产品描述

Helvolic acid is a mycotoxin originally isolated from A. fumigatus that has broad-spectrum antibiotic activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. At 4-16 mg/L, it acted synergistically with erythromycin (500-2,000 mg/L) in vitro on five multi-drug resistant strains of S. aureus. At 10 mg/kg/d, it reduced tumor growth and prolonged survival synergistically with cyclophosphamide (20 mg/kg/d) in a mouse model of sarcoma but had no effect when administered alone.

New Helvolic Acid Derivatives with Antibacterial Activities from Sarocladium oryzae DX-THL3, an Endophytic Fungus from Dongxiang Wild Rice ( Oryza rufipogon Griff.)

Molecules 2021 Mar 24;26(7):1828.PMID:33805102DOI:10.3390/molecules26071828.

Three new Helvolic Acid derivatives (named sarocladilactone A (1), sarocladilactone B (2) and sarocladic acid A (3a)), together with five known compounds (6,16-diacetoxy-25-hy- droxy-3,7-dioxy-29-nordammara-1,17(20)-dien-21-oic acid (3b), Helvolic Acid (4), helvolinic acid (5), 6-desacetoxy-helvolic acid (6) and 1,2-dihydrohelvolic acid (7)), were isolated from the endophytic fungus DX-THL3, obtained from the leaf of Dongxiang wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.). The structures of the new compounds were elucidated via HR-MS, extensive 1D and 2D NMR analysis and comparison with reported data. Compounds 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 exhibited potent antibacterial activities. In particular, sarocladilactone B (2), helvolinic acid (5) and 6-desacetoxy-helvolic acid (6) exhibited strongly Staphylococcus aureus inhibitory activity with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 4, 1 and 4 μg/mL, respectively. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) of these compounds was primarily summarized.

Helvolic Acid Derivatives with Antibacterial Activities against Streptococcus agalactiae from the Marine-Derived Fungus Aspergillus fumigatus HNMF0047

J Nat Prod 2018 Aug 24;81(8):1869-1876.PMID:30070829DOI:10.1021/acs.jnatprod.8b00382.

Streptococcus agalactiae is a hazardous pathogen that can cause great harm to humans and fish. In the present study, the known fungal metabolite Helvolic Acid (10), seven new Helvolic Acid derivatives named 16- O-deacetylhelvolic acid 21,16-lactone (2), 6- O-propionyl-6,16- O-dideacetylhelvolic acid 21,16-lactone (3), 1,2-dihydro-6,16- O-dideacetylhelvolic acid 21,16-lactone (4), 1,2-dihydro-16- O-deacetylhelvolic acid 21,16-lactone (5), 16- O-propionyl-16- O-deacetylhelvolic acid (6), 6- O-propionyl-6- O-deacetylhelvolic acid (7), and 24- epi-6β,16β-diacetoxy-25-hydroxy-3,7-dioxo-29-nordammara-1,17(20)-diene-21,24-lactone (9), and two known ones (1 and 8) were isolated from the marine-derived fungus Aspergillus fumigatus HNMF0047 obtained from an unidentified sponge from Wenchang Beach, Hainan Province, China. The structures and the absolute configurations of the new compounds were unambiguously elucidated by spectroscopic data and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectroscopic analyses along with quantum ECD calculations. In addition, the spectroscopic data of compound 1 are reported here for the first time, the configuration of C-24 of known compound 8 was revised based on comparison of its ROESY data with its C-24 epimer 9, and the absolute configuration of 8 was also determined for the first time. Compounds 6, 7, and 10 showed stronger antibacterial activity than a tobramycin control against S. agalactiae with MIC values of 16, 2, and 8 μg/mL, respectively.

Helvolic Acid attenuates osteoclast formation and function via suppressing RANKL-induced NFATc1 activation

J Cell Physiol 2019 May;234(5):6477-6488.PMID:30341897DOI:10.1002/jcp.27385.

