Abstract
Keratinophilic fungi are significant pathogens that cause dermatomycoses. Here, we report the discovery of four novel triterpene glycosides, tricycloiridals A-D (1-4), from the keratinophilic fungus Chrysosporium sp. YX1242, guided by mass-spectrometry-based molecular networking. Their structures, featuring unprecedented triterpene skeletons, were elucidated through comprehensive NMR, HRESIMS, and Snatzke's and advanced Mosher's methods. Notably, compound 1 exhibited potent cytotoxicity against human keratinocytes HaCaT (IC50 = 2.50 ± 0.2 μM), suggesting a potential role as a virulence factor in fungal pathogenesis. Additionally, bioinformatic analysis was used to predict the biosynthetic gene cluster responsible for these triterpene glycosides.
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.
