PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2024; 222:114078. [PMID: 38574958 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2024.114078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/30/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024]
Abstract
Six undescribed infrequent eremophilane derivatives including diaportheremopholins A - F and its previously undescribed side chain (E)-2-methyloct-2-enoic acid, together with three known compounds (testacein, xestodecalactones B and C), were isolated from the endophytic fungus Diaporthe sp. BCC69512. The chemical structures were determined based on NMR spectroscopic information in conjunction with the evidence from NOESY spectrum, Mosher's application, and chemical reactions for corroborating the absolute configurations. The isolated compounds were evaluated for biological properties such as antimalarial, anti-TB, anti-phytopathogenic fungal, antibacterial activities and for cytotoxicity against malignant (MCF-7 and NCI-H187) and non-malignant (Vero) cells. Diaportheremopholins B (2) and E (5) possessed broad antimicrobial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Bacillus cereus, Alternaria brassicicola and Colletotrichum acutatum with MICs in a range of 25.0-50.0 μg/mL. Testacein (7) exhibited strong anti-A. brassicicola and anti-C. acutatum activities with equal MIC values of 3.13 μg/mL. Moreover, diaportheremopholin F (6) and compound 8 displayed antitubercular activity with equal MIC values of 50.0 μg/mL. All tested compounds were non-cytotoxic against MCF-7, NCI-H187, and Vero cells, except those compounds 2 and 5-7 exhibited weak cytotoxicity against both malignant and non-malignant cells with IC50 values in a range of 15.5-115.5 μM.

Abstract
Twelve new austalide meroterpenoids (1-12) were isolated from the endophytic fungus Diaporthe sp. XC1211. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis. The absolute configurations of compounds 1, 3, 4, and 6 were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, whereas those for the others were established by experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) data analysis. Compounds 1-12 represent a rare class of austalides with a 24α-CH3. Compounds 2 and 5 demonstrated potent proliferation inhibitory effects against LPS-induced B cells with IC50 values of 6.7 (SI = 3.6) and 3.8 (SI > 13) μM, respectively. Compounds 2 and 5 decreased the secretion of IL-6 in LPS-induced B cells in a dose-dependent manner.

Abstract
Plant-derived biocompounds play a crucial role in the field of renewable materials due to their sustainability as they can be converted into monomers for polymerization, comparable to numerous monomers obtained from petroleum. In this work, betulin, a triterpene derivative with antibacterial properties obtained from birch tree bark, was esterified to produce two varieties of α,ω-diene derivatives with different lengths of methylene spacers. These derivatives were then copolymerized with 2,2'-(ethylenedioxy)diethanethiol using thiol-ene photopolymerization. We optimized and confirmed the polymerization parameters such as solvents, catalysts, and monomer concentrations. These analyses allowed for the obtainment of polysulfides with a high molar mass of up to 38.9 kg/mol under the optimized conditions. Furthermore, the polysulfides were converted into polysulfoxides by using a dilute hydrogen peroxide solution. Thermal analysis of the obtained polymers revealed excellent thermal stability (up to 300 °C) and tunable glass transition temperatures depending on their molar mass and composition. We successfully produced fibers with a diameter of approximately 3.9 μm by using the electrospinning technique. The morphology and hydrophobicity of the fibers were analyzed by using scanning electron microscopy and water contact angle analysis. Plant-derived polymeric fibers exhibited good cellular biocompatibility and broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, making them promising candidates for applications in fruit preservation.

Abstract
Soil health and root-associated microbiome are interconnected factors involved in plant health. The use of manure amendment on agricultural fields exerts a direct benefit on soil nutrient content and water retention, among others. However, little is known about the impact of manure amendment on the root-associated microbiome, particularly in woody species. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of ovine manure on the microbial communities of the olive rhizosphere and root endosphere. Two adjacent orchards subjected to conventional (CM) and organic (OM) management were selected. We used metabarcoding sequencing to assess the bacterial and fungal communities. Our results point out a clear effect of manure amendment on the microbial community. Fungal richness and diversity were increased in the rhizosphere. The fungal biomass in the rhizosphere was more than doubled, ranging from 1.72 × 106 ± 1.62 × 105 (CM) to 4.54 × 106 ± 8.07 × 105 (OM) copies of the 18 S rRNA gene g-1 soil. Soil nutrient content was also enhanced in the OM orchard. Specifically, oxidable organic matter, total nitrogen, nitrate, phosphorous, potassium and sulfate concentrations were significantly increased in the OM orchard. Moreover, we predicted a higher abundance of bacteria in OM with metabolic functions involved in pollutant degradation and defence against pathogens. Lastly, microbial co-occurrence network showed more positive interactions, complexity and shorter geodesic distance in the OM orchard. According to our results, manure amendment on olive orchards represents a promising tool for positively modulating the microbial community in direct contact with the plant.

