[0028] Example 2: Preparation process of norofuran

[0029] The fermentation broth was extracted three times with an equal volume of ethyl acetate. The resulting ethyl acetate extract was then removed by vacuum distillation using a rotary evaporator to obtain a concentrated solution. The concentrated solution was separated by silica gel column chromatography using a mixed solvent gradient of dichloromethane and methanol at ratios of 100:1, 80:1, 50:1, 30:1, 20:1, 10:1, 5:1, 1:1, and 0:1.

An Agilent Pursuit C18 column (21.2 × 250 mm, 10 μm) was used with a detection wavelength of 210 nm. A methanol-water system (45%–60% by volume) was used for gradient elution at 10 mL / min for 40 min. The eluent from 12.7 to 14.5 min was collected to obtain the compound norofuran.

[0033] Example 4: Lipid-lowering activity of norofuran

[0034] HepG2 cells were cultured in DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) at 37°C and 5% CO2 under saturated humidity. Every 3 days, the cells were digested with 0.25% trypsin and passaged at a ratio of 1:3. Cells in the logarithmic growth phase were collected, suspended, and seeded into 24-well plates. After incubation for 24 hours, the experiment was divided into 3 groups: ① Blank control group: cultured in DMEM medium containing 10% FBS for 24 hours; ② Model group: cultured in DMEM medium containing 1mM oleic acid for 24 hours; ③ Sample group: cultured in DMEM medium containing 1mM oleic acid and 10μM phenoxyfuran for 24 hours.

[0035] After removing the culture medium from each group, the cells were washed three times with PBS. 80 μL of 4% paraformaldehyde was added to each well for fixation for 40 min, followed by three washes with PBS. The cells were then treated with 60% isopropanol / water for 10 min, and then 50 μL of Oil Red working solution (prepared from a stock solution of 0.3 g / 100 mL Oil Red / isopropanol and water at a volume ratio of 3:2) was added for 20 min. The Oil Red working solution was then removed, and the cells were washed three times with PBS. Intracellular lipid droplet staining was observed using an inverted microscope. The stained lipid droplets were dissolved in 80 μL of isopropanol, and the OD value was measured at 520 nm using a microplate reader.
