Abstract
Ten novel trichothecene sesquiterpenoids including two new seco-trichothecenes, trichotheciumones A (1) and B (2), a new trichothecene sesquiterpenoid glycoside, trichothecinoside A (3), and seven new trichothecene sesquiterpenoids, trichothecrotocins T−Z (4−10), together with three new natural products (11−13) and thirteen known compounds (14−26), were isolated from the soil fungus Trichothecium sp. DWS815. The structures and absolute configurations of the new compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses and quantum chemistry ECD calculations. Given the notable anticancer properties of known trichothecenes, the isolated compounds were evaluated for the cytotoxic activities against three cancer cell lines (HCT116, 4T1, MHCC97H) and one normal cell line (GES-1). Cell cycle analysis revealed new compounds 7 and 8 induced G2/M phase arrest in HCT116 cancer cells, which resulted to cell proliferation inhibition activity.

期刊介绍:
Natural Products and Bioprospecting serves as an international forum for essential research on natural products and focuses on, but is not limited to, the following aspects:
Natural products: isolation and structure elucidation
Natural products: synthesis
Biological evaluation of biologically active natural products
Bioorganic and medicinal chemistry
Biosynthesis and microbiological transformation
Fermentation and plant tissue cultures
Bioprospecting of natural products from natural resources
All research articles published in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review. In addition to original research articles, Natural Products and Bioprospecting publishes reviews and short communications, aiming to rapidly disseminate the research results of timely interest, and comprehensive reviews of emerging topics in all the areas of natural products. It is also an open access journal, which provides free access to its articles to anyone, anywhere.
