Abstract
Two new sesterterpenoids, sesterchaetins A and B (1 and 2), and two new diepoxide polyketides, chaetoketoics A and B (3 and 4), were characterized from the culture extract of Chaetomium globosum SD-347, a fungal strain derived from deep sea-sediment. Their structures and absolute configurations were unambiguously determined by detailed NMR, mass spectra, and X-ray crystallographic analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 contained a distinctive 5/8/6/5 tetracyclic carbon-ring-system, which represented a rarely occurring natural product framework. The new isolates 1-4 exhibited selective antimicrobial activities against human and aquatic pathogenic bacteria and plant-pathogenic fungi.

[PMID: 38786595 PMCID: PMC11122946 DOI: 10.3390/md22050204] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Thirty-two fungal polyketide derivatives, including eleven new compounds, namely (3R,5'R)-5-hydroxytalaroflavone (1), talaroisochromenols A-C (3, 5, and 11), (8R,9R,10aR)-5-hydroxyaltenuene (13), (8R,9R,10aS)-5-hydroxyaltenuene (14), (8R,9S,10aR)-5-hydroxyaltenuene (15), nemanecins D and E (25 and 26), 2,5-dimethyl-8-iodochromone (27), and talarofurolactone A (29), together with one new naturally occurring but previously synthesized metabolite, 6-hydroxy-4-methoxycoumarin (28), were isolated and identified from the deep-sea cold-seep-derived fungus Talaromyces sp. CS-258. Among them, racemic ((±)-11) or epimeric (13-15, 25, and 26) mixtures were successfully separated by chiral or gradient elution HPLC. Meanwhile, compound 27 represents a rarely reported naturally occurring iodinated compound. Their planar structures as well as absolute configurations were determined by extensive analysis via NMR, MS, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, Mosher's method, and ECD or NMR calculation (with DP4+ probability analysis). Possible biosynthetic routes of some isolated compounds, which are related to chromone or isochromone biosynthetic pathways, were put forward. The biological analysis results revealed that compounds 7, 9, 10, 18-22, 24, 30, and 31 showed broad-spectrum antibacterial activities against several human and aquatic pathogens with MIC ranges of 0.5-64 μg/mL.

Abstract
Marine-derived piperazine alkaloids (MDPAs) constitute a significant group of natural compounds known for their diverse structures and biological activities. Over the past five decades, substantial efforts have been devoted to isolating these alkaloids from marine sources and characterizing their chemical and bioactive profiles. To date, a total of 922 marine-derived piperazine alkaloids have been reported from various marine organisms. These compounds demonstrate a wide range of pharmacological properties, including cytotoxicity, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and various other activities. Notably, among these activities, cytotoxicity emerges as the most prominent characteristic of marine-derived piperazine alkaloids. This review also summarizes the structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies associated with the cytotoxicity of these compounds. In summary, our objective is to provide an overview of the research progress concerning marine-derived piperazine alkaloids, with the aim of fostering their continued development and utilization.

Abstract
Six new highly oxygenated and polycyclic andrastin-type meroterpenoids, namely, bialorastins A-F (1-6), were discovered from the culture of Penicillium bialowiezense CS-283, a fungus isolated from the deep-sea cold seep squat lobster Shinkaia crosnieri. The planar structures and absolute configurations of these compounds were determined by detailed analysis of spectroscopic data, single crystal X-ray diffraction, and TDDFT-ECD calculations. Structurally, bialorastin A (1) represents a rare 17-nor-andrastin that possesses an unusual 2-oxaspiro[4.5]decane-1,4-dione moiety with a unique 6/6/6/6/5 polycyclic system, while bialorastin B (2) is also a 17-nor-andrastin featuring a gem-propane-1,2-dione moiety. Additionally, bialorastins C-E (3-5) possess a 6/6/6/6/5/5 fused hexacyclic skeleton, characterized by distinctive 3,23-acetal/lactone-bridged functionalities. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their proangiogenic activities in transgenic zebrafish. Compound 3 exhibited significant proangiogenic activity, which notably increased the number and length of intersegmental blood vessels in model zebrafish in a dose-dependent manner at concentrations of 20 and 40 μM. On a molecular scale, the tested compounds were modeled through molecular docking to have insight into the interactions with the possible target VEGFR2. Mechanistically, RT-qPCR results revealed that compound 3 could promote angiogenesis via activating VEGFR2 and subsequently activating the downstream PI3K/AKT and MAPK signaling pathways. These findings indicate that 3 could be a potential lead compound for developing angiogenesis agents.

