Abstract
Ten new compounds, including three pairs of diarylcyclopentenone enantiomers (±) talaromycesins A-C (1-3) and four biphenyl derivatives talaromycesins D-G (4-7), along with four known compounds (8-11), were isolated from the fungus Talaromyces adpressus. Their structures were determined by analyses of extensive NMR spectroscopic and HRESIMS data, and their absolute configurations were elucidated by the dimolybdenum tetraacetate [Mo2(AcO)4]-induced ECD spectra, X-ray crystallographic studies, and ECD calculations. These new compounds were evaluated for their immunosuppressive activities for the first time, and compound 7 probably exerted liver-protective and anti-inflammatory effects on Con A-induced AIH by decreasing the levels of inflammatory cytokines, modulating immune homeostasis, and decreasing hepatocyte apoptosis, which may become a potential drug for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
Five pairs of undescribed enantiomeric α-pyrone derivatives (±)-adprepyrones A-E (±1-±5), together with an unreported congener adprepyrone F (6), and 6-[(E)-3-Hydroxyprop-1-enyl]-4-methoxy-5-methyl-2-pyrone (7), recently reported as synthetic compound, were isolated from the fungus Talaromyces adpressus. Their structures with absolute configurations were elucidated by HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR, electronic circular dichroism calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. (±)-Adprepyrone A (±1) possesses an unreported carbon skeleton formed by the fusion of an α-pyrone derivative with nicotinamide. Compounds (+)-2, (±)-4, (±)-5, and 7 showed moderate inhibitory activity against concanavalin A (ConA)-induced T lymphocyte proliferation with IC50 values ranging from 8.9 to 19.8 μM.

Abstract
The main challenges associated with leishmaniasis chemotherapy are drug toxicity, the possible emergence of resistant parasites, and a limited choice of therapeutic agents. Therefore, new drugs and assays to screen and detect novel active compounds against leishmaniasis are urgently needed. We thus validated Leishmania braziliensis (Lb) and Leishmania infantum (Li) that constitutively express the tandem tomato red fluorescent protein (tdTomato) as a model for large-scale screens of anti-Leishmania compounds. Confocal microscopy of Lb and Li::tdTomato revealed red fluorescence distributed throughout the entire parasite, including the flagellum, and flow cytometry confirmed that the parasites emitted intense fluorescence. We evaluated the infectivity of cloned promastigotes and amastigotes constitutively expressing tdTomato, their growth profiles in THP-1 macrophages, and susceptibility to trivalent antimony, amphotericin, and miltefosine in vitro. The phenotypes of mutant and wild-type parasites were similar, indicating that the constitutive expression of tdTomato did not interfere with the evaluated parameters. We applied our validated model to a repositioning strategy and assessed the susceptibility of the parasites to eight commercially available drugs. We also screened 32 natural plant and fungal extracts and 10 pure substances to reveal new active compounds. The infectivity and Glucantime treatment efficacy of BALB/c mice and golden hamsters infected with Lb and Li::tdTomato mutant lines, respectively, were very similar compared to animals infected with wild-type parasites. Standardizing our methodology would offer more rapid, less expensive, and easier assays to screen of compounds against L. braziliensis and L. infantum in vitro and in vivo. Our method could also enhance the discovery of active compounds for treating leishmaniasis.

Abstract
Weed and soil-borne pathogens could synergistically affect vegetable growth and result in serious losses. Investigation of agricultural bioactive metabolites from marine-derived fungus Alternaria iridiaustralis yielded polyketides (1-4), benzopyrones (5-7), meroterpenoid derivatives (8), and alkaloid (9). The structures and absolute configurations of new 1, 3, 5-6, and 8 were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses, as well as comparisons between measured and calculated ECD and 13C NMR data. Compounds 1-4, 6, and 9 showed herbicidal potentials against the radicle growth of Echinochloa crusgalli seedlings. Especially 9 exhibited inhibition rates over 90% at concentrations of 20 and 40 μg/mL, even better than the commonly used chemical herbicide acetochlor. Furthermore, 9 also performed a wide herbicidal spectrum against the malignant weeds Digitaria sanguinalis, Portulaca oleracea, and Descurainia sophia. Compounds 5-8 showed antifungal activities against carbendazim-resistant strains of Botrytis cinerea, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from 32 to 128 μg/mL, which were better than those of carbendazim (MIC = 256 μg/mL). Especially 6 exhibited integrated effects against both soil-borne pathogens and weed. Overall, marine-derived fungus A. iridiaustralis, which produces herbicidal and antifungal metabolites 1-9, showed the potential for use as a microbial pesticide to control both weed and soil-borne pathogens.

