Aquaculture of Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae and induction of pseudopterosins
Title
Aquaculture of Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae and induction of pseudopterosins.
Creator
Thornton, Renee S., Florida Atlantic University, Kerr, Russell G.
Abstract/Description
The pseudopterosins are a class of diterpene glycosides isolated from the Caribbean sea whip, Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae. Pseudopterosins A-D possess potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties (ED50 ca. 3.0 mg/kg). There is a large demand in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries for pseudopterosin derivatives and presently, the only source of these chemicals is from wild-collected gorgonians. Preliminary experiments were performed to develop a reliable, cost-effective...
Show moreThe pseudopterosins are a class of diterpene glycosides isolated from the Caribbean sea whip, Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae. Pseudopterosins A-D possess potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties (ED50 ca. 3.0 mg/kg). There is a large demand in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries for pseudopterosin derivatives and presently, the only source of these chemicals is from wild-collected gorgonians. Preliminary experiments were performed to develop a reliable, cost-effective production method of the pseudopterosins in order to avoid large-scale harvesting. We exposed the gorgonians to various forms of "stress" in an attempt to increase the amount of pseudopterosins produced. We have also evaluated the feasibility of raising Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae in an aquaculture setting by studying their growth rates in different environments. Our studies indicate that aquaculture used with some simple induction methods can allow for the commercialization of this important biochemical resource.

Show moreThe pseudopterosins and seco-pseudopterosins are diterpene glycosides isolated from the marine octocoral Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae . These compounds exhibit potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties superior to the industrial standard indomethacin. The overall goal of this work was to complete biosynthetic studies for the development of a biotechnological production method of the pseudopterosins and seco-pseudopterosins. The aim of this project was to identify all intermediates involved in pseudopterosin biosynthesis. Previously, the Kerr lab has shown that elisabetatriene and erogorgiaene are the first two committed steps in pseudopterosin biosynthesis. In a continuation of those metabolic studies, the isolation and utilization of 7-hydroxyerogorgiaene, 7,8-dihydroxyerogorgiaene, seco-pseudopterosin J, amphilectosins A and B in pseudopterosin biosynthesis is reported. The utilization of these compounds in pseudopterosin biosynthesis was assessed by incubating these compounds in radiolabeled form with viable cell-free extracts of P. elisabethae and monitoring for the incorporation of a radiolabel in the pseudopterosins. We also report the isolation of the pseudopterosin aglycone from extracts of P. elisabethae and identified the aglycone as the end product of this metabolic pathway.

The field of marine natural products chemistry has enjoyed an explosion of growth over the past 40 years and currently there are marine-derived metabolites in clinical trials for cancer, analgesia, allergy and cognitive diseases.

Show moreThe marine environment has proven to be an extremely rich source of novel natural products with activities in a variety of biological assays. The field of marine natural products chemistry has enjoyed an explosion of growth over the past 40 years and currently there are marine-derived metabolites in clinical trials for cancer, analgesia, allergy and cognitive diseases. Even with this tremendous development, it is clear that chemists and pharmacologists are only beginning to scratch the surface of the biomedical potential of marine organisms. One problem with this source of new pharmaceuticals is that the supply of such compounds can be problematic. The thesis describes projects directed at fundamental biosynthetic questions regarding terpenes from marine corals. In a general sense, these projects are directed as addressing the supply issue identified above. One project examined the origin of terpene building blocks in the coral Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae. A second project focused on the characterization of terpenes from Leptogorgia minimata. Here, a new cembranoid diterpene was isolated. Experiments were also conducted to identify a microbial source of terpene biosynthesis in this system. Data strongly supported a bacterial origin of these compounds.
