Abstract:
:Homocereulide, isolated from marine bacterium Bacillus cereus, is an analog of emetic toxin cereulide. There is no report on its structure determination and involvement in B. cereus-associated food poisoning. Homocereulide is a cyclic dodecadepsipeptide composed of l-O-Val-l-Val-d-O-Leu-d-Ala and l-O-allo-Ile-d-Val-d-O-Leu-d-Ala. Here, we synthesized homocereulide using liquid phase fragment condensation. The NMR spectrum of synthesized homocereulide confirmed the intended structure and LC-MS results were consistent with natural products. Morphological evaluation using HEp-2 cells showed higher toxicity with homocereulide (1.39 nM) than cereulide (3.95 nM). Though cereulide is the main component in broth culture, homocereulide is also likely involved in B. cereus-associated food poisoning.
