Many endophytic fungi can produce some physio-logical active compounds, which are same to or analog to those isolated from their hosts. Producing physiological active com-pounds 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 taxoids-produced endophytic fungi (Alternaria. alternata var. taxi 1011 Y. Xiang et LU An-guo) that was screened from the bark of Taxus. 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 com-pleted method for separation and purification of the endophytic fungi as well as structure identification of its fermentation me-tabolite展开更多

A quick and convenient assay for screening antimicrotubule compounds in which in vitro microdialysis/high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） is used to monitor the binding of the compounds extracted from TCM Taxus cuspidata Siebold ＆ Zucc（Taxus） to microtubules is reported. It was observed that the extract of Taxus contains at least five compounds which have affinity interaction with microtubules by biological fingerprinting analysis, and they were identified as the taxoids of taxol, baccatin III, 10-deacetylbaccatin Ⅲ（10-DAB）, cephalomannine and 7-epi-10-deacetyltaxol （7-epi-10-DAT） based on the comparison of their high-performance liquid chromatographic/mass spectrometric and UV spectra with those of the standard samples, both assembly-promoting and disassembly-inhibiting characteristics of those compounds were evaluated. It was observed that baccatin Ⅲ and 10-DAB bound to microtubules and the binding degrees were influenced by GTP. Competitive binding behavior of taxol with other four taxoids to microtubules was also investigated.展开更多

We have also investigated in detail the fragmentation of various molecular-related ions, such as [M+H]+, [M+Na]+ and [M-H] ions, and the formation pathways of characteristic fragment ions. It has been found that there exists some competing reaction between the loss of C-13 side chain and decomposition by loss of acetic acid. In addition, by comparing CID spectra obtained with low- and high-energy collision, it is seen that CID-MS/MS with low-energy collision is more suitable for the study of the structural analysis of small molecules and drug metabolites. The experimental results demonstrate that MS/MS spectra can reflect more effectively the slight difference of structure between the related展开更多

Hie facile intramolecular acyl migration from 5- to 20-position under slightly basic conditions enabled the construction of the oxetane ring in a convenient short cut, whereas the acyl migration from 2- to 20-position left the 2-hydroxyl accessible to a later benzoylation. An unexpected five-mem-bered 4-O, 20- O sulfite ring was formed in the attempted construction of the oxetane ring with 5α-triflate as a leaving group. After the construction of the oxetane ring, treatment with strong base LiHMDS and acetyl chloride gave the expected 4-O-acetate while treatment with acetic anhydride and DMAP gave a 4-O-acetoacetate.展开更多
