Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to two natural products derived from microorganisms, and specifically relates to two compounds with anti-osteoporosis effects, as well as their preparation methods and applications. Background Art

[0002] Osteoporosis (OP) is an abnormal bone metabolic disease, the main feature of which is the imbalance between osteoblast bone formation and osteoclast bone resorption, resulting in the osteoclast bone resorption ability being stronger than the osteoblast bone formation ability, and further leading to bone mass loss and bone mass reduction. Osteoporosis is a common bone disease. In patients, the bone tissue structure degenerates, bone mass decreases, brittleness increases, and the risk of fracture increases, affecting millions of people worldwide. Especially in the elderly population, sarcopenia is often accompanied, and there is a high correlation between sarcopenia and osteoporosis. In China, the situation of severe population aging is severe, and the understanding of the degeneration of the motor system should be emphasized, which is beneficial to improving the physical fitness and quality of life of the elderly. With the intensification of the aging trend of the whole society and people's pursuit of a healthy life in old age, the future demand for anti-osteoporosis drug treatment is huge.

[0003] Anti-osteoporosis drugs mainly include basic supplements, bone resorption inhibitors, and bone formation promoters according to the occurrence of the disease. The basic drugs for drug treatment are mainly calcium agents and vitamin D. Clinically, inhibiting osteoclast bone resorption is the main treatment measure, and the drugs are mainly bisphosphonates, estrogen and its receptor modulators, and calcitonin. There are certain limitations and side effects in the long-term use and dose maintenance of these drugs in clinical treatment, and it is still necessary to further research anti-osteoporosis drugs with high efficacy and low side effects for clinical application.

[0039] The present invention will be further illustrated below in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and not to limit the scope of the present invention. After reading the present invention, those skilled in the art's various equivalent forms of modification of the present invention fall within the scope defined by the appended claims of this application.

[0040] In the following examples Talaromyces pinophilus (CICC 2707) is the preservation number of the standard strain publicly sold by the China Center for Industrial Culture Collection.

[0041] Example 1 Preparation of the new compound acetosellin B and the compound acetosellin C Take the fungus Talaromyces pinophilus (CICC 2707) and inoculate it on a PDA plate. After culturing in an incubator at 28 °C for 2 - 3 days, transfer it to 100 bottles of wort liquid medium (400 mL per bottle) and continue to culture on a shaker at 28 °C for 14 days. After fermentation, filter the fermentation broth with double-layer gauze. Extract it 3 times with ethyl acetate, combine the ethyl acetate extracts, and recover the solvent to obtain 11.5 g of ethyl acetate extract.

[0042] Perform column chromatography separation on the ethyl acetate extract with normal-phase silica gel, elute with an ethyl acetate - petroleum ether (volume ratio 1:0 - 0:1) gradient, collect the fractions to obtain fractions F1 - F28; according to TLC thin-layer analysis, combine fractions F16 - 28, and perform separation using medium-pressure preparative chromatography ODS column. Elute with a methanol aqueous solution with a volume concentration of 10% - 100% gradient, detect at 254 and 310 nm to obtain 19 components F29 - F47. Perform preparative liquid-phase HPLC separation on fraction F39, with the mobile phase being CH3CN:H2O with a volume ratio of 23:77, the chromatographic column being Eclipse XDB-C18 column, with a specification of 9.4 × 250 mm, 5 µm, and a flow rate of 2.0 mL / min. Separate to obtain R Compound 1 with t = 18 min, named acetosellin B.

[0043] Perform preparative liquid-phase HPLC separation on fraction F38, with the mobile phase being CH3CN:H2O with a volume ratio of 28:72, the chromatographic column being Eclipse XDB-C18 column, with a specification of 9.4 × 250 mm, 5 µm, and a flow rate of 2.0 mL / min. Separate to obtain R Compound 2 with t = 15 min, named acetosellin C.

