Human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (hDHODH) is an attractive tumor target essential to de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis. Novel potent hDHODH inhibitors with low toxicity are urgently needed. Herein, we demonstrate the isolation of 25 ascochlorin (ASC) derivatives, including 13 new ones, from coral-derived fungus Acremonium sclerotigenum, and several them showed pronounced inhibitions against triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell lines, MDA-MB-231/-468. Interestingly, found that required...
Phycocyanin (PC) is a pigment-protein complex. It has been reported that PC exerts anti-colorectal cancer activities, although the underlying mechanism not fully elucidated. In present study, azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced mice were orally administrated with PC, followed by microbiota and transcriptomic analyses to investigate effects of on colitis-associated (CAC). Our results indicated ameliorated AOM/DSS induced inflammation. treatment significantly reduced number...
One new depsidone derivative, aspergillusidone H (3), along with seven known biosynthetically related chlorinated polyketides, were obtained from the Beibu Gulf coral-derived fungus Aspergillus unguis GXIMD 02505.

SCSIO 41411. Their structures determined by analysis of spectroscopic data, quantum chemical calculations, X-ray diffraction analyses. Peniditerpenoid (1) inhibited lipopolysaccharide-induced NF-κB an IC50 value 11 μM further effectively prevented...
Mangrove-derived actinomycetes represent a rich source of novel bioactive natural products in drug discovery. In this study, four new polyene macrolide antibiotics antifungalmycin B-E (
A strategy integrating in silico molecular docking with LXRα and phenotypic assays was adopted to discover anti-hypercholesterolemia agents a small library containing 205 marine microorganism-derived natural products, collected by our group recent years. Two fumitremorgin derivatives, 12R,13S-dihydroxyfumitremorgin C (1) tryprostatin (3), were identified as potential agonists, real-time qPCR Western blot (WB) analysis, together surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assay. The...
A new hydrindane derivative, asperhydrindane (1), along with two known sterol analogues [isocyathisterol (2) and ganodermasides D (3)] were isolated from the mangrove-derived fungus Aspergillus terreus GXIMD 03158 attaching to mangrove Acanthus ilicifoius L. The structure of 1 was elucidated based on extensive spectral analysis, HRESIMS, calculated ECD methods. All compounds evaluated for antibacterial activity. result showed that only compound 3 exhibited significant activity against...
Two new nor‐rubrofusarin derivatives (trichsimins A and B, 1 2) one chromone derivative (trichsimin C, 5) were isolated from the deep‐sea‐derived Trichoderma simmonsii ZEN3 along with 20 known compounds (3, 4, 6−23). The structures of established by detailed analyses NMR, HRESIMS, ORD data. Nafuredin (14) exhibited potent inhibition against RSL3 induced ferroptosis EC50 value 5.54 μM.
Talaromyces marneffei (TM) is an opportunistic pathogenic fungus that mainly infects immunocompromised patients. Currently, the global prevalence of talaromycosis caused by TM increasing, leading to increased demand for anti-TM drugs. In our previous study, a novel 28-membered macrolide compound, antifungalmycin B (ANB), was isolated from Streptomyces hiroshimensis GXIMD 06359, exhibiting significant antifungal properties. However, its in vivo mechanisms and direct effects warrant further...
Laminaria japonica is widely consumed as a key food and medicine. Polysaccharides are one of the most plentiful constituents this marine plant.
