Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of natural compound extraction, separation and natural pharmaceutical chemistry, and particularly relates to a Sorbicillinoids new compound, an extraction and separation method thereof and application. BACKGROUND

[0002] Sorbicillinoids is a kind of natural compound produced by secondary metabolism of fungi. Sorbicillinoids is a family of characteristic yellow hexaketide compounds first isolated from various fungal strains of marine and terrestrial origin, with characteristic absorption at 370 nm. In 1948, Cram and Tishler reported the isolation and structural identification of several Sorbicillinoids compounds. Over the years, more members of the family have been isolated from fungal strains collected in different environments. The C1-C6 sorbyl side chain is a structural feature of this family. Recognizing this structural similarity, and finding that the family has no "official" name, the word "Sorbicillinoids" is used to include the entire family of compounds.

[0003] Sorbicillinoids compounds have complex structures and multiple biological activities, and many Sorbicillinoids compounds have been isolated and identified. Identifying new Sorbicillinoids substances and their potential medical and biotechnological applications can serve as a potential source of new therapeutic agents and new drugs, and have extremely high research value.

[0004] Trichoderma reesei is an important industrial production strain, which meets the GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe) standard, and its fermentation products have been widely used in food, feed and other industries. Trichoderma reesei is easy to expand culture and has been applied to enzyme preparation production industry in various countries. Literature reports that Trichoderma reesei produces 11% of the world's enzyme preparations. Trichoderma reesei is the only strain in the genus Trichoderma that can produce Sorbicillinoids compounds, with high yield, and the fermentation broth shows characteristic yellow color. Previous studies have found that the crude extract of Trichoderma reesei Sorbicillinoids has antioxidant and anticancer activities, and is particularly significant for inhibiting malignant melanoma. Is there a new type of Sorbicillinoids substance in Trichoderma reesei-derived Sorbicillinoids substance that has never been reported? This is a scientific problem worthy of study. The separation and identification of new Sorbicillinoids substances can discover new synthesis pathways and synthesis enzymes of Sorbicillinoids, and can be a potential source of new therapeutic agents and new drugs, which has very high research and application value.
