Abstract
Guided by biosynthetic gene cluster analysis, fractionation of the fermentation extract of Aspergillus templicola from the sponge Agelas sp. led to the isolation of nine new cytochalasins, named colachalasins A-I (1-9), along with four known cytochalasins (10-13). The structures of 1-9 were elucidated using spectroscopic data and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structurally, compound 2 is characterized by an open 12-carbon chain unprecedented among the cytochalasins. Compounds 1-3 demonstrated moderate protective effects against alcohol-induced hepatic damage in zebrafish assays. Compound 11 exhibited potent anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the expression of IKKβ, STAT3, TNF-α, IL-1β, NF-κB, NLRP3, IL-6, and MyD88 while enhancing the expression of IL-4 and Nrf2 in zebrafish assays. Additionally, compound 7 showed significant cytotoxicity against NCI-H446 cell lines, with an IC50 value of 0.67 μM, and induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner.
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.
