RESUMEN
Objective To study on bioactive chemical compounds against ultraviolet irradiation in antarctic ice microalgae.Methods Four kinds of Antarctic ice microalgae were cultured under the conditions of low temperature,illumination,UV-A and UV-B irradiation.The chemical compounds were extracted by methanol and analyzed by spectrophotometer and HPLC/MS.The molecular structures were elucidated according to these data.The chemical compounds were irradated by sunshine to observe the speed of degradation and to estimate the bioactivity.Results There were five active compounds in Chlorophyceae L-4 and 7 active compounds in Diatom HF-9,in which 6 compounds belong to MAAs(mycosporine-like amino acids) and were of more bioactivity against ultraviolet irradiation.Conclusion MAAs from of Antarctic ice microalgae play an important role in resisting ultraviolet irradiation.
RESUMEN
Objective To study on quenching free radical substances in antarctic ice alga.Methods Antarctic ice alga Berkeleya rutilans H-15 used as material,complete experiment of preparation free radical scavenging substances was established.All of these include the extraction of active substances by methanol,then pursuing and determination of the separation effect and change of active substances by DPPH and Godin method;the primary separation and purification by silica gel 60 column chromatogram;the farther purification by Sephadex LH column chromatogram and the purity determination of compound by HPLC.The type of compound and functional group of high pure compound were determined by the IR spectrum,HPLC-MS.Results One pure compound with strong activity was obtained from Berkeleya rutilans H-15,and it was confirmed to belong to phenol derives by analysis of IR spectrum and HPLC-MS.Conclusion It was completely feasible to find and acquire quenching free radical substances in antarctic ice alga,which initiated a new way to obtain natural antioxidant active substances from antarctic microorganism.
