Preparation, Purification, and NMR Spectra of Some Mono- and Dihemisuccinates of the Trichothecene Mycotoxin Nivalenol
摘要:
4,15-Diacetylnivalenol (DANIV) was produced in liquid culture and purified by fractionation over silica followed by preparative liquid chromatography. Hydrolysis gave nivalenol (NIV), a trichothecene mycotoxin found as a common contaminant in grain grown in the North Island of New Zealand. Reaction of NIV with succinic anhydride in the presence of n-butylboronic acid and (dimethylamino)pyridine produced a mixture of three mono-and two dihemisuccinates. These were separated by semipreparative HPLC. The major product was 3-hemisuccinyl-NIV (3-HS-NIV). Other products were 4-HS-NIV, 15-HS-NIV, 3,4-diHS-NIV, and 3,15-diHS-NIV. 3-HS-NIV was also produced by enzymatic hydrolysis of 3-HS-DANIV.
