Abstract
The rotting wood in freshwater is a unique eco-environment favoring various fungi. During our investigation of freshwater fungi on decaying wood, three hyphomycetes were collected from Jiangxi and Guangxi Provinces, China. Based on the morphological observations and phylogenetic analysis of a combined DNA data containing ITS, LSU, SSU and tef1-α sequences, two new Trichobotrys species, T.meilingensis and T.yunjushanensis, as well as a new record of T.effusa, were introduced. Additionally, a comprehensive description of the genus with both morphological and molecular data was first provided.

Unusual Tetrahydropyridoindole-Containing Tetrapeptides with Human Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors Targeting Activity Discovered from Antarctica-Derived Psychrophilic Pseudogymnoascus sp. HDN17-933. Mar Drugs 2022; 20:md20100593. [PMID: 36286417 PMCID: PMC9604729 DOI: 10.3390/md20100593] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2022] [Revised: 09/18/2022] [Accepted: 09/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Chemical investigation of the psychrophilic fungus Pseudogymnoascus sp. HDN17-933 derived from Antarctica led to the discovery of six new tetrapeptides psegymamides A–F (1–6), whose planar structures were elucidated by extensive NMR and MS spectrometric analyses. Structurally, psegymamides D–F (4–6) possess unique backbones bearing a tetrahydropyridoindoles unit, which make them the first examples discovered in naturally occurring peptides. The absolute configurations of structures were unambiguously determined using solid-phase total synthesis assisted by Marfey’s method, and all compounds were evaluated for their inhibition of human (h) nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes. Compound 2 showed significant inhibitory activity. A preliminary structure–activity relationship investigation revealed that the tryptophan residue and the C-terminal with methoxy group were important to the inhibitory activity. Further, the high binding affinity of compound 2 to hα4β2 was explained by molecular docking studies.

Abstract
Covering: 2000 to 2022Natural products are a vital source of compounds for use in agriculture, medicine, cosmetics, and other fields. Macrolides are a wide group of natural products found in plants and microorganisms. They are a group of polyketides constituted of different-sized rings and characterized by the presence of a lactone group. These compounds show different biological activities, such as antiviral, antiparasitic, antifungal, antibacterial, immunosuppressive, herbicidal, and cytotoxic activities. This review is focused on macrolides isolated from fungal sources, examining their biological activities, stereochemistry, and structure-activity relationships. The review reports the chemical and biological characterization of fungal macrolides isolated in the last four decades, with assistance from SciFinder searches. A critical evaluation of the most recent reviews covering this area is also provided. The content provided in this review is of interest to chemists focusing on natural substances, plant pathologists and physiologists, botanists, mycologists, biologists, and pharmacologists. Furthermore, it is of interest to farmers and agri-food specialists and those working in the medicinal and cosmetic industries due to the potential practical application of macrolides. Politicians could also be interested in this class of natural compound, as the practical application of these macrolides in the above-cited fields could reduce environmental pollution and increase consumer satisfaction with respect to food, providing reduced or zero risk to human and animal health along with increased nutraceutical value.

Hasan M, Mia MM, Munna SU, Talha MMH, Das K. Seawater fungi-derived compound screening to identify novel small molecules against dengue virus NS5 methyltransferase and NS2B/NS3 protease. INFORMATICS IN MEDICINE UNLOCKED 2022; 30:100932. [PMID: 35372666 PMCID: PMC8957362 DOI: 10.1016/j.imu.2022.100932] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2022] [Revised: 03/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Dengue fever is a virus spread by mosquitoes that has no effective treatment or vaccination. Several dengue cases combined with the current COVID-19 pandemic, exacerbates this problem. Two proteins, NS5 methyltransferase and NS2B/NS3 primary protease complexes, are crucial for dengue viral replication and are the target sites for antiviral development. Thus, this study screened published literature and identified 162 marine fungus-derived compounds with active bioavailability. Following Lipinski's rules and antiviral property prediction, 41 compounds were selected for docking with NS5 methyltransferase and NS2B/NS3 protease (PDB ID: 6IZZ and 2FOM) to evaluate compounds that could stop the action of dengue viral protein complexes. To find the best candidates, computational ADME, toxicity, and drug target prediction were performed to estimate the potential of the multi-targeting fungal-derived natural compounds. Analyzing the result from 41 compounds, Chevalone E (−13.5 kcal/mol), Sterolic acid (−10.3 kcal/mol) showed higher binding energy against dengue NS2B/NS3 protease; meanwhile, Chevalone E (−12.0 kcal/mol), Brevione K (−7.4 kcal/mol), had greater binding affinity against NS5 methyltransferase. Consequently, this study suggests that Chevalone E is an effective inhibitor of NS5 methyltransferase and NS2B/NS3 protease. Ligand-based virtual screening from DrugBank was utilized to predict biologically active small compounds against dengue virus NS2B/NS3 major protease and NS5 methyltransferase. Both licensed medications, estramustine (DB01196) and quinestrol (DB04575), were found to be similar to Chevalone E, with prediction scores of 0.818 and 0.856, respectively. In addition, cholic acid (DB02659), acitretin (DB00459), and mupirocin (DB00410) are similar to Sterolic acid, zidovudine (DB00495), imipenem (DB01598), and nadolol (DB01203) are similar to Brocazine A, and budesonide (DB01222) and colchicine (DB01394) are related to Brevione K. These findings suggest that these could be feasible dengue virus treatment options, meaning that more research is needed.

Abstract
In the present review, 182 antifouling (AF) natural products from marine microorganisms, algae and marine invertebrates reported from August 2014 to May 2020 are presented. Amongst these compounds, over half were isolated from marine-derived microorganisms, including 70 compounds from fungi and 31 compounds from bacteria. The structure-relationship of some of these compounds is also briefly discussed. Based on the work reported, a general workflow was drafted to refine the procedures for the commercialization of any novel AF compounds. Finally, butenolide, which is considered a potential environmentally friendly antifoulant, is used as a case study to show the procedures involved in AF compound work from the aspect of discovery, structure optimization, toxicity, stability, AF mechanism and coating incorporation, which highlight the current challenges and future perspectives in AF compound research.

Abstract
Two new 2-pyrone derivatives sydowiones A-B (1, 2), one new cyclopentenone derivative sydowione C (3), and one new mycotoxin 6-methoxyl austocystin A (4) along with two known analogues paecilpyrone A (5) and austocystin A (6), were isolated from the marine-derived fungus Aspergillus sydowii SCSIO 00305. The structures of 1-4 were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis. The absolute configuration of C-8 in 1 was established by Mosher method, and further confirmed by calculation of the electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. The absolute configuration of C-11 in 3 was also determined by calculation of ECD spectra. The absolute configuration of 6 was determined by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiment for the first time. Compounds 1-4 showed moderate toxicity towards brine shrine naupalii with LC50 values of 19.5, 14.3, 8.3 and 2.9 μM, respectively. And 1 and 2 also showed antioxidant activity against 2,2-diphenyl-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals with IC50 values of 46.0 and 46.6 μM, respectively.[Formula: see text].