Abstract
Seven novel isocoumarins, prunolactones A-G (1-7), featuring an unusual 6/6/6/6/6 spiropentacyclic skeleton, together with two biosynthetic precursors phomopsilactone (8) and methyl 3-epi-shikimate (9), were isolated from the endophytic fungus Phomopsis prunorum guided by UPLC-QTOF-MS and 1H NMR spectroscopic analytical techniques. Their structures including absolute configurations of 1-7 were elucidated based on extensive spectroscopic data, X-ray diffraction analysis, and ECD calculations. Biogenetically, compounds 1-7 are proposed to be derived from polyketide and shikimate pathways via key intermolecular Diels - Alder reactions.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major factor contributing to the failure of hepatic resection and liver transplantation. As part of our ongoing investigation into bioactive compounds derived from fungi, we isolated eight indole alkaloids (1-8) from the endophytic fungus Aspergillus amoenus TJ507. Among these alkaloids, one previously undescribed compound, amoenamide D (1), was identified. The planar structure of 1 was elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis, including HRESIMS and NMR spectra. The absolute configuration of 1 was elucidated by using electronic circular dichroism calculations. Notably, in the CoCl2-induced hepatocyte damage model, notoamide Q (3) exhibited significant anti-hypoxia injury activity. Furthermore, in a murine hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury model, treatment with 3 prevents IRI-induced liver damage and hepatocellular apoptosis. Consequently, 3 might serve as a potential lead compound to prevent hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Verrucosidins, a methylated α-pyrone class of polyketides rarely reported upon, have been implicated in one or more neurological diseases. Despite the significance of verrucosidins as neurotoxins, the absolute configurations of most of the derivatives have not been accurately characterized yet. In this study, three pairs of C-9 epimeric verrucosidin derivatives, including the known compounds penicyrones A and B (1a/1b) and 9-O-methylpenicyrones A and B (2a/2b), the new compounds 9-O-ethylpenicyrones A and B (3a/3b), together with the related known derivative verrucosidin (4), were isolated and identified from the culture extract of Penicillium cyclopium SD-413, which was obtained from the marine sediment collected from the East China sea. Their structures were established based on an in-depth analysis of nuclear magnetic resonances (NMR) and mass spectroscopic data. Determination of the absolute configurations of these compounds was accomplished by Mosher's method and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations of electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and optical rotation (OR). The configurational assignment of penicyrone A demonstrated that the previously reported C-6 absolute configuration of verrucosidin derivatives needs to be revised from (6S) to (6R). The 9R/9S epimers of compounds 1-3 were found to exhibit growth inhibition against some pathogenic bacteria, indicating that they have potential as lead compounds for the creation of antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
Seven undescribed guaiane-type sesquiterpenoids named biscogniauxiaols A-G (1-7) were isolated from the endophytic fungus Biscogniauxia petrensis on Dendrobium orchids. Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic analyses, electronic circular dichroism (EC) and specific rotation (SR) calculations. Compound 1 represented a new family of guaiane-type sesquiterpenoids featuring an unprecedented [5/6/6/7] tetracyclic system. A plausible biosynthetic pathway for compounds 1-7 was proposed. The anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory and multidrug resistance reversal activities of the isolates were evaluated. Compounds 1, 2 and 7 exhibited potent inhibitory activities against Candida albicans with MIC values ranging from 1.60 to 6.30 μM, and suppressed nitric oxide (NO) production with IC50 ranging from 4.60 to 20.00 μM. Additionally, all compounds (100 μg/mL) enhanced the cytotoxicity of cisplatin in cisplatin-resistant non-small cell lung cancer cells (A549/DDP). This study opened up a new source for obtaining bioactive guaiane-type sesquiterpenoids and compounds 1, 2, and 7 were promising for further optimization as multifunctional inhibitors for anti-fungal (C. albicans) and anti-inflammatory purposes.

A large body of fungal secondary metabolites has been discovered to exhibit potent antibacterial activities with distinctive mechanisms and has the potential to be an untapped resource for drug discovery. Here, we describe the isolation and characterization of five new antibacterial indole diketopiperazine alkaloids, namely 24,25-dihydroxyvariecolorin G (1), 25-hydroxyrubrumazine B (2), 22-chloro-25-hydroxyrubrumazine B (3), 25-hydroxyvariecolorin F (4), and 27-epi-aspechinulin D (5), along with the known analogue neoechinulin B (6) from a fungal strain of deep-sea cold seep-derived Aspergillus chevalieri. Among these compounds, 3 and 4 represented a class of infrequently occurring fungal chlorinated natural products. Compounds 1-6 showed inhibitory activities against several pathogenic bacteria with MIC values ranging from 4 to 32 μg/mL. It was revealed that compound 6 could induce structural damage to the Aeromonas hydrophila cells based on the observation by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which led to the bacteriolysis and death of A. hydrophila, suggesting that neoechinulin B (6) might be a potential alternative to novel antibiotics development.

Abstract
Fumitryprostatin A (1), the first example of an indole diketopiperazine alkaloid with a tricyclic 5/6/5 skeleton characterized by a dipyrrolo[1,2-a:1',2'-d]pyrazine-5,10-dione ring system decorated with a prenylated indole moiety, and fuminoid A (2), a sesquiterpenoid with a bicyclo[3.2.1]octane ring featuring a novel carbon skeleton via the transformation of the methyl, were isolated from the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus along with six known diketopiperazine alkaloids. The structure with the absolute configuration of 1 was determined based on spectroscopic analyses and X-ray crystallographic analysis, while the configuration of 2 was assigned tentatively by 13C NMR data with DP4+ probability analyses and ECD calculations. A plausible biosynthetic pathway for 1 was proposed starting from L-Trp and L-Pro via normal indole diketopiperazine. Compound 1 exhibited moderate cytotoxic activity with an IC50 value of 14.6 μM, while compound 8 exhibited moderate immunosuppressive activity in vitro.

