Abstract
One novel indole diterpene penrhizovarin A (1) and one known analogue (2), were characterized from Penicillium sp. KYG-9. Structural elucidation was accomplished through comprehensive spectroscopic analyses, including high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS), X-ray crystallography, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Penrhizovarin A (1) is the first reported indole diterpene characterized by both an unprecedented F-ring cleavage and a novel 4/6/6/6/5–6/6/6 pentacyclic scaffold incorporating a rare dioxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane unit. The single crystal of 2 was obtained for the first time, and its planar structure and stereochemistry were further confirmed by X-ray single crystal diffraction. In vitro bioassays revealed that penrhizovarin A exhibited potent cytotoxicity against all tested human cancer cell lines, with particularly notable activity against HL-60 (leukemia), A-549 (lung cancer), and SW-480 (colon cancer) cell lines, surpassing the activity of the positive control cisplatin. Additionally, penrhizovarin A demonstrated significant antifungal activities.
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.