Abstract
Phaeosphaeria sp., a lichen-associated fungus, produced six skeletally new dimeric spiciferones (1-6) and four known metabolites (7-10). The new structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis, and their absolute configurations were determined by electronic circular dichroism calculations. Compounds 1 and 3-6 represent the first examples of ethylidene-bridged dimers from the building blocks 4H-chromene-4,7(8H)-dione and α-pyrone, and 2 is a unique homodimer of spiciferone. Compounds 1, 2, and 5-9 significantly inhibited the growth of weed-like dicot Arabidopsis thaliana at 100.0 μM. Notably, 8 showed the strongest inhibitory activity against the fresh weight and root elongation of A. thaliana with the IC50 values of 32.04 and 26.78 μM, respectively, whereas 1, 8, and 9 stimulated the growth of A. thaliana at lower concentrations. Meanwhile, compounds 2 and 6 exhibited weak inhibitory effects on the root elongation of monocot rice, while 1 and 8 exhibited growth-promoting effects on the shoot and root elongation of rice in a roughly dose-dependent manner.

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
The fungus Pseudopestalotiopsis theae isolated from the fresh leaves of Illigera celebica, has been reported to be a pathogenic fungus that can cause gray blight on tea leaves, a disease characterized by the appearance of necrotic lesions on tea leaves. The pathogenic substances in this fungus have not been clearly identified. Considering the possible involvement of specialized metabolites in symptom appearance, a chemical investigation of specialized metabolites on P. theae was conducted, resulting in the isolation of eight meroterpenoids, including six undescribed biscognienynes G-L and two known ones (biscognienynes B and D). The structures of these new compounds were characterized by extensive NMR spectroscopic and HR-ESI-MS data, and their absolute configurations were elucidated by ECD calculations. Except for biscogniyne L, all the isolated biscognienynes showed different degrees of phytotoxicity to tea in vivo, thereby revealing for the first time the substances in P. theae that cause tea gray blight. Inspired by the fact that phytotoxins produced by pathogenic fungus are an effective resource for designing natural and safe bioherbicides, when assayed the herbicidal activity through Petri dish bioassays, biscognienynes G-J showed phytotoxic effects against seed germination and seedling growth of Setaria viridis, strongly inhibiting seed germination percentage and radicle and germ lengths of seedlings. The results of this study demonstrated the great potential of biscognienynes G-J to be proposed and developed as ecofriendly herbicides.

Abstract
Three pairs of undescribed enantiomeric α-pyrone derivatives (1a/1b-3a/3b) and six undescribed congeners (4-9), were obtained from the fungus Alternaria brassicicola that was isolated from the fresh leaves of Siegesbeckia pubescens Makino (Compositae). The structures of these new compounds were characterized by extensive NMR spectroscopic and HRESIMS data, and their absolute configurations were further elucidated by a modified Mosher's method, chemical conversion, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and ECD calculations. This is the first report of three pairs of enantiomeric α-pyrone derivatives from the fungus A. brassicicola, and these enantiomers were successfully acquired from scalemic mixtures via chiral HPLC. Compounds 1a/1b-3a/3b and 4-9 were evaluated for the herbicidal activity against Echinochloa crusgalli, Setaria viridis, Portulaca oleracea, and Taraxacum mongolicum. At a concentration of 100 μg/mL, compounds 1a and 1b could significantly inhibit the germination of monocotyledon weed seeds (E. crusgalli and S. viridis) with inhibitory ratios ranging from 68.6 ± 6.4% to 84.2 ± 5.1%, which was equivalent to that of the positive control (glyphosate). The potential structure-herbicidal activity relationship of these compounds was also discussed. To a certain extent, the results of this study will attract great interest for the potential practical application of promising fungal metabolites, α-pyrone derivatives, as ecofriendly herbicides.

