Abstract
Asteltoxins I-T (1-12), 12 asteltoxin-type polyketides, together with four known analogues (13-16), were isolated from an endophytic fungus Pochonia bulbillosa KNI755. Their structures, including absolute configurations, were determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Compound 1 featured a tetrahydro-2H-pyran-linked asteltoxin heterodimer incorporating a clavatol unit. Compounds 2 and 3 demonstrated unique tetrahydro-1,4-oxazine-linked asteltoxin heterodimers comprising a diphenyl ether unit. Compounds 4-7 presented unusual 1,4-dioxane-linked asteltoxin heterodimers also containing a diphenyl ether unit. Compounds 1-7 were immunosuppressive against concanavalin A (ConA)-induced T cell proliferation and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced B cell proliferation with EC50 values ranging from 9.2 to 26 μM and from 6.3 to 27 μM, respectively. Compound 1 exhibited inhibitory activity against the HCT116 human cancer cell line with an IC50 value of 10 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.
