This paper describes a coral culture experiment that was conducted at several seawater temperatures T (21-28℃) using a tandem aquarium system and the new method for depositing coral skeletons grown under controlled conditions. The δ180c values and the St/Ca and Mg/Ca ratios of the cultured coral were measured. We concluded that the δ18Oc values and Sr/Ca and Mg/Ca ratios of the cultured coral are clearly corre- lated with T. The linear regression curve is δ18Oc(‰)=-0.1427×T(℃)-0.1495 (n=18, r=0.955, p〈0.0001), and the slope of -0.1427‰/°d℃ is at the low end of the range of published values (-0.13-0.29‰/°d℃). The Sr/Ca ratio decreases with increas- ing T, whereas the Mg/Ca ratio increases with increasing T, indicating a negative correlation between Sr/Ca and Mg/Ca. Their linear regression curves are Sr/Ca(mmol/mol)=-O.O4156×T+lO.59 (n=15, r=-0.789, p〈0.005) and Mg/Ca (mmol/mol)= 0.04974×T+2.339 (n=17, r=-0.457, p〈0.05), respectively, which demonstrate that when Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca are increased by one unit, T increases by 5.19℃and decreases by 15.62℃, respectively. These variations are significantly lower than published values.展开更多
文摘为了研究柱状角孔珊瑚(Goniopora columna)水螅体的次级代谢产物,采用硅胶柱层析、凝胶柱层析及半制备高效液相色谱对柱状角孔珊瑚水螅体粗提物中次级代谢产物进行分离纯化,利用现代波谱技术鉴定其结构,并对获得的次级代谢产物进行非小细胞肺癌A549细胞(non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells, NSCLC)的抗癌活性筛选。结果表明,从柱状角孔珊瑚水螅体中分离鉴定出8种化合物,分别为alkalgoniopora A (1)、茶碱(2)、胸腺嘧啶脱氧核糖核苷(3)、尿嘧啶(4)、胸腺嘧啶(5)、pregna-5,20-dien-3β-ol(6)、cinnamicacid(7)和原儿茶酸(8),其中化合物1为新发现的生物碱。初步细胞毒活性测试显示,化合物1、2和6对NSCLC增殖有较弱的抑制活性,其余化合物对NSCLC增殖无明显抑制活性。
