Isolation, identification and toxicological characterization of TSS 1, a new mycotoxin of the rosenane class.
11-β-hydroxy-7-deoxy-rosenonolactone (TSS1), a product of the pathogenic fungusTrichothecium roseum (Moniliaceae) was isolated from culture medium extracts and completely described in its structure by spectroscopical methods.TSS 1 was classified as a representative of the lactone series of the rosenane class and as a structural isomer to Rosenololactone (1) and Rosololactone (2, 3).TSS1 showed toxic effects in the growth inhibition test toE coli (EC 50: lOμg/mL) andB subtil is (EC 50: 17μg/mL), inhibited fermentation of yeast (EC 50: 2.8μg/mL) and suppressed motility ofAnemia satina larvae (EC 50: 45/μg/mL).Rosenonolactone, the best known representative of that mycotoxin class, showed only …
Isolation, structural and toxicological characterization of three new mycotoxins produced by the fungusAureobasidium pullulans.
3 substances, B1, B2, and E1 were isolated from culture medium extracts ofAureobasidium pullulans by reversed phase liquid chromatography and subsequent liquid chromatographic purification steps on silica gel.The 3 compounds inhibited the metabolism ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae and showed toxic effects in the growth inhibition test toEscherichia coli andBacillus subtilis.Elementary analysis and mass spectroscopical methods revealed sum formulas of C23H22O6, C22H20O6 and C24H28O3 for B1 B2, and E1 and molecular weights of 394, 380, and 364, respectively. Mass spectroscopical, UV-, IR-,(13)C-NMR, and(1)H-NMR-spectroscopical investigations revealed polycyclic, non-aromatic compounds containing s…
DNA strand break induction, mutagenicity, and cytotoxicity of the mycotoxins 11-β-hydroxy-7-deoxy-rosenonolactone, rosenonolactone, and trichothecin.
11-β-hydroxy-7-deoxy-rosenonolactone (TSS1), a mycotoxin of the rosenane class, was tested on cytotoxicity, induction of DNA single strand breaks and muta-genicity. Its effects were compared to those of rosenonolactone and trichothecin. TSS1 had stronger antibiotic activity againstEscherichia coli (EC 50: 10μg/mL) than rosenonolactone (EC 50: >200μg/mL) but weaker activity than trichothecin (EC 50: 3μg/mL). The same order of activity was found for the inhibition of yeast fermentation (EC 50 of TSS1: 45μg/mL; EC 50 of rosenonolactone: > 120μg/mL; EC 50 of trichothecin: 3.4μg/mL). In the trypan blue exclusion test using V79 Chinese hamster cells, TSS1 proved to be cytotoxic (EC50: 30μg/mL) at…
