Abstract
A novel azaphilone dimer, humilone A (1), along with its related monomer, humilone B (2), was isolated from cultures of the marine-derived fungus Humicola sp. HK1-8 using a molecular networking-guided discovery approach. Further investigation of the molecular family of azaphilone dimers led to the putative identification of four analogues, humilones C-F (3-6), based on systematic analysis of their characteristic MS/MS fragmentation patterns. Detailed fragmentation studies of the dimers revealed that the predominant cleavage fragments originated from C-C bond scission at the dimeric methylene bridge. Compound 1 displayed antifungal activity against Rhizoctonia solani.
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.
