of showed the presence of a number of yessotoxins (YTXs). Principal among these were YTX (), homoYTX (), and a tentative hydroxylated analogue that did not correspond to any previously confirmed YTX structures. Culturing the strain afforded sufficient biomass for purification of the new analogue through a series of solvent partitioning and chromatographic steps, yielding ∼0.9 mg as a solid. NMR spectroscopy, ion-trap mass spectrometry, and HRMS identified the new analogue as 24-hydroxyYTX (). Purified 24-hydroxyYTX was quantitated by NMR, and its relative toxicity evaluated using two embryonic zebrafish toxicity assays. 24-HydroxyYTX demonstrated reduced toxicity compared to YTX.
液相色谱-高分辨质谱(LC-HRMS)分析表明,纳米比亚的一种 菌株中存在多种膝沟藻毒素(YTXs)。其中主要的有 YTX()、同型 YTX()和一种暂定的羟基类似物,与以前确认的任何 YTX 结构都不对应。该 菌株的培养提供了足够的生物量,通过一系列溶剂分配和色谱步骤对新的类似物进行纯化,得到约 0.9 毫克的固体。NMR 光谱、离子阱质谱和 HRMS 鉴定出这种新的类似物为 24-羟基 YTX()。通过 NMR 对纯化的 24-羟基 YTX 进行定量,并使用两种胚胎斑马鱼毒性测定来评估其相对毒性。与 YTX 相比,24-羟基 YTX 的毒性降低。
