Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of microbial metabolite technology, and more specifically to a polyketide compound japonidiene D, its preparation method, and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Microbial metabolites are chemical substances produced by microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes) through their metabolic activities during growth, reproduction, or response to environmental changes. These products are not only crucial for microbial survival and adaptation but also widely used in medicine, agriculture, industry, and food. Among these, fungal metabolites account for about half of all microbial metabolites and possess advantages such as high yield, novel structure, significant activity, high "innovation index," and high "drug-likeness," making them a new highlight in current research on microbial natural product pesticides. In-depth exploration of novel agricultural lead compounds in fungi will become a breakthrough in the creation and development of novel microbial natural product pesticides.
[0003] Polyketides are naturally occurring secondary metabolites produced by bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals. In terms of bioactivity, studies have found that some polyketides significantly inhibit weed growth, effectively controlling weed growth and even causing weed death. Naturally derived polyketides have significant advantages and potential as biopesticides in weed control. Compared to chemically synthesized herbicides, they are environmentally friendly, have less impact on ecological balance, and reduce the risk of environmental pollution. Furthermore, polyketides possess rich structural diversity; through structural modification and optimization, it is expected to obtain bioherbicides with higher activity and greater selectivity, showing broad application prospects.
[0004] However, at present, there are relatively few types of polyketide compounds from natural sources with herbicidal functions, resulting in poor selectivity.

[0054] (4) Activity test: In a clean bench, sterilized filter paper was placed into a 12-well plate and divided into the following groups for the experiment:
[0055] Treatment group 1: 300 μL of mother liquor of polyketide compound japonicine D (dissolved in methanol and dried) + 300 μL of sterile water (the methanol has been dried, so the total solvent is actually 300 μL);
[0056] Control group: 300 μL sterile water;
[0057] Treatment group 2: 300 μL glyphosate stock solution (positive control);
[0058] Each group was set up with 3 replicates, with 10 seeds in each replicate. After sealing, the seeds were placed in an artificial incubator and cultured for 96 hours. The root shoot length of the seeds was measured, and the inhibition rates of the polyketide compound japonidiene D and glyphosate on the germination of Amaranthus retroflexus seeds were calculated. The experimental results are shown in Table 2.
[0059] The calculation formula is:
[0060] Bud (root) inhibition rate (%) = [Bud (root) length of blank control group - Bud (root) length of treatment group] / Bud (root) length of blank control group × 100%.

[0064] Results analysis: As shown in Table 2, the polyketide compound japoniciene D has a strong inhibitory activity on the germination of Amaranthus retroflexus seeds. At a concentration of 0.2 mg / mL, the inhibition rate of shoot growth of Amaranthus retroflexus seeds was 64.15%, which was better than the positive control herbicide glyphosate at 45.08%.
