چکیده
Penicitrinine A, a novel alkaloid with a unique spiro skeleton, was isolated from a marine-derived fungus Penicillium citrinum. In this study, the isolation, structure and biosynthetic pathway elucidation of the new compound were described. This new compound showed anti-proliferative activity on multiple tumor types. Among them, the human malignant melanoma cell A-375 was confirmed to be the most sensitive. Morphologic evaluation, apoptosis rate analysis, Western blot and real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) results showed penicitrinine A could significantly induce A-375 cell apoptosis by decreasing the expression of Bcl-2 and increasing the expression of Bax. Moreover, we investigated the anti-metastatic effects of penicitrinine A in A-375 cells by wound healing assay, trans-well assay, Western blot and RT-qPCR. The results showed penicitrinine A significantly suppressed metastatic activity of A-375 cells by regulating the expression of MMP-9 and its specific inhibitor TIMP-1. These findings suggested that penicitrinine A might serve as a potential antitumor agent, which could inhibit the proliferation and metastasis of tumor cells.

متن کاملQuinocitrinines A and B, new quinoline alkaloids from Penicillium citrinum Thom 1910, a permafrost fungus.
In the course of our previous work we isolated alkaloids such as agroclavine-I and epoxy-agroclavine-I from Penicillium citrinum VKM FW-800 as a microorganism isolated from permafrost1,2). This fungus was shown to coproduce two other alkaloid compounds, which were extractable only under acidic conditions. Positive staining by Dragendorff's reagent but negative Ehrlich reaction suggested the occ...
