Abstract
One new gliotoxin derivative fumianthrogliotoxin (1), one new indoquizoline alkaloid N3-(methyl propionate) indoquizoline (2), and three novel indole alkaloids, anthroxyindole (3), (±)-asperfumiindole A (4), and (±)-asperfumiindole B (5), together with 16 known compounds (6-21), were isolated from the culture of deep-sea derived fungus Aspergillus fumigatus AF1. Their chemical structures and absolute configurations were determined through the analysis of NMR data in combination with electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations and other spectroscopic analyses. Compounds 2-11 and 13-21 were evaluated for anti-pulmonary fibrosis activity. Compounds 8 and 13 displayed significant downregulation of the mRNA expression levels of all three molecular markers (COL1A1, α-SMA and FN1), with compound 13 exhibiting the best performance among all the tested compounds.
期刊介绍:
Marine Drugs (ISSN 1660-3397) publishes reviews, regular research papers and short notes on the research, development and production of drugs from the sea. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible, particularly synthetic procedures and characterization information for bioactive compounds. There is no restriction on the length of the experimental section.
