Abstract
Abstract
Rice false smut is an emerging plant disease worldwide. Ustiloxin A (UstA) is the major mycotoxin found in rice false smut balls, which are fungal colonies in rice florets. In this study, a new method consisting of macroporous resin column chromatography and high-speed countercurrent chromatography (HSCCC) was developed for UstA separation. UstA was extracted by a 3.81% HCOOH solution and adsorbed by XAD-4 resin. UstA was then eluted by a 40% methanol solution supplemented with 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). Further purification was achieved by HSCCC using a two-phase solvent system consisting of n-butanol/TFA/H2O (1/0.05/1, v/v/v). Under the optimized conditions, 225 mg of UstA was obtained with a purity of 97.39% in a single run, with a final recovery of 65.2%. An inhibitory effect on seed germination of wheat and maize caused by UstA was observed in a preliminary phytotoxicity assay.
