Chemical examination of an EtOAc extract a cultured Acremonium sp. fungus from deep-sea sediments resulted in the isolation 15 new eremophilane-type sesquiterpenoids, namely, acremeremophilanes A–O (1–15), together with seven known analogues. The structures compounds were determined through extensive spectroscopic analyses, association chemical conversions and ECD calculations for configurational assignments. PKS-derived 4-hexenoic acid unit 2–6 is rarely found nature. All evaluated...
Abstract Bioassay-guided fractionation of the ethanolic extract leaves Psidium guajava led to isolation 11 new meroterpenoids, psiguajadials A–K ( 1 – ), along with 17 known ones 12 28 ). Their structures and absolute configurations were elucidated by spectroscopic methods comparison experimental calculated ECD. Compounds 2 represent two unprecedented skeletons 3,5-diformyl-benzyl phloroglucinol-coupled sesquiterpenoid, while 3 is first example meroterpenoids coupling via an oxepane ring....
Two heterodimeric diterpenoids (1 and 2) comprising abietane lactone nor-rosane constituent units were isolated from Euphorbia ebracteolata roots. Compound 1 exhibited a moderate inhibitory effect on α-glucosidase (IC50 = 7.94 μM), with Ki value of 10.8 μM. In silico molecular docking has been performed to investigate the inhibition mechanism. 2 inhibited acetyl transfer activity Mycobacterium tuberculosis GlmU 41.85 which is novel treatment target.
Three novel asteltoxin-bearing dimers namely diasteltoxins A-C (1-3) along with asteltoxin were isolated from a mutated strain of sponge-derived fungus Emericella variecolor XSA-07-2. Their structures determined by extensive spectroscopic analyses including the computed electronic circular dichroism (ECD) data for configurational assignment. The biogenetic formation through [2 + 2] cycloaddition was postulated. Diasteltoxins 1-3 exerted inhibitory effects against tumor cell lines H1299 and...
