[0034] Example 1

[0035] The preparation of compound Epiroridin acid B comprises the following steps:

[0036] (1) Fermentation of Myrothecium roridum

[0037] Seed liquid fermentation: An appropriate amount of mycelium was picked from the PDA plate of the strain Myrothecium roridum (ATCC 16297) with an inoculation loop and inoculated into a 1 L conical flask containing 400 mL of ME culture medium. A total of 12 flasks were fermented and cultured on a constant temperature shaker at 28 °C and 180 rpm for 3 days.

[0038] Preparation of rice culture medium: 40 mL of seed liquid was aspirated and inoculated into the rice culture medium. A total of 100 flasks were fermented and cultured in a constant temperature environment at 28 °C for 28 days.

[0041] (3) Isolation and purification of secondary metabolites of Myrothecium roridum

[0042] Take 24.14 g of the paste and mix it with 25 g of silica gel for wet sample mixing. The sample was added to a silica gel column containing 250 g of silica gel by dry loading method. First, a gradient elution was carried out with petroleum ether - ethyl acetate as the elution system, and the elution ratios were: 1:0 (4 L), 50:1 (4 L), 25:1 (4 L), 10:1 (4 L), 5:1 (4 L), 2:1 (4 L), 1:1 (4 L), 0:1 (4 L); then a gradient elution was carried out with ethyl acetate - methanol as the elution volume, and the elution ratios were: 50:1 (2.4 L), 20:1 (2.4 L), 10:1 (2.4 L), 5:1 (2.4 L), 2:1 (4 L), 1:1 (2.4 L), 0:1 (4.5 L). A total of 15 fractions (Fr.G1 - 15) were obtained in sequence.

[0043] Take the fraction of Fr:G8 - Fr:G9 (462.67 mg), and separate and purify it by semi-preparative high performance liquid chromatography to obtain compound Epiroridin acid B. The preparation conditions are as follows: isocratic elution with 40% acetonitrile: 60% acidified water (1‰ formic acid water). Stationary phase: Fisher Wharton XBridge 5-μm C18 column (10×250 mm); flow rate: 2 mL / min; detection wavelength: 254 nm.

[0044] Structure analysis of Epiroridin acid B

[0045] Epiroridin acid B is a white powder. HR-ESI-MS m / z: 559.2200 [M-H] - (C 29 H 35 O 11 Calculated value 559.2185), and the molecular formula is C 29 H 36 O 11 , and the degree of unsaturation is 12. By analyzing 1 H-NMR (Table 1) data, it can be seen that this compound contains 3 methyl signals (δ H 0.73, s, 14-H3; 1.46, s; 12'-H3; 0.95, d, J = 6.2 Hz, 14'-H3), 2 characteristic hydrogen signals of exocyclic epoxides (δ H 2.79, d, J = 3.8 Hz; 3.05, d, J = 3.8 Hz, 13-H2), 5 olefinic proton signals (δ H 6.55, d, J = 4.8 Hz, 10-H; 6.18, dd, J = 15.7, 2.4 Hz, 7'-H; 7.20, dd, J = 15.7, 11.4 Hz, 8'-H; 6.75, t, J = 11.4 Hz, 9'-H; 5.77, d, J = 11.4 Hz, 10'-H;), and from these signal information, it can be speculated that this compound is a macrocyclic trichothecene compound. Combining the analysis of 13 C-NMR (Table 1) data, it can be determined that this compound contains 29 carbon units, and further determined that this compound contains 3 methyl signals (δ C 6.7, C-14; 16.9, C-12'; 17.9, C-14'), 3 carbonyl carbon signals (δ C 167.6, C-16; 168.0, C-1'; 166.1, C-11'), and there is 1 less carbonyl signal compared with verrucarin Z. Also combining the DEPT spectrum, it can be seen that there are 7 methylene groups (δ C34.4, C-3; 19.3, C-7; 21.8, C-8; 46.9, C-13; 63.0, C-15; 39.2, C-4'; 67.9, C-5'). Combined with 1 the H-NMR data and 13 the C-NMR data, it can be determined that the basic skeleton of this compound is basically the same as that of verrucarin Z. Figures 1 - 10 Analysis of the NOESY of the compound shows that there is a correlation between H-11 and H-4, and a correlation between H-4 and H-15. Thus, it is judged that H-4, H-11, and H-15 are in the same orientation, designated as β. Since there is no obvious NOESY correlation among H-2, H-13, and H-14, nor is there an obvious correlation with H-4, H-11, and H-15, referring to the literature, it is speculated that H-2, H-13, and H-14 are in the same orientation, which is α. Also, because there is a correlation between H-14 and H-12', it is judged that H-14 and H-12' are in the same orientation, which is α; there is a correlation between H-15 and H-6', so it is judged that H-15 and H-6' are in the same orientation, which is β. In addition, according to the chemical shift values of H-2' (δ H 3.50) and 13'-CH 3 (δ H 1.46), it shows that the epoxide is trans-substituted, that is, 12'-CH 3 and 2'-H are in opposite orientations, which is β. There is no obvious correlation between H-13' and other hydrogen signals. Finally, the absolute configuration of the compound is determined to be 2R, 4R, 5S, 6R, 11R, 12S, 2'S, 3'R, 6'R, 13'R by single crystal X-ray diffraction (the data is stored in the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre, no. CCDC - 2357112) ( Figure 12 ).

