Abstract
Talarotetramates A-F (1-6), six novel 3-decalinoyltetramic acids (3-DTAs), were discovered from the deep-sea-derived fungus Talaromyces sp. gb505, along with a structurally related analogue, talaroconvolutin A (7). Their structures were elucidated by comprehensive analysis of NMR spectra, HRESIMS, and quantum chemical calculations of ECD and NMR data. Compounds 1-4 represent the first examples of unique 3-DTA heterodimers, formed via intermolecular ketalization between talaroconvolutin-type 3-DTAs and a C10 polyketide. Compound 5 is the first nor-talaroconvolutin-type 3-DTA with the reduction of the para-hydroxybenzyl, while 6 contains a unique epoxy ring system, unprecedented in 3-DTAs. We discovered for the first time that compounds 6 and 7 exhibit inhibitory activity against RSL3-induced ferroptosis. Notably, 6 exhibited potent ferroptosis inhibition with an EC50 value of 7.77 μM. Mechanistic investigations indicate that 6 suppresses ferroptosis by alleviating lipid peroxidation and upregulating NRF2 expression. The present work provides new insights into the structural diversity and pharmaceutical potential of 3-DTAs.
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.