Abstract
Five new verrucosidin derivatives, poloncosidins G-K (1-5), were isolated from the deep sea cold-seep sediment-derived fungus Penicillium polonicum CS-252. Their planar structures were elucidated by discreet analysis of the NMR spectroscopic and HRESIMS spectrometric data. The absolute configurations of compounds 1-5 were deduced from the combination of the modified Mosher's method and quantum chemical calculations of their ECD and NMR (with DP4+ probability analysis) data. The antimicrobial activities against several human- and aquatic-pathogenic bacteria of all the isolated compounds were evaluated and the structure-bioactivity relationship was briefly discussed.

Abstract
Five undescribed α-pyrone derivatives, named neuropyrones A-E, were isolated from the endophytic fungus Neurospora dictyophora WZ-497 derived from the stems of Aster tataricus L. f. The structures of these α-pyrones with absolute configurations were determined by comprehensive spectroscopic analysis and computational calculations. All isolated compounds were tested for various bioactivities, including tyrosinase inhibitory activity. The results showed that neuropyrones A-C displayed potent inhibitory effects on tyrosinase with IC50 values of 0.38 ± 0.07, 0.49 ± 0.06, and 0.12 ± 0.01 mM, respectively, which were comparable to that of the positive control, kojic acid (IC50 = 0.14 ± 0.021 mM). A molecular docking study revealed the interaction between 3 and the His263, His85, Val283, Asn260, Phe264, and Val248 residues of tyrosinase.

Abstract
Five new aromatic polyketides, including a unique benzofuran derivative, talarominine A (1), and four chromone analogs talamins A–D (2–5), along with one known related metabolite, 5-hydroxy-7-methoxy-2,3-dimethylchromone (6), were isolated and identified from the Talaromyces minioluteus CS-138, an endozoic fungus obtained from the deep-sea cold seep mussel Gigantidas platifrons. Their chemical structures were elucidated by detailed analysis of their NMR spectra, HRESIMS and X-ray crystallographic data, and by comparison with literature data as well. The antibacterial and DPPH scavenging activities of compounds 1–6 were evaluated. Compounds 1–3 showed inhibitory activity against some of the tested bacteria whereas compounds 2 and 5 showed potent DPPH radical scavenging activities, which were better than that of the positive control butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). This work is likely the first report on marine natural products of mussel-derived fungus living in cold seep environments.

Abstract
Five new chloro-azaphilones, chaetofanixins A–E (1–5), and five known analogs (6–10) were isolated and identified from the hadal trench-derived fungus Chaetomium globosum YP-106. The structure of chaetofanixin E (5) is unique and interesting, bearing a highly rigid 6/6/5/3/5 penta-cyclic ring system, which is first encountered in natural products. The structures of these compounds, including absolute configurations, were determined based on the spectroscopic analysis, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, and analysis of biogenetic origins. Compounds 1–7 significantly promoted angiogenesis in a dose-dependent manner, and thus, these compounds might be used as promising molecules for the development of natural cardiovascular disease agents.

Efficient production of a cyclic dipeptide (cyclo-TA) using heterologous expression system of filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae. Microb Cell Fact 2022; 21:146.

Abstract
Background Cyclic dipeptides are an important class of natural products owing to their structural diversity and biological activities. In fungi, the cyclo-ring system is formed through the condensation of two α-amino acids via non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS). However, there are few investigations on the functional identification of this enzyme. Additionally, information on how to increase the production of cyclic dipeptide molecules is relatively scarce. Results We isolated the Eurotium cristatum NWAFU-1 fungus from Jing-Wei Fu brick tea, whose fermentation metabolites contain echinulin-related cyclic dipeptide molecules. We cloned the cirC gene, encoding an NRPS, from E. Cristatum NWAFU-1 and transferred it into the heterologous host Aspergillus oryzae. This transformant produced a novel metabolite possessing an l-tryptophan-l-alanine cyclic dipeptide backbone (Cyclo-TA). Based on the results of heterologous expression and microsomal catalysis, CriC is the first NRPS characterized in fungi that catalyzes the formation of a cyclic dipeptide from l-tryptophan and l-alanine. After substrate feeding, the final yield reached 34 mg/L. In this study, we have characterized a novel NRPS and developed a new method for cyclic dipeptide production. Conclusions In this study we successfully expressed the E. Cristatum NWAFU-1 criC gene in A. oryzae to efficiently produce cyclic dipeptide compounds. Our findings indicate that the A. oryzae heterologous expression system constitutes an efficient method for the biosynthesis of fungal Cyclic dipeptides.
