Hydroquinone derivatives from the marine-derived fungus Gliomastix sp.
Eight new hydroquinone derivatives, gliomastins A–D (1–4), 9-O-methylgliomastin C (5), acremonin A 1-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (6), gliomastin E 1-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (7), and 6′-O-acetyl-isohomoarbutin (8), together with seven known analogues were isolated from the marine-derived fungus Gliomastix sp. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis including 1D and 2D NMR measurements aided by DFT NMR calculations as well as MS data. TDDFT-ECD and OR calculations were performed to determine the absolute configurations of 1 and the aglycones of 6 and 7. Compound 1 features a novel skeleton, biogenetically derived from a Diels–Alder reaction between derivatives of 11 and 1…
Xanthones and sesquiterpene derivatives from a marine-derived fungus Scopulariopsis sp.
Abstract Two new xanthone derivatives, 12-dimethoxypinselin ( 1 ) and 12- O -acetyl-AGI-B4 ( 2 ), as well as two new phenolic bisabolane-type sesquiterpenes, 11,12-dihydroxysydonic acid ( 15 ) and 1-hydroxyboivinianic acid ( 16 ), together with one new alkaloid, scopulamide ( 21 ) and one new α-pyrone derivative, scopupyrone ( 26 ), in addition to twenty-three known compounds ( 3 – 14 , 17 – 20 , 22 – 25 , 27 – 29 ) were isolated from solid rice cultures of the marine-derived fungus Scopulariopsis sp. obtained from the Red Sea hard coral Stylophora sp. All compounds were unambiguously identified through extensive NMR spectroscopic analyses, and by comparison with the literature. Marfey's re…