Excessive osteoclast formation and function are considered as the main causes of bone lytic disorders such as osteoporosis and osteolysis. Therefore, the osteoclast is a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of osteoporosis or other osteoclast-related diseases. Helvolic Acid (HA), a mycotoxin originally isolated from Aspergillus fumigatus , has been discovered as an effective broad-spectrum antibacterial agent and has a wide range of pharmacological properties. Herein, for the first time, HA was demonstrated to be capable of significantly inhibiting receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption in vitro by suppressing nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATc1) activation. This inhibition was followed by the dramatically decreased expression of NFATc1-targeted genes including Ctr (encoding calcitonin receptor), Acp5 (encoding tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase [TRAcP]), Ctsk (encoding cathepsin K), Atp6v0d2 (encoding the vacuolar H+ ATPase V0 subunit d2 [V-ATPase-d2]) and Mmp9 (encoding matrix metallopeptidase 9) which are osteoclastic-specific genes required for osteoclast formation and function. Mechanistically, HA was shown to greatly attenuate multiple upstream pathways including extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation, c-Fos signaling, and intracellular Ca 2+ oscillation, but had little effect on nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation. In addition, HA also diminished the RANKL-induced generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species. Taken together, our study indicated HA effectively suppressed RANKL-induced osteoclast formation and function. Thus, we propose that HA can be potentially used in the development of a novel drug for osteoclast-related bone diseases.

Production of Helvolic Acid in Metarhizium Contributes to Fungal Infection of Insects by Bacteriostatic Inhibition of the Host Cuticular Microbiomes

Microbiol Spectr 2022 Oct 26;10(5):e0262022.PMID:36047778DOI:10.1128/spectrum.02620-22.

The nortriterpenoid Helvolic Acid (HA) has potent antibiotic activities and can be produced by different fungi, yet HA function remains elusive. Here, we report the chemical biology of HA production in the insect pathogen Metarhizium robertsii. After deletion of the core oxidosqualene cyclase gene in Metarhizium, insect survival rates were significantly increased compared to those of insects treated with the wild type and the gene-rescued strain during topical infections but not during injection assays to bypass insect cuticles. Further gnotobiotic infection of axenic Drosophila adults confirmed the HA contribution to fungal infection by inhibiting bacterial competitors in an inoculum-dependent manner. Loss of HA production substantially impaired fungal spore germination and membrane penetration abilities relative to the WT and gene-complemented strains during challenge with different Gram-positive bacteria. Quantitative microbiome analysis revealed that HA production could assist the fungus to suppress the Drosophila cuticular microbiomes by exerting a bacteriostatic rather than bactericidal effect. Our data unveil the chemical ecology of HA and highlight the fact that fungal pathogens have to cope with the host cuticular microbiomes prior to successful infection of hosts. IMPORTANCE Emerging evidence has shown that the plant and animal surface microbiomes can defend hosts against fungal parasite infections. The strategies employed by fungal pathogens to combat the antagonistic inhibition of insect surface bacteria are still elusive. In this study, we found that the potent antibiotic Helvolic Acid (HA) produced by the insect pathogen Metarhizium robertsii contributes to natural fungal infection of insect hosts. Antibiotic and gnotobiotic infection assays confirmed that HA could facilitate fungal infection of insects by suppression of the host cuticular microbiomes through its bacteriostatic instead of bactericidal activities. The data from this study provide insights into the novel chemical biology of fungal secondary metabolisms.

Nat Prod Res 2016 Nov;30(21):2407-12.PMID:27265219DOI:10.1080/14786419.2016.1190722.

A new Helvolic Acid derivative named Helvolic Acid methyl ester (1), together with two known Helvolic Acid compounds, Helvolic Acid (2) and hydrohelvolic acid (3), were isolated from the fermentation of endophytic fungus Fusarium sp. in Ficus carica leaves. Their structures were elucidated and identified by spectroscopic methods. Compounds 1-3 showed potent antifungal and antibacterial activities.