Abstract
Cyclic dipeptides, also know as diketopiperazines (DKP), the simplest cyclic forms of peptides widespread in nature, are unsurpassed in their structural and bio-functional diversity. DKPs, especially those containing proline, due to their unique features such as, inter alia, extra-rigid conformation, high resistance to enzyme degradation, increased cell permeability, and expandable ability to bind a diverse of targets with better affinity, have emerged in the last years as biologically pre-validated platforms for the drug discovery. Recent advances have revealed their enormous potential in the development of next-generation theranostics, smart delivery systems, and biomaterials. Here, we present an updated review on the biological and structural profile of these appealing biomolecules, with a particular emphasis on those with anticancer properties, since cancers are the main cause of death all over the world. Additionally, we provide a consideration on supramolecular structuring and synthons, based on the proline-based DKP privileged scaffold, for inspiration in the design of compound libraries in search of ideal ligands, innovative self-assembled nanomaterials, and bio-functional architectures.

Abstract
Transketolase (TK) represents a potential target for novel herbicide development. To discover novel TK inhibitors with potency against resistant weeds, 36 thioether compounds containing 1,2,4-triazole Schiff bases were designed and synthesized for herbicidal activity evaluation. The results demonstrated that compounds 5av and 5aw provided excellent weed control with inhibition of over 90% against the tested weeds, even at concentrations as low as 100 mg/L in vitro. In addition, compounds 5av and 5aw exhibited higher postemergence herbicidal activity than all of the positive controls against the tested weeds at 50-90 g [active ingredient (ai)]/ha in a greenhouse, while being safe for crops of maize and wheat at 90 g (ai)/ha. Fluorescent binding experiments of At TK indicated that compounds 5av and 5aw had strong TK inhibitory activity and could tightly bind with the enzyme At TK. Also, molecular docking analyses revealed that the structures of compounds 5av and 5aw were suitable for TK inhibitory activity. Taken together, these results suggested that compounds 5av and 5aw were promising herbicide candidates for weed control in wheat and maize fields targeting TK.

Abstract
In this study, a series of novel p-menthane type secondary amines (sec-p-menthane-7-amine derivatives 3a-3y) were synthesized and then characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS. The post-emergence herbicidal activities of these amines against barnyard grass and rape were evaluated by the culture dish method. Most of the sec-p-menthane-7-amine derivatives showed excellent herbicidal activities equivalent to or even higher than either diuron or glyphosate. The alkyl-substituted derivatives were more active than the phenyl-substituted derivatives. The herbicidal activities of compounds 3p, 3r, 3u, and 3w against the root growth of barnyard grass were 404% higher, respectively, than those of glyphosate. The herbicidal activities of compounds 3q, 3v, 3w, and 3x against the root growth of rape were 561%, 494%, 491%, and 544% higher, respectively, than those of diuron, and 484%, 760%, 423%, and 665% higher respectively, than those of diuron against shoot growth of rape. In addition, compounds 3p, 3u, and 3v are almost harmless to rice, wheat, sorghum, maize, and peanuts at a concentration of 100 mg L-1. Most of the compounds are nontoxic to HUVEC-C and BALB/c 3T3 cells. It is indicated that the title compounds could be utilized as botanical herbicides for future weed control.

Abstract
Botrytis cinerea is one of the most destructive fungal pathogens which can cause gray mold diseases of numerous plant species, while the frequent applications of fungicides also result in the fungicide-resistances of B. cinerea. In this study, a new Streptomyces strain FX13 was obtained to show biocontrol potentials against fungicide-resistant B. cinerea B3-4. Its in vitro and in vivo antifungal mechanisms were further investigated. The results showed that the culture extract of strain FX13 could significantly inhibit the mycelia growth of B. cinerea B3-4 with the EC50 value of 5.40 mg L-1, which was greatly lower than those of pyrisoxazole, boscalid and azoxystrobin. Further bioassay-guided isolation of the extract had yielded the antifungal component SA1, which was elucidated as a 26-membered polyene macrolide of oligomycin A. SA1 could inhibit the mycelia growth, spore germination, germ tube elongation and sporogenesis of B. cinerea B3-4 in vitro, and also showed significant curative and protective effects against gray mold on grapes in vivo. Moreover, SA1 could result in the loss of membrane integrity and the leakage of cytoplasmic contents, which might be related to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and membrane lipid peroxidation. Besides, intracellular adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content of B. cinerea B3-4 decreased after SA1-treatment. Overall, the oligomycin A-producing strain FX13 could inhibit fungicide-resistant B. cinerea B3-4 in vitro and in vivo, also highlighting its biocontrol potential against gray mold.

