Polyketide Derivatives from Mangrove Derived Endophytic Fungus Pseudopestalotiopsis theae
Chemical investigation of secondary metabolites from the endophytic fungus Pseudopestalotiopsis theae led to the isolation of eighteen new polyketide derivatives, pestalotheols I&ndash
Indole alkaloids from the coprophilous fungus Aphanoascus fulvescens
Abstract The Ascomycete fungus Aphanoascus fulvescens isolated from goose dung was investigated for its secondary metabolites, yielding five new indole alkaloids okaramines V–Z (1–5) and eleven known derivatives (6–16). Their structures were determined by 1D, 2D NMR spectra and HRMS data. Compounds 6, 8, 11 and 12 showed significant to moderate cytotoxicity against the mouse lymphoma cell line L5178Y with IC50 values ranging from 4.0 to 14.7 μM. Preliminary structure-activity relationships are discussed.
Induction of ambuic acid derivatives by the endophytic fungus Pestalotiopsis lespedezae through an OSMAC approach
Abstract Ten new ambuic acid derivatives, pestallic acids H–Q including one new iodinated natural product along with two known compounds, ambuic acid and ambuic acid 18-acetate, were obtained through fermentation of the endophytic fungus Pestalotiopsis lespedezae on solid rice medium with 3.5% NaI. Pestallic acids H–Q were undetectable in cultures of the fungus grown on solid rice medium lacking NaI or in those where NaI had been replaced by NaCl or NaBr. The structures of the new metabolites were established on basis of 1D/2D NMR and HRESIMS data. Their absolute configurations were determined by Mosher’s method and TDDFT-ECD calculations. The compounds failed to show antibacterial activity…
