Abstract
Three new compounds, aspergienone (1), carbonarone A1 (2) and pestalamide B1 (3), along with five known compounds, were obtained from a marine-derived fungus Aspergillus sp. HL24, isolated from an unidentified coral collected in Halong Bay, Vietnam. Their structures were elucidated by extensive analysis of their 1D, 2D NMR and HRMS data as well as quantum chemical calculations. The absolute configurations of 1 and 3 were determined by comparing experimental and calculated ECD spectra and specific optical rotation values. All compounds were tested for cytotoxic activity against human lung (A549), liver (HepG2), and colorectal (HT-29) cancer cell lines. Among the tested compounds, only 8 exhibited cytotoxicity against HT-29 cells, with an IC50 value of 90.26 ± 7.67 μM. In addition, docking methods were used to study ligand interactions with the two target proteins 4ASD and 2OH4, which belong to VEGFR2. Results aligned with the experimental cytotoxicity data.
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
