Abstract
Objective
To study bioactive compounds from the endophytic fungus Penicillium sp. HJT-A-6 isolated from stem of Rhodiola tibetica, and evaluate its allelopathic activity.
Methods
The chemical constituents were isolated and purified by silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and semi-preparative HPLC. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. In addition, the allelopathic activity of compound 1 was evaluated by measuring the seed germination rate of R. tibetica.
Results
Two new polyketides 4-hydroxy-3,6-dimethyl-2H-pyran-2-one (1) and penilactone E (2), together with six known compounds walterolactone A (3), 5-hydroxyhexan-4-olide (4), 3-methyl-2-penten-5-olide (5), chaetoquadrin F (6), (Z)-6-acetyl-3-(1,2-dihydroxypropylidene)-5-hydroxy-8-methylchroman-2-one (7) and 4-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyhexanoyl)-5-methylfuran-2(5H)-one (8) were isolated from Penicillium sp. HJT-A-6. Compound 1 showed moderate seed-germination-promoting activity at a concentration of 0.001 mg/mL while inhibiting the seed germination at concentrations of 0.1 and 0.01 mg/mL. Compared with the positive drug 6-benzyladenine (6-BA), compound 1 could extend the seed-germination period of R. tibetica (up to 11 d).
Conclusion
Two new compounds were isolated from R. tibetica endophytic fungus Penicillium sp. HJT-A-6. Compound 1 displayed plant hormone-like activity, which inhibited the seed germination of the host plant at high concentrations and promoted the seed germination of the host plant at low concentrations. The results not only enrich the chemical constituents of the endophytic fungi isolated from Rhodiola tibetica, but also provide a theoretical basis for understanding the interaction mechanism between Rhodiola tibetica endophytic fungi and the host plant.
期刊介绍:
Chinese Herbal Medicines is intended to disseminate the latest developments and research progress in traditional and herbal medical sciences to researchers, practitioners, academics and administrators worldwide in the field of traditional and herbal medicines. The journal's international coverage ensures that research and progress from all regions of the world are widely included.
CHM is a core journal of Chinese science and technology. The journal entered into the ESCI database in 2017, and then was included in PMC, Scopus and other important international search systems. In 2019, CHM was successfully selected for the “China Science and Technology Journal Excellence Action Plan” project, which has markedly improved its international influence and industry popularity. CHM obtained the first impact factor of 3.8 in Journal Citation Reports (JCR) in 2023.
