基于质谱-分子网络策略的柳珊瑚来源真菌环肽活性先导物发现

Marine microorganisms with high biodiversity have proven to be a rich source for searching for secondary metabolites with novel structures and potential bioactivities. In recent years, marine microorganisms have been considered as a hot resource for the discovery of bioactive marine natural products and lead compounds. Unfortunately, a critical problem not overcomed by many methodologies has emerged accompanying with the research on the secondary metabolites from marine microorganisms. The known compounds have been isolated repeatedly, and the new molecules especially with trace amounts have been lost frequently. To face this challenge, we propose to find bioactive lead compounds of cyclodepsipeptides from gorgonian-derived fungi by MS/MS molecular networking strategy. Firstly, the mass data and mass clearage modes of the secondary metabolites should be collected by LC-MS/MS analysis of the cultivated products of the fungal strains. A viewable MS/MS molecular network should be established based on the mass characteristics and clearage patterns of the same type of compounds. Consequently, under the guidance of the established MS/MS molecular network, the new cyclodepsipeptides with angiogenesis activity should be isolated from the fermentation broth of gorgonian-derived fungi. By using the MS/MS molecular network, the trace new compounds would be predicted and discovered, and the bioactive lead compounds whould be obtained accurately with high efficiency. The results from this research would be valuable to the dereplication of the secondary metabolites and the discovery for lead compounds with novel structures from marine microorganisms.

海洋微生物具有丰富的物种多样性，能够产生结构新颖、活性显著的次级代谢产物，已成为活性海洋天然产物和药物先导化合物发现的热点资源。然而，随着对海洋微生物次级代谢产物研究的不断深入，重复分离获得已知化合物、丢失微量存在的新化合物等问题日益突出。本项目瞄准海洋天然产物领域面临的这一关键问题，以柳珊瑚来源真菌为研究对象，开展基于质谱-分子网络策略的环肽活性先导物发现研究。首先利用LC-MS/MS系统分析发酵产物中化合物质谱及其裂解模式，依据同类化合物的质谱特征及其裂解规律，构建可视化质谱-分子网络数据库（MS/MS Molecular Network）；进而在质谱-分子网络策略指导下，以具有促血管新生等活性的新颖环肽类化合物为目标，从发酵产物中预测、排重、追踪、发掘微量新颖化合物，精准、高效发现活性先导物。本项目研究结果对海洋微生物代谢产物的排重和新颖结构药物先导化合物的发现具有启示和借鉴价值。