[0044] Structural analysis of acetosellin B (1): Pale yellow solid,1 1H NMR and 13 13C NMR data are shown in Table 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3 ; High-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS): m / z 399.1034 (C 21 1 19 8 + O, Calcd. 399.1080), and the mass spectrometry data are shown in Figure 1 . The relative molecular weight was determined to be 398, and the molecular formula was C 21 1 18 8 1 O with thirteen degrees of unsaturation. The 1H-NMR spectrum of 1 showed one methyl δ H 1.78 (s, H3-16), five methylenes δ H 4.28 (dt, J J = 16.9, 3.0 Hz, H-1a), 4.57 (dd, J J = 16.9, 1.5 Hz, H-1b), 2.64 (d, J J = 18.2 Hz, H-4a), 2.76 (ddt, J J = 18.2, 10.0, 3.0 Hz, H-4b), 3.53 (m, H2-17). The 13C-NMR spectrum of 1 showed twenty-one carbon resonances, including six aromatic carbons [δ 13 117.2 (C-6), 156.3 (C-7), 109.8 (C-12), 146.8 (C-13), 117.2 (C-14), and 143.1 (C-15)], four olefinic carbons [δ C -137.9 (C-1'), 132.2 (C-2'), 143.6 (C-3'), and 124.7 (C-4')], and three carbonyls [δ C 195.7 (C-9), 165.8 (C-11), and 167.6 (C-5')]. The 1H and 13C NMR spectral data of 1 were similar to those of acetosellin, and the side chain was no longer heptene but pentadienoic acid. The HMBC correlation of δ C 6.13 (H-4') with δ 1 167.6 (C-5') further confirmed the carboxyl group at the C-5' position in 1. 13 13 H 6.13 (H-4') with δ C 167.6 (C-5') further confirmed the carboxyl group at the C-5' position in 1. Figures 2 - 8 for H-1' / H-2' / H-3' / H-4' of1 H- 1 H COSY correlations and δ H 7.61 (H-1') and δ C 143.1 (C-15), δ C 117.2 (C-14), δ H 7.45 (H-3') and δ C 137.9 (C-1'), δ C 132.2 (C-2'), δ C The HMBC correlations of 124.7 (C-4') with 7.61 (H-1'), 143.1 (C-15), 117.2 (C-14), 7.45 (H-3'), 137.9 (C-1'), and 132.2 (C-2') indicate that the pentadienoic acid is attached to the benzene ring at C-15.

[0045] Compound acetosellin C (2): Pale yellow solid. High-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS): m / z 383.1132 (C 21 H 19 O7 - , Cacl. 383.1131), and the mass spectrometry data are shown in Figure 9 . A careful comparison of the 1D NMR data of 2 and 1 indicates that they are analogues with similar structures. Compound 2 has one less carbonyl group than 1, which is attributed to the replacement of the C-5' carbonyl group in 1 by the methylene signal H-5' (δ H 4.06, d, J = 4.9 Hz) in 2.

[0046] To determine the absolute configurations of compounds 1 and 2, the electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra of all possible stereoisomers of 1 and 2 were calculated using time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) of quantum mechanics ( Figure 18 ). Figures 12 - 18 By comparing the calculated ECD spectra of the isomers (3 S , 8 S ), (3 R , 8 S ), (3 S , 8 R ), and (3 R , 7 R ), their absolute stereochemistries were determined to be 8 S . Interestingly, the chiral carbon (C-3) on the side chain has little effect on the overall ECD spectrum. First, the observed 13 C NMR data were compared with the calculated values of the two isomers by using carbon spectrum calculation and DP4+ probability analysis to determine the absolute configuration of C-3 in compounds 1 and 2. The experimental 13 C NMR data of 1 and 2 were compared with those of 3 SThe calculated data of the isomers matched, with DP4+ probabilities of 80.05% and 68.10% respectively ( Figure 19 and Figure 21 ), confirming that their absolute configurations are 3 S and 8 S .

[0049] Example 2 Evaluation of anti-osteoporosis activity Wild-type AB strain zebrafish at 3 dpf were randomly selected and placed in 24-well plates. All tested zebrafish were treated with 25 μM prednisolone to establish an osteoporosis model. Meanwhile, the test groups were given 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 8 μM of acetosellin B (1) and acetosellin C (2), and the positive group was given 60 μM of the positive drug etidronate disodium. After culturing at 28 °C for 5 days, they were sacrificed, fixed, decolorized, stained with alizarin red, photographed, and data were collected. The average optical density value of the zebrafish skull was statistically analyzed, and the statistical results were expressed as mean ± SD.
