Project description:Five new pyran rings containing polyketides, penicipyrans A-E (1-5), together with the known pestapyrone A (6), were isolated from the saline soil-derived Penicillium raistrickii. Their structures were determined by interpretation of NMR and HRESIMS data. The absolute configurations of compounds 4 and 5 were established by the modified Mosher's method and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, respectively. These compounds possessed high structural diversity including two ?-pyrones (1, 2), three isocoumarins (3, 4, 6), and one dihydropyran derivative (5). Among them, Compound 5 exhibited cytotoxicity against HL-60 and K562 cell lines with IC50 values of 4.4 and 8.5 ?M, respectively.
Project description:Penicillium digitatum is the pathogen of Green mold in Postharvest citrus. After inoculating Penicillium digitatum into the wound of citrus to infect it, transcriptome sequencing was carried out and compared with the results of transcriptome sequencing of Penicillium digitatum before inoculation in order to screen the differentially expressed genes and reveal its infection mechanism.
