Abstract
A chemical investigation of the soil-derived fungus Trichocladium sp. XZ8 led to the isolation of five new indole alkaloids, trichindoles A-E (1-5), with diverse architectures, along with seven known analogues (6-12). Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic data analysis, and their absolute configurations were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and modified Mosher's method. Compound 1 is a polyketide-alkaloid hybrid incorporating a rare succinimide motif, and compound 2 represents the first example of a dimeric isopentenyl indole-containing alkaloid bridged by a propane-1,2-diol moiety. Compounds 1, 4, 8, 11, and 12 showed significant neuroprotective effects against RSL3-induced ferroptosis in PC12 cells at 10 μM. Moreover, 1 and 4 might ameliorate RSL3-induced ferroptosis through the regulation of the SLC7A11 pathway and ferritinophagy, suggesting their potential as promising lead compounds for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Natural Products invites and publishes papers that make substantial and scholarly contributions to the area of natural products research. Contributions may relate to the chemistry and/or biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds or the biology of living systems from which they are obtained.
Specifically, there may be articles that describe secondary metabolites of microorganisms, including antibiotics and mycotoxins; physiologically active compounds from terrestrial and marine plants and animals; biochemical studies, including biosynthesis and microbiological transformations; fermentation and plant tissue culture; the isolation, structure elucidation, and chemical synthesis of novel compounds from nature; and the pharmacology of compounds of natural origin.
When new compounds are reported, manuscripts describing their biological activity are much preferred.
