Structure identification for compound I separated and purified from taxoids-produced endophytic fungi (Alternaria. alternata var.taxi 1011)

Abstract

Endophytic fungi are widely found in almost all kinds of plants. Many endophytic fungi can produce some physiological active compounds, which are same to or analog to those isolated from their hosts. Producing physiological active compounds through microbial fermentation can give a new way to resolve resource limitation and to find out alternative source. Through the methods of organic solvent extraction, thin layer chromatography (TLC) and column chromatography, compound I was isolated, purified from the liquid fermentation metabolites of the taxoid-produced endophytic fungi (Altemaria. alternata var.taxi 1011 Y. Xiang et LU An-guo) that was screened from the bark ofTaxus. cuspidata Sieb. et Zucc., Compound I was identified as one kind of taxoids type III, based on the analyzing results by using the methods of ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV), infrared spectroscopy (IR), mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). This study provides a completed method for separation and purification of the endophytic fungi as well as structure identification of its fermentation metabolite.
