Abstract
A new 18,22-cyclosterol, aspersteroline A (1), and a new DMOA-derived meroterpenoid, asperterpene O (2), along with three known compounds (3 − 5), namely mer-NF8054X (3), terretonin D (4), and asperterpene J (5), were isolated from the soil-derived Aspergillus versicolor QC812. The structures of new compounds were established based on widespread spectrographic methods, mainly including 1D & 2D NMR and HRESIMS analyses, and the absolute configurations were further confirmed by comparison of calculated and experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) curves. The cytotoxicity of isolates was evaluated on five human tumor cell lines, 1 and 3 showed moderate cytotoxic activities against HL-60.
期刊介绍:
STEROIDS is an international research journal devoted to studies on all chemical and biological aspects of steroidal moieties. The journal focuses on both experimental and theoretical studies on the biology, chemistry, biosynthesis, metabolism, molecular biology, physiology and pharmacology of steroids and other molecules that target or regulate steroid receptors. Manuscripts presenting clinical research related to steroids, steroid drug development, comparative endocrinology of steroid hormones, investigations on the mechanism of steroid action and steroid chemistry are all appropriate for submission for peer review. STEROIDS publishes both original research and timely reviews. For details concerning the preparation of manuscripts see Instructions to Authors, which is published in each issue of the journal.