Abstract
Soil-borne pathogens and weeds could synergistically affect vegetable growth and result in serious losses. The investigation of antagonistic metabolites from a marine-derived entomopathogenic fungus, Beauveria felina, obtained polyhydroxy steroid (1), tricyclic diterpenoid (2), isaridin (3), and destruxin cyclodepsipeptides (4-6). The structures and absolute configurations of new 1-3 were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic analyses, as well as electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Compounds 1 and 2 showed antifungal activities against carbendazim-resistant strains of Botrytis cinerea, with the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from 16 to 32 μg/mL, which were significantly better than those of carbendazim (MIC = 256 μg/mL). Compound 5 exhibited significant antagonistic activity against the radicle growth of Amaranthus retroflexus seedlings, which was almost identical to that of the positive control (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid). The structure-activity differences of 4-6 suggested that the Cl atom in HMPA1 and β-Me in Pro2 should be the key factors to their herbicidal activities. Besides, compounds 3-6 showed moderate nematicidal activities against Meloidogyne incognita. These antagonistic effects of 1-6 were first reported and further revealed the synergistically antagonistic potential of B. felina to be developed into the biopesticide.

Abstract
One new meroterpenoid-type alkaloid, oxalicine C (1), and two new erythritol derivatives, penicierythritols A (6) and B (7), together with four known meroterpenoids (2-5), were isolated from the marine algal-derived endophytic fungus Penicillium chrysogenum XNM-12. Their planar structures were determined by means of spectroscopic analyses, including UV, 1D and 2D NMR, and HRESIMS spectra. Their stereochemical configurations were established by comparing the experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra for compound 1, as well as by comparison of the optical rotations with literature data for compounds 6 and 7. Notably, oxalicine C (1) represents the first example of an oxalicine alkaloid with a cleaved α-pyrone ring, whereas penicierythritols A (6) and B (7) are the first reported from the Penicillium species. The antimicrobial activities of compounds 1-7 were evaluated. Compounds 1 and 6 exhibited moderate antibacterial effects against the plant pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 8 and 4 μg/mL, respectively. Compound 6 also possesses moderate antifungal properties against the plant pathogen Alternaria alternata with a MIC value of 8 μg/mL.

Abstract
In this study, we will report on the synthesis and application of efficient botanical agrochemicals from turpentine for sustainable crop protection. Two series of turpentine derived secondary amines were synthesized and identified by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS. The herbicidal activities against Echinochloa crus-galli were evaluated. The potential toxicity of the synthesized compounds was tested by MTT cytotoxicity analysis. The effect of structure of the synthesized secondary amines and corresponding Schiff base compounds on their activities was investigated by quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study. All target products were found to be low toxicity, with similar or higher herbicidal activities than commercial herbicides diuron and Glyphosate. Results of QSAR study showed that a best four-descriptor QSAR model with R2 of 0.880 and Rloo2 of 0.818 was obtained. The four descriptors most relevant to the herbicidal activities are the min valency of a N atom, the max total interaction for a C-H bond, the relative number of aromatic bonds, and the min partial charge (Qmin).

Abstract
Endophytic fungi have proven to be prolific producers of bioactive secondary metabolites with agricultural applications. In this study, bioassay-guided isolation of the endophytic fungus Acremonium vitellinum yielded four anthraquinone derivatives (compounds 1-4), including a previously undescribed dimethylated derivative of bipolarin, 6,8-di-O-methylbipolarin (1). Their structures were determined by 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance analysis as well as high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry data, and the absolute configuration of 1 was established by comparing the calculated and experimental electronic circular dichroism spectra. The insecticidal activity of the isolated compounds against the cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera was evaluated. The new compound 1 showed the strongest larvicidal activity against the 3rd instar larvae of H. armigera with an LC50 value of 0.72 mg/mL. In addition, transcriptome sequencing was performed to evaluate the molecular mechanism of the insecticidal activity. In total, 5732 differentially expressed genes were found, among which 2904 downregulated genes and 2828 upregulated genes were mainly involved in cell autophagy, apoptosis, and DNA mismatch repair and replication. The results presented in this study reveal how 1 exerts its insecticidal effects against H. armigera via genome-wide differential gene expression analyses. Our findings suggest that anthraquinone derivatives are potential biopesticides for cotton bollworm control.
