Abstract
Fungi from the genus Aspergillus are important resources for the discovery of bioactive agents. This investigation characterized the isolation, structural elucidation, and antimicrobial evaluation of 46 metabolites produced by the marine-derived fungus Aspergillus sp. ZZ1861 in rice solid and potato dextrose broth liquid media. The structures of these isolated compounds were determined based on their HRESIMS data, NMR spectral analyses, and data from ECD, NMR, and optical rotation calculations. Emericelactones F and G, 20R,25S-preshamixanthone, 20R,25R-preshamixanthone, phthalimidinic acid A, phthalimidinic acid B, aspergilol G, and 2-hydroxyemodic amide are eight previously undescribed compounds and (S)-2-(5-hydroxymethyl-2-formylpyrrol-1-yl) propionic acid lactone is reported from a natural resource for the first time. It is also the first report of the configurations of 25S-O-methylarugosin A, 25R-O-methylarugosin A, 5R-(+)-9-hydroxymicroperfuranone, and 5R-(+)-microperfuranone. Phthalimidinic acid A, phthalimidinic acid B, aspergilol G, and 2-hydroxyemodic amide have antifungal activity against Candida albicans with MIC values of 1.56, 3.12, 1.56, and 12.5 μg/mL, respectively, 20R,25S-preshamixanthone (MIC 25 μg/mL) shows antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, and 20R,25R-preshamixanthone exhibits antimicrobial activity against all three tested pathogens of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, and C. albicans with MIC values of 50, 25, 25 μg/mL, respectively.

[PMID: 39057430 PMCID: PMC11277891 DOI: 10.3390/md22070321] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2024] [Revised: 07/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Nitrogen heterocycles have drawn considerable attention because of their structurally novel and significant biological activities. Marine-derived fungi, especially the Aspergillus species, possess unique metabolic pathways to produce secondary metabolites with novel structures and potent biological activities. This review prioritizes the structural diversity and biological activities of nitrogen heterocycles that are produced by marine-derived Aspergillus species from January 2019 to January 2024, and their relevant biological activities. A total of 306 new nitrogen heterocycles, including seven major categories-indole alkaloids, diketopiperazine alkaloids, quinazoline alkaloids, isoquinoline alkaloids pyrrolidine alkaloids, cyclopeptide alkaloids, and other heterocyclic alkaloids-are presented in this review. Among these nitrogen heterocycles, 52 compounds had novel skeleton structures. Remarkably, 103 compounds showed various biological activities, such as cytotoxic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, anti-virus, and enzyme-inhibitory activities, and 21 compounds showed potent activities. This paper will guide further investigations into the structural diversity and biological activities of nitrogen heterocycles derived from the Aspergillus species and their potential contributions to the future development of new natural drug products in the medicinal and agricultural fields.

Abstract
The oceans are rich in diverse microorganisms, animals, and plants. This vast biological complexity is a major source of unique secondary metabolites. In particular, marine fungi are a promising source of compounds with unique structures and potent antibacterial properties. Over the last decade, substantial progress has been made to identify these valuable antibacterial agents. This review summarizes the chemical structures and antibacterial activities of 223 compounds identified between 2012 and 2023. These compounds, effective against various bacteria including drug-resistant strains such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, exhibit strong potential as antibacterial therapeutics. The review also highlights the relevant challenges in transitioning from drug discovery to product commercialization. Emerging technologies such as metagenomics and synthetic biology are proposed as viable solutions. This paper sets the stage for further research on antibacterial compounds derived from marine fungi and advocates a multidisciplinary approach to combat drug-resistant bacteria.

[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.

[PMID: 38276652 PMCID: PMC10817416 DOI: 10.3390/md22010050] [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: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Five new cembrane-type diterpenes, lobocalines A-E (1-5), and four new steroids, lobocaloids A-D (9-12), along with six known related compounds (6-8 and 13-15) were isolated from the Yalong Bay soft coral Lobophytum catalai Tixier-Durivault. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis, NMR calculation with DP4+ analysis, time-dependent density functional theory-electronic circular dichroism (TDDFT-ECD) calculations, X-ray diffraction analyses and comparison with the reported spectroscopic data of known compounds. Further, with the aid of X-ray diffraction analysis, the structure of lobocrasol B (15) was firmly revised as 15a. In in vitro bioassays, compound 2 showed moderate antibacterial activities against fish pathogenic bacteria Streptococcus parauberis KSP28 and Phoyobacterium damselae FP2244 with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 8.7 and 17.3 µg/mL, respectively. All the steroids exhibited antibacterial activities against the S. parauberis KSP28 with MIC values ranging from 12.3 to 53.6 µg/mL. Compounds 2, 7 and 14 have remarkable inhibitory effects on the hemolysin production of Staphylococcus aureus, while compounds 8-12 have medium inhibitory effects on the pyocyanin production in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
