Study on secondary metabolites of endophytic fungus Diaporthe sp. AC1 induced by tryptophan analogs.

ABSTRACT: Small molecule-induced fermentation of the endophytic fungus Diaporthe sp. AC1 originated from Artemisia argyi was executed to investigate its secondary metabolites. It was fermented in a culture medium containing 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), 1-methyl-L-tryptophan (1-MT), and tryptamine (TA), respectively. The antibacterial activities of crude extracts against pathogenic bacteria and pathogenic fungi were determined by using the Oxford cup method, while the cytotoxicity of crude extracts against cancer cells was determined by using the MTT method. The results showed that the secondary metabolites of Diaporthe sp. AC1 induced by 1-MT exhibited optimal antibacterial activity and tumor cytotoxicity. The induction conditions of 1-MT were optimized, and the antibacterial ac
