Characterization and identification of mycosporines-like compounds in cyanolichens. Isolation of mycosporine hydroxyglutamicol from Nephroma laevigatum Ach.

Résumé

Mycosporine-like compounds, comprising mycosporines and mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) are UV protecting secondary metabolites described in organisms such as fungi, algae, cyanobacteria or animals. Lichens however, were only poorly investigated for such constituents so far. Here, a method for the characterization of mycosporines and MAAs in purified aqueous extracts, involving HPTLC coupled to spectrophotodensitometry, HPLC-DAD-MS(n) and UPLC-HRMS analysis, is described. This optimized protocol was validated on three algae and one cyanolichen containing known MAAs and mycosporines, and then applied to 18 cyanolichen species. Analyses revealed the presence of five already described mycosporine-like compounds in the investigated species, including mycosporine serinol in Lichina and Peltigera species and mycosporine glutamicol in Degelia plumbea. Apart from that, eight unknown mycosporine-like compounds were detected and tentatively characterized on the basis of their DAD spectra and their MS(n) and HRMS data: two in the alga Porphyra dioica and six in cyanolichen species belonging to the genera Degelia, Nephroma and Stereocaulon. From Nephroma laevigatum, the mycosporine hydroxyglutamicol was preparatively isolated and identified through HRMS, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data. The optimized analytical protocol allowed the characterization of mycosporine-like compounds in small amounts of material and confirmed the potential of cyanolichens as a source of mycosporine compounds. It should also be applicable to investigate lichen species with green algae photobionts for mycosporine-like compounds.
