Abstract
Meroterpenoids are secondary metabolites formed due to mixed biosynthetic pathways which are produced in part from a terpenoid co-substrate. These mixed biosynthetically hybrid compounds are widely produced by bacteria, algae, plants, and animals. Notably amazing chemical diversity is generated among meroterpenoids via a combination of terpenoid scaffolds with polyketides, alkaloids, phenols, and amino acids. This review deals with the isolation, chemical diversity, and biological effects of 452 new meroterpenoids reported from natural sources from January 2016 to December 2020. Most of the meroterpenoids possess antimicrobial, cytotoxic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, enzyme inhibitory, and immunosupressive effects.

[PMID: 34229199 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2021.105111] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2021] [Revised: 06/17/2021] [Accepted: 06/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Furanaspermeroterpenes A (1) and B (2), with a unique 6/6/6/5/5 pentacyclic skeleton, and five new congeners aspermeroterpenes D-H (3-7) were co-isolated from the marine-derived fungus Aspergillus terreus GZU-31-1. Among them, compounds 1 and 2 with rare five-membered D/E coupling rings were the first example of DMOA-derived meroterpenoids. Moreover, compound 3 was the first reported 6/6/6/6/5 pentacyclic meroterpenoid featuring an unusual cis-fused A/B ring. In the bioassays, all of the isolates were evaluated on the inhibitory activities against lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide production in RAW 264.7 cells, and compounds 3-7 exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity with IC50 values ranging from 6.74 to 29.59 μM than positive control (Indomethacin, IC50 30.98 μM).

Abstract
Five pairs of meroterpenoid enantiomers, (±)-gancochlearols J - N (1-5), were isolated from the fruiting bodies of Ganoderma cochlear. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR and HRESIMS data. The absolute configurations of gancochlearols J - M (1-4) were assigned by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Biological evaluation showed that (-)-1 and (-)-2 could inhibit renal fibrosis in TGF-β1-induced rat kidney proximal tubular cells (NRK-52e).
