Abstract
Nine undescribed cytochalasins, acrechalasins A‒I, together with three known analogs 21-O-deacetyl-L-696,474 and diaporthichalasins B and A were isolated from the marine-derived fungus Acremonium implicatum DFFSCS001. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, and the absolute configurations of acrechalasins C and D and diaporthichalasin B were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffractions. Among them, acrechalasins A and B had a rare open-chain cytochalasin skeleton with a monocyclic butyrolactam group. Biologically, acrechalasins A‒I and 21-O-deacetyl-L-696,474 exhibited significant inhibitory activity against lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide production in RAW 264.7 cells with IC50 values ranging from 1.30 to 20.31 μM. Their structure−bioactivity relationship was also discussed. Especially, acrechalasins A and D also significantly suppressed the protein expression of iNOS at the concentration of 10 μM. This is the first report on the anti-inflammatory activities of open-chain cytochalasins featuring a monocyclic butyrolactam group.
期刊介绍:
Phytochemistry is a leading international journal publishing studies of plant chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics, structure and bioactivities of phytochemicals, including ''-omics'' and bioinformatics/computational biology approaches. Phytochemistry is a primary source for papers dealing with phytochemicals, especially reports concerning their biosynthesis, regulation, and biological properties both in planta and as bioactive principles. Articles are published online as soon as possible as Articles-in-Press and in 12 volumes per year. Occasional topic-focussed special issues are published composed of papers from invited authors.
