Abstract
Supplementation of p-aminobenzoic acid and its derivatives into the culture medium of Myrothecium verrucaria HPU-ZMN, a fungus isolated from the Yellow River wetland, resulted in the production of 21 novel phenylpyrrole derivatives designated as myropherroles A-U (1-21). Structural elucidation of these compounds was achieved through a comprehensive analysis of NMR and HRESIMS data. Notably, the myropherroles exhibit more diverse structures of the pyrrole compared to naturally occurring phenylpyrrole derivatives. Compound 2 displayed an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory effect with an IC50 value of 0.9 μM.
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.
