Abstract
The inhibitory compound (Compound S) against Ralstonia solanacearum and its conversion product (Compound S') were isolated from the culture filtrate of Bacillus subtilis JW-1 using a series of chromatography procedures. The structures were elucidated as alanyl-L-${\beta}$-(2,3-epoxycyclohexyl-4-one)alanine and alanyl-L-${\beta}$-(2,3-dihydroxycyclohexyl-4-one)alanine, respectively on the basis of nuclear magnetic resonance spectral data, including $^1H$, $^{13}C$, $^1H-^1H$ correlation spectroscopy and heteronuclear multiple bond correlation spectroscopy. The compound S exhibited a broad antimicrobial activity against $G^+$, $G^-$ bacteria, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans. The activity loss of the conversion product revealed that the epoxy function was essential for activity of Compound S.
풋마름병 균에 대해 강한 저해활성을 갖는 활성물질 Compound S와 conversion product인 compound S'이 Bacillus subtilis JW-1 배양액에서 일련의 크로마토그래피 방법으로 분리 정제되었고, $^1H$ NMR, $^{13}C$ NMR, $^1H-^1H$ COSY와 HMBC 등의 spectra 분석에 의해 구조가 alanyl-L-${\beta}$-(2,3-epoxycyclohexyl-4-one)alanine와 alanyl-L-${\beta}$-(2,3-dihydroxycyclohexyl-4-one) alanine로 각각 동정되었다. Compound S는 $G^+$, $G^-$ bacteria, yeast와 Candida albicans 등에 대해 광범위한 antimicrobial activity를 나타내며, conversion product의 활성 상실을 통해 intact oxirane ring이 Compound S의 활성에 필수적임이 밝혀졌다.
