Abstract
This study investigates the potential for the microbial transformation of camelliagenin B, a saponin derived from Camellia oleifera seed cake meal, to develop novel metabolites. We employed three microbial strains, specifically Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Bacillus megaterium CGMCC 1.1741, and Streptomyces griseus ATCC [...] Read more.
This study investigates the potential for the microbial transformation of camelliagenin B, a saponin derived from Camellia oleifera seed cake meal, to develop novel metabolites. We employed three microbial strains, specifically Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Bacillus megaterium CGMCC 1.1741, and Streptomyces griseus ATCC 13273, to biotransform camelliagenin B into its derivatives. The compounds were purified and separated using chromatographic techniques, such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Structural identification was carried out using spectroscopic methods, including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS). Ten bioactive compounds were obtained (1a-1j), of which nine were novel with multiple tailoring reactions, such as allyl oxidation, C-C double-bond rearrangement, hydroxylation, dehydrogenation, and glycosylation, observed in camelliagenin B analogs. The structures of these compounds were determined by 1D/2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS analysis. Therefore, this study showcases the capacity of microbial transformation as a sustainable and environmentally friendly method for generating bioactive compounds from C. oleifera seed cake meals. The individual chemicals can potentially facilitate the design of novel medicinal agents, functional foods, and natural preservatives. Full article

A method using LC-ESI-IT-TOF/MS and LC/UV-ELSD was established to qualitatively analyze triterpene saponins obtained from the tea seed pomace (Camellia oleifera Abel).

A method using LC-ESI-IT-TOF/MS and LC/UV-ELSD was established to qualitatively analyze triterpene saponins obtained from the tea seed pomace (Camellia oleifera Abel). In addition, the quantitative analysis of oleiferasaponin A1 using LC/UV was developed. The purified total saponins did not exhibit any inhibitory effects at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 10 mg/mL against the tested bacteria, except for Staphyloccocus aureus and Escherichia coli. By contrast, higher inhibitory activity was seen against the tested fungi, especially against Bipolaris maydis. Following treatment with an MIC value of 250 μg/mL for 24 h, the mycelial morphology was markedly shriveled in appearance or showed flattened and empty hyphae, with fractured cell walls, ruptured plasmalemma and cytoplasmic coagulation or leakage. These structural changes hindered the growth of mycelia. Full article

Abstract
A new triterpenoid saponin, oleiferasaponin A1, was isolated from tea seed pomace (Camellia oleifera Abel). The structure of oleiferasaponin A1 was elucidated on the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidence and was found to be 22-O-cis [...] Read more.
A new triterpenoid saponin, oleiferasaponin A1, was isolated from tea seed pomace (Camellia oleifera Abel). The structure of oleiferasaponin A1 was elucidated on the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidence and was found to be 22-O-cis-2-hexenoyl-A1-barrigenol 3-O-[β-D-galactopyranosyl(1→2)] [β-D-glucopyranosyl(1→2)-α-L-arabinopyranosyl(1→3)]-β-D-glucopyranosiduronic acid. PC12 cells injured with H2O2 were used as the model to test the protective effects of oleiferasaponin A1. The results indicated that oleiferasaponin A1 can potentially prevent the H2O2-induced cell death of PC12 cells. Full article
