Bridged Epipolythiodiketopiperazines from Penicillium raciborskii, an Endophytic Fungus of Rhododendron tomentosum Harmaja
2016
Three new epithiodiketopiperazine natural products [outovirin A (1), outovirin B (2), and outovirin C (3)] resembling the antifungal natural product gliovirin have been identified in extracts of Penicillium raciborskii, an endophytic fungus isolated from Rhododendron tomentosum. The compounds are unusual for their class in that they possess sulfide bridges between α- and β-carbons rather than the typical α-α bridging. To our knowledge, outovirin A represents the first reported naturally produced epimonothiodiketopiperazine, and antifungal outovirin C is the first reported trisulfide gliovirin-like compound. This report describes the identification and structural elucidation of the compounds…
Sesquiterpenoids from the Endophytic Fungus Rhinocladiella similis
2019
Ten new sesquiterpenoid derivatives, rhinomilisins A-J (1-10), along with six known analogues (11-16), were isolated from the mangrove-derived endophytic fungus Rhinocladiella similis. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by their NMR and MS data, while the absolute configuration of 3 and 6 was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis and Mosher's method, respectively. All isolated compounds (1-16) were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against the mouse lymphoma cell line L5178Y, and compounds 1, 7, and 15 showed moderate activity with IC50 values of 5.0, 8.7, and 24.4 μM, respectively.
Farinomalein derivatives from an unidentified endophytic fungus isolated from the mangrove plant Avicennia marina
2012
Five farinomalein derivatives including three new compounds, farinomaleins C–E (3–5), and one new isoindoline congener (6) were isolated from an unidentified endophytic fungus obtained from the inner tissues of healthy leaves of the mangrove plant Avicennia marina from Oman. The structures of the new compounds were unambiguously elucidated on the basis of their mass, as well as one and two dimensional NMR spectroscopic data.
Polyketide Derivatives from Mangrove Derived Endophytic Fungus Pseudopestalotiopsis theae
2020
Chemical investigation of secondary metabolites from the endophytic fungus Pseudopestalotiopsis theae led to the isolation of eighteen new polyketide derivatives, pestalotheols I&ndash
Metabolites from Combretum dolichopetalum and its associated endophytic fungus Nigrospora oryzae--Evidence for a metabolic partnership.
2015
Abstract A new altersolanol derivative, 4-dehydroxyaltersolanol A ( 9 ), along with two known sesquiterpenoids, ( S )-7′-hydroxyabscisic acid ( 7 ) and ( S )-abscisic acid ( 8 ) were obtained from the endophytic fungus, Nigrospora oryzae , isolated from leaves of Combretum dolichopetalum . The host plant yielded six known compounds including ellagic acid ( 1 ), 3, 3′, 4-tri-O-methylellagic acid ( 2 ), arjunolic acid ( 3 ), 4′-dihydrophaseic acid ( 4 ), echinulin ( 5 ) and arestrictin B ( 6 ). Close structural similarities with regard to compounds 4 , 7 and 8 were observed between the metabolites from the host plant and those of the endophytic fungus. Furthermore compounds 5 and 6 are relate…
Cytotoxic 14-Membered Macrolides from a Mangrove-Derived Endophytic Fungus, Pestalotiopsis microspora.
2016
Seven new 14-membered macrolides, pestalotioprolides C (2), D-H (4-8), and 7-O-methylnigrosporolide (3), together with four known analogues, pestalotioprolide B (1), seiricuprolide (9), nigrosporolide (10), and 4,7-dihydroxy-13-tetradeca-2,5,8-trienolide (11), were isolated from the mangrove-derived endophytic fungus Pestalotiopsis microspora. Their structures were elucidated by analysis of NMR and MS data and by comparison with literature data. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis was used to confirm the absolute configurations of 1, 2, and 10, while Mosher's method and the TDDFT-ECD approach were applied to determine the absolute configurations of 5 and 6. Compounds 3-6 showed signif…
Two new metabolites from the endophytic fungus Xylaria sp. isolated from the medicinal plant Curcuma xanthorrhiza
2015
Abstract The endophytic fungus Xylaria sp. was isolated from healthy leaves of Curcuma xanthorrhiza, collected on the island of Timor, Indonesia. Two new compounds (1 and 2), together with the known resacetophenone (3), were isolated and their structures were elucidated on the basis of comprehensive NMR and mass spectral analyses. The enantiomers of rac-1 were separated by chiral HPLC and their HPLC-ECD spectra were recorded to determine the absolute configuration on the basis of TDDFT-ECD calculations. The (3R,3aR, 9aR) absolute configuration of the optically active 2 was established by comparing the experimental solution ECD spectrum with the TDDFT ones computed for the gas phase and solu…
Molecular and taxonomic characterization of a endophytic fungus isolated from Helleborus bocconei subsp. intermedius (Ranunculaceae)
2014
A non-sporulating fungus was isolated from different organs of Helleborus bocconei subsp. intermedius (Ranunculaceae) endemic to southern Italy and Sicily, known for the traditional use of dried roots in the treatment of lung diseases of cattle and horses. Molecular characterization of endophytic fungus based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the rRNA gene sequences was done. The DNA sequence of full length ITS region of the studied fungus was a 100% match to that of Chaetomium strumarium strain dH 21642 (GenBank accession number JX280851.1). The morphological characters of colony and mycelium of this microfungus are reported here.
Polyketides and nitrogenous metabolites from the endophytic fungus Phomopsis sp. D15a2a
2019
Abstract Three new polyketides, phomopones A−C (1–3), one new cyclic tetrapeptide, 18-hydroxydihydrotentoxin (4), and a new amide, 6-hydroxyenamidin (5) together with a known derivative, enamindin (6) were obtained from the endophytic fungus Phomopsis sp. D15a2a isolated from the plant Alternanthera bettzickiana. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by 1D, 2D NMR and HRMS data. The absolute configurations of the isolated metabolites were determined either by X-ray crystallography, Marfey’s method or by converting the compounds to Mosher esters.
