Abstract
Three novel azaphilone hybrids (1-3) with two types of structural units, along with four known compounds (4-7), were obtained from the marine sediment-derived fungus Aspergillus terreus PPS1. Asperbenzophilone A (1) features an unprecedented 6/6/6/6 ring system containing a hemiketal group. Butyropyranones I and II (2 and 3) are equipped with an azaphilone fragment preasperpyranone and a butyrolactone, which are connected through ether bonds. Comprehensive spectroscopic techniques, ECD calculations, and deduction of biosynthetic pathways were used to confirm the planar structures and absolute configurations of the new compounds. Compound 2 displayed significant anti-MRSA activity. Additionally, compound 2 exhibited moderate cytotoxic activity on human tumor cell lines 786-O, 5637, MCF-7, A-673, and 293T and medium inhibitory activity against the SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro/3CLpro).
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.
