Fan ZY, Peng J, Lou JQ, Chen Y, Wu XM, Tan R, Tan RX. Neuroprotective α-pyrones from Nigrospora oryzae, an endophytic fungus residing in Taxus chinensis var. mairei. PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2023; 216:113873. [PMID: 37769958 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2023.113873] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023]
Abstract
Endophytes coevolve with plant hosts and thus are more probable to acquire the character (in favor) of producing undescribed bioactive metabolites. Consequently, the topic has been intensely investigated for over two decades, but endophytic metabolites with neuroprotective effect remain scarce. The study presents the discovery of eight undescribed (named solanapyrones U-Z and prosolanapyrones A and B) and six known pyrones (solanapyrones A-C and E-G) from the culture of Nigrospora oryzae, an endophytic fungus associated with Taxus chinensis var. mairei. The structures and absolute configurations of undescribed pyrones were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis, modified Mosher's method, and induced circular dichroism (ICD) spectrum. Solanapyrones A and B and an undescribed pyrone (solanapyrone U) were demonstrated to be more neuroprotective than clenbuterol in inducing bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (bMSCs) to secret nerve growth factor (NGF). The work updates the pyrone chemodiversity in nature and extends the biofunction repertoire of solanapyrone-related polyketides.

Fitoterapia 2022; 161:105254. [PMID: 35872163 DOI: 10.1016/j.fitote.2022.105254] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2022] [Revised: 07/11/2022] [Accepted: 07/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Secondary metabolites produced by the ascomycetes have attracted wide attention from researchers. Their diverse chemical structures and rich biological activities are essential in medicine, food, and agriculture. The monophyletic Nigrospora genus belongs to the Apiosporaceae family and is a rich source of novel and diverse bioactive metabolites. It occurs as a common plant pathogen, endophyte, and saprobe distributed in many ecosystems worldwide. Researchers have focused on discovering new species and secondary metabolites in the past ten years. The host diseases caused by Nigrospora species are also investigated. This review describes 50 references from Web of Science, CNKI, Google Scholar and PubMed related to the secondary metabolites from Nigrospora. Here, a total of 231 compounds isolated from five known species and 21 unidentified species of Nigrospora from January 1991 to June 2022 are summarized. Their structures are attributed to polyketides, terpenoids, steroids, N-containing compounds, and fatty acids. Meanwhile, 77 metabolites exhibited various biological activities like cytotoxic, antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antileukemic, antimalarial, phytotoxic, enzyme inhibitory, etc. Notably, this review presents a comprehensive literature survey focusing on the chemistry and bioactivity of secondary metabolites from Nigrospora.