[0048] Example 2 Anti-tumor Efficacy Evaluation

[0049] The following method was used to resuscitate A375 (melanoma cells), HCT-116 (human colon cancer cells), and H23 (human non-small cell lung cancer cells): 1) Prepare a DMEM medium containing 10% (volume percentage concentration) fetal bovine serum and 1% double antibody (penicillin and streptomycin), and incubate it at 37 °C and 5% CO 2Place for 2 hours under the following conditions. 2) Take out the cryopreserved cells and dissolve them in a 37°C water bath. 3) After dissolution, aspirate the cells into an EP tube containing 2 ml of culture medium, pipette to mix well, and centrifuge at 3000 r / min for 3 min. 4) Discard the supernatant, add the culture medium obtained in step 1), gently pipette the cells to mix well, transfer them to a culture dish, and culture at 37°C and 5% CO 2 Culture for 24 hours under the conditions to resuscitate the cells.

[0050] Cell passage: 1) Inoculate the resuscitated cells in a culture dish and culture them in DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% double antibody. 2) When the cell confluence reaches 90%, aspirate the culture medium, add 500 μL of trypsin for digestion, and then add 2 mL of DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% double antibody, pipette to detach the cells. 3) Transfer the cells to a 15 mL EP tube and centrifuge at 3000 r / min for 3 min. 4) Discard the supernatant and resuspend in a new DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% double antibody to obtain a suspension of approximately 5×10 5 cells / ml.

[0051] MTT drug concentration screening: Inoculate the cell suspensions of A375, HCT-116, and H23 into 96-well plates at 100 μl / well respectively, transfer them to an incubator, and culture at 37°C and 5% CO 2 Culture under the conditions. When the culture time is 24 h and 80% of the cells are adherent, in the drug treatment group, aspirate the old culture medium, add 100 μl of Epiroridin acid B solution with a final concentration of 10 μM to each well, and culture for 48 h; in the control group, replace the Solanapyrone A solution with culture medium, and the others are the same as the drug treatment group; in the blank group, there are no cells and no drug solution is added. Aspirate the old culture medium, add 10 μl of MTT solution (5 mg / ml, i.e., 0.5% MTT, prepared with serum-free culture medium, and can be accelerated to dissolve in a water bath at 37°C or 60°C after vortex oscillation, pay attention to light protection) to each well, continue to culture for 3 h, and then aspirate the supernatant. Add 150 μl of DMSO to each well, shake gently on a shaker at low speed for 10 min to fully dissolve the crystals. Calculate the cell survival rate according to the following formula: Cell survival rate = (drug treatment group - control group) / (blank group - control group) × 100%.

[0052] The results showed that the inhibitory activities of Epiroridin acid B against A549, HCT-116 and H23 cells reached 99.59%, 98.43% and 94.42% respectively at a concentration of 10 μM. Then, the MTT drug concentration screening method was used to investigate the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of Epiroridin acid B and the positive drug control Sorafenib against A549, HCT-116 and H23 cells. The results are shown in Table 2. The IC50 values of Epiroridin acid against the above-mentioned cells were 0.097 μM, 0.052 μM and 0.023 μM, which were significantly lower than those of the positive drug.
