Microbial Oxidation of the Fusidic Acid Side Chain by Cunninghamella echinulata.

ABSTRACT: Biotransformation of fusidic acid (1) was accomplished using a battery of microorganisms including Cunninghamella echinulata NRRL 1382, which converted fusidic acid (1) into three new metabolites 2?4 and the known metabolite 5. These metabolites were identified using 1D and 2D NMR and HRESI-FTMS data. Structural assignment of the compounds was supported via computation of ¹H- and 13C-NMR chemical shifts. Compounds 2 and 3 were assigned as the 27-hydroxy and 26-hydroxy derivatives of fusidic acid, respectively. Subsequent oxidation of 3 afforded aldehyde 4 and the dicarboxylic acid 5. Compounds 2, 4 and 5 were screened for antimicrobial activity against different Gram positive and negative bacteria, Mycobacterium smegmatis, M. intercellulare and Candida albicans. The compounds showed lower activity compared to fusidic acid against the tested strains. Molecular docking studies were carried out to assist the structural assignments and predict the binding modes of the metabolites.

Project description:Beef is rich in nutrients and is one of the most important ingredients in the world. But in the process of cooking and heating, the nutrients of beef will change to varying degrees. How temperature affects the oxidation of lipids and proteins in beef, and the modification of amino acid residues is unclear. This study intended to heat beef at different roasting temperatures (150 °C, 190 °C, 230 °C, 270 °C, 310 °C), measure parameter including colour, peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), thiol and carbonyl content, protein solubility, tryptophan and Schiff base content, protein molecular weight distribution and modification of amino acid residues to discussed the effects of different temperatures on the lipid and protein oxidation of beef patties, as well as the modification of amino acid residues. The results showed that the values of L* and b* increased with the temperature increased, and the values of a* decreased. With the increase of temperature, the lipid oxidation indexes PV and TBARS, Schiff base and carbonyl content also increased, and the thiol content and protein solubility decreased significantly (p < 0.001). SDS-PAGE showed that the band of myosin heavy chain (MHC, 220 kDa) was significantly degraded, while the band of actin (42 kDa) was still clearly visible. The analysis of UPLC-MS/MS results found that the aromatic amino acid residues in all samples were oxidized to a certain extent, especially tryptophan. Other oxidative modifications, including α-amiooadipic acid (AAA), hydroxyethyl lysine (CEL) and malondialdehyde (MDA), were only present in roasted samples and not in raw meat. The results suggested that lipid oxidation and protein oxidation were closely related to colour parameters. The oxidation of proteins and lipids was aggravated at higher temperature. Amino acid side chains were also modified at high temperature, and this change was particularly evident in aromatic amino acids. These results provided new insights for the oxidation of proteins and lipids of beef and the modification level of amino acid residues under high temperature conditions, which will help us to improve the cooking quality of meat foods.

Project description:Seven metabolites were obtained from the microbial transformation of anabolic-androgenic steroid mibolerone (1) with Cunninghamella blakesleeana, C. echinulata, and Macrophomina phaseolina. Their structures were determined as 10β,17β-dihydroxy-7α,17α-dimethylestr-4-en-3-one (2), 6β,17β-dihydroxy-7α,17α-dimethylestr-4-en-3-one (3), 6β,10β,17β-trihydroxy-7α,17α-dimethylestr-4-en-3-one (4), 11β,17β-dihydroxy-(20-hydroxymethyl)-7α,17α-dimethylestr-4-en-3-one (5), 1α,17β-dihydroxy-7α,17α-dimethylestr-4-en-3-one (6), 1α,11β,17β-trihydroxy-7α,17α-dimethylestr-4-en-3-one (7), and 11β,17β-dihydroxy-7α,17α-dimethylestr-4-en-3-one (8), on the basis of spectroscopic studies. All metabolites, except 8, were identified as new compounds. This study indicates that C. blakesleeana, and C. echinulata are able to catalyze hydroxylation at allylic positions, while M. phaseolina can catalyze hydroxylation of CH2 and CH3 groups of substrate 1. Mibolerone (1) was found to be a moderate inhibitor of β-glucuronidase enzyme (IC50 = 42.98 ± 1.24 μM) during random biological screening, while its metabolites 2-4, and 8 were found to be inactive. Mibolerone (1) was also found to be significantly active against Leishmania major promastigotes (IC50 = 29.64 ± 0.88 μM). Its transformed products 3 (IC50 = 79.09 ± 0.06 μM), and 8 (IC50 = 70.09 ± 0.05 μM) showed a weak leishmanicidal activity, while 2 and 4 were found to be inactive. In addition, substrate 1 (IC50 = 35.7 ± 4.46 μM), and its metabolite 8 (IC50 = 34.16 ± 5.3 μM) exhibited potent cytotoxicity against HeLa cancer cell line (human cervical carcinoma). Metabolite 2 (IC50 = 46.5 ± 5.4 μM) also showed a significant cytotoxicity, while 3 (IC50 = 107.8 ± 4.0 μM) and 4 (IC50 = 152.5 ± 2.15 μM) showed weak cytotoxicity against HeLa cancer cell line. Compound 1 (IC50 = 46.3 ± 11.7 μM), and its transformed products 2 (IC50 = 43.3 ± 7.7 μM), 3 (IC50 = 65.6 ± 2.5 μM), and 4 (IC50 = 89.4 ± 2.7 μM) were also found to be moderately toxic to 3T3 cell line (mouse fibroblast). Interestingly, metabolite 8 showed no cytotoxicity against 3T3 cell line. Compounds 1-4, and 8 were also evaluated for inhibition of tyrosinase, carbonic anhydrase, and α-glucosidase enzymes, and all were found to be inactive.
