Detailed Implementation

[0013] The following examples further illustrate specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for illustration and explanation and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0014] Example 1: Application of acid anhydride compounds 1 and 2 as drugs for the prevention and control of citrus pathogen Penicillium finger and human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

[0015] The acid anhydride compounds are compound 1 (glaucanic acid) and compound 2 (glauconic acid), as shown in Formula I:

[0016] The preparation process of anhydride compound 1 (glaucanic acid) can be found in the literature. Natural Product Research The preparation process of compound 2 (glauconic acid) is described in the literature, 2024, 38(4), 696. Anhui Agricultural Science The method is described in , 2015, 43(21), 1. It can also be synthesized using existing chemical synthesis methods.

[0017] Compound 1 and Compound 2 have the following physicochemical and spectroscopic properties: Compound 1: Colorless crystals; melting point 172-174℃; chemical formula C 18 H 20 O6; Specific rotation [α] = +185.0 ( c0.15, MeOH); UV (MeOH) λmax (log ε) 214 (0.15), 259 (–0.10) nm; ECD λmax(Δε) 207 (–2.12), 242 (2.22) nm; 1 H-NMR and 13 C-NMR data are shown in Table 1.

[0021] Example 2: Inhibitory activity against agricultural pathogens and human pathogens The inhibitory activity of compounds 1 and 2 (shown in Formula I) against agricultural pathogens and human pathogens was determined using the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method. The following agricultural pathogens and human pathogens were selected as test bacteria: Agricultural pathogens: Penicillium fingerlings Penicillium digitatum Human pathogen: Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pseudomonas aeruginosa Antibacterial activity test: 1) Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay: The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is the lowest concentration of a drug that can inhibit the growth of microorganisms in vitro. In a 96-well microplate, different concentrations of the drug are added to the bacterial suspension of the test bacteria. After incubation, observation is performed. If the indicator bacteria can grow in a well, it means that the corresponding drug concentration in that well cannot inhibit the growth of the bacteria; the liquid in that well will be turbid, and the light transmittance will be significantly reduced. Conversely, if the indicator bacteria cannot grow in a well, the liquid in that well will be clear, and the decrease in light transmittance will not be significant. The lowest sample concentration that completely inhibits the growth of the indicator bacteria in a well is the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the compound.

[0022] 2) Preparation of bacterial suspension: The tested bacteria were inoculated into culture media (Sabella medusae var. agar for Penicillium fingerlings and LB broth for Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and incubated at 28°C for 24 hours. Afterward, 4 mL of sterile 0.85% NaCl solution (fungal physiological saline containing 0.25% Tween 20) was used to wash the culture medium, and the hyphae were gently scraped off with a glass scraper. An appropriate amount of the hyphal suspension was pipetted into a sterile test tube, and then adjusted to 0.5 McFarland turbidity (equivalent to 1.5 × 10⁻⁶) with 0.85% NaCl solution. 8 The concentration was (CFU / mL) and further diluted to 5 × 10⁻⁶ with 0.85% NaCl solution. 5 CFU / mL.

[0023] 0.5 McFarland turbidity standard: Add 0.5 mL × 0.048 mol / L BaCl2 (1.175% w / v BaCl2·2H2O) to 99.5 mL × 0.18 mol / L (0.36 N) H2SO4 (1% v / v) and stir continuously to maintain suspension.

[0024] 3) Sample preparation: Take approximately 1 mg of the test samples (compounds 1 and 2 obtained above) and positive controls (amphotericidal B and chloramphenicol), respectively, and dissolve them in approximately 100 μL of DMSO. After thorough mixing, the final concentration is 2560 μg / mL. Pipette 50 μL of the sample solution into another centrifuge tube, and then add 50 μL of DMSO to obtain a sample solution with half the concentration. Repeat this process sequentially to obtain a total of 11 sets of sample solutions with successively halved concentrations (serial dilutions) (2560, 1280, 640, 320, 160, 80, 40, 20, 10, 5, 2.5 μg / mL).

[0025] 4) Blank control: Select the pure solvent that has not dissolved the test sample as a blank control.

[0026] 5) MIC measurement procedure: 5.1) Using aseptic technique, the sample solutions of different concentrations after serial dilution were added to sterile 96-well plates. 5 μL of sample solution was added to wells 1 to 11, and well 12 was left untreated as a growth control.

[0027] 5.2) Dilute the indicator bacterial suspension (equivalent to 0.5 McFarland turbidity) 1000 times with liquid culture medium (Sabourellow's medium for Penicillium digitatum, LB medium for Pseudomonas aeruginosa), and add 95 μL of each solution sequentially to 96-well plates, so that the final sample concentrations in wells 1 to 11 are 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25, and 0.125 μg / mL, respectively. Gently shake to mix, seal the 96-well plate and incubate at 28°C for 24 h before observation.

[0028] 5.3) Measure the absorbance of each well at 600 nm using a microplate reader. The lowest sample concentration that completely inhibits the growth of indicator bacteria in the well is taken as the MIC value of the compound. Note: The experiment is only meaningful when the indicator bacteria show obvious growth in the growth control well; when a single well skips a test, the highest drug concentration that inhibits the growth of the strain should be recorded; if multiple wells skip a test, the results should not be reported, and the experiment should be repeated.

[0029] The experimental results showed that compounds 1 and 2 were effective against the citrus pathogen Penicillium fingernail. Penicillium digitatum Both compounds exhibited significant inhibitory activity, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 2.0 μg / mL and 1.0 μg / mL, respectively. The MIC of the positive control amphotericin B was 2.0 μg / mL. Compounds 1 and 2 also showed significant inhibitory activity against the human pathogen *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*. Pseudomonas aeruginosa The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was 2.0 μg / mL, which was comparable to that of the positive control chloramphenicol (MIC = 2.0 μg / mL).

[0030] The above experimental results demonstrate that the compounds involved in this invention have a strong inhibitory effect on agricultural pathogens such as Penicillium finger and human pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and can be used to prepare novel fungicides or as lead compounds for fungicides.