Abstract
Eleven new pyridone alkaloids, penicipyridones A-K (1-11), and three new tetramic acids, tolypocladenols D-F (12-14), were isolated from rice media cultures of the marine-derived fungus Penicillium oxalicum QDU1. Their structures, including absolute configurations, were determined by comprehensive analyses of spectroscopic data, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Interestingly, several of the penicipyridones undergo interconversions between hydroxy and methoxy groups at C-4 in acidic MeOH solution. Furthermore, in an acidic aqueous solution, OH-4 could be replaced by diverse substituent groups. Compounds 1, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, and 14 exhibited moderate inhibitory effects on NO production in the LPS-induced RAW264.7 macrophages, with IC50 values ranging from 9.2 to 19 μM.

Abstract
Diaporthe species produce versatile secondary metabolites (SMs), including terpenoids, fatty acids, polyketides, steroids, and alkaloids. These structurally diverse SMs exhibit a wide range of biological activities, including cytotoxic, antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and phytotoxic activities, which could be exploited in the medical, agricultural, and other modern industries. This review comprehensively covers the production and biological potencies of isolated natural products from the genus Diaporthe associated with terrestrial and marine origins. A total of 275 SMs have been summarized from terrestrial (153; 55%) and marine (110; 41%) origins during the last twelve years, and 12 (4%) compounds are common to both environments. All secondary metabolites are categorized predominantly on the basis of their bioactivities (cytotoxic, antibacterial, antifungal, and miscellaneous activity). Overall, 134 bioactive compounds were isolated from terrestrial (92; 55%) and marine (42; 34%) origins, but about half the compounds did not report any kind of activity. The antiSMASH results suggested that Diaporthe strains are capable of encoding a wide range of SMs and have tremendous biosynthetic potential for new SMs. This study will be useful for future research on drug discovery from terrestrial and marine natural products.

Abstract
Throughout the ages the world has witnessed the outbreak of many infectious diseases. Emerging microbial diseases pose a serious threat to public health. Increasing resistance of microorganisms towards the existing drugs makes them ineffective. In fact, anti-microbial resistance is declared as one of the top public health threats by WHO. Hence, there is an urge for the discovery of novel antimicrobial drugs to combat with this challenge. Structural diversity and unique pharmacological effects make natural products a prime source of novel drugs. Staggeringly, in spite of its extensive biodiversity, a prominent portion of microorganism species remains unexplored for the identification of bioactives. Microorganisms are a predominant source of new chemical entities and there are remarkable number of antimicrobial drugs developed from it. In this review, we discuss the contributions of microorganism based natural products as effective antibacterial agents, studied during the period of 2010-2020. The review encompasses over 140 structures which are either natural products or semi-synthetic derivatives of microbial natural products. 65 of them are identified as newly discovered natural products. All the compounds discussed herein, have exhibited promising efficacy against various bacterial strains.

Abstract
Four new chromone compounds diaporspchromanones A-C (1-3) and diaporspchromanone H (4), together with three known compounds (5-7) were separated from the marine derived fungus Diaporthe sp. XW12-1. The structures of the new compounds, including their absolute configurations, were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis and the Mosher's ester method. Among them, diaporspchromanones A-C (1-3) possess a 3-substituted-chroman-4-one skeleton, which are rarely found in natural sources. In the bioassays, all compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory activity against lipopolysaccharide-activated nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW264.7 cells. Compounds 2 and 3 showed potent anti-inflammatory effects than the positive control (indomethacin, IC50, 70.33 ± 0.95 μM) (p < 0.05) with IC50 values of 19.06 ± 3.60 and 9.56 ± 0.18 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Bacterial resistance has become one of the main motives in the worldwide race for undescribed antibacterial agents. The difficulties in the treatment of bacterial infections are a public health issue that increasingly highlights the need for antimicrobial agents. Endophytic microorganisms are a promising alternative in the search for drugs, due to the vast number of metabolites produced with unique characteristics and bioactive potential. This review highlights the importance of endophytic microorganisms as a source of secondary metabolites in the search for active molecules against bacteria of medical importance, with a special focus on gram-negative species. This fact is supported by the findings raised in this review, which brings an arsenal of 166 molecules with characterized chemical structures and their antibacterial activities. In addition, the low cost, ease of maintenance, and optimization-controlled fermentation conditions favor reproducibility in commercial scale. Given their importance, it is necessary to intensify the search for new molecules from endophytic microorganisms, and to increasingly invest in this very promising font.

Abstract
To explore valuable endophytic fungus from Formosan Lauraceous plants as natural medicinal products, the fungus, Diaporthe caulivora isolated from leaves of Neolitsea daibuensis, was investigated. Through a thorough investigation of the ethanolic extract of the solid fermentation of D. caulivora 09F0132, six undescribed alkyne-geranylcyclohexenetriols, caulivotrioloxins A-F, one undescribed trichopyrone, diapopyrone, two undescribed sesquiterpenes, caulibysins A-B, one compound firstly isolated from the natural source, 3-O-desmethyl phomentrioloxin, and eight known compounds have been successfully identified. The absolute configuration of caulibysin A was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and those of (3R,8S)-5,7-dihydroxy-3-(1-hydroxyethyl)phthalide and (3S,8S)-5,7-dihydroxy-3-(1-hydroxyethyl)phthalide were determined by circular dichroism (CD) spectra. Among the isolated compounds, caulivotrioloxin A concentration-dependently decreased the cellular melanin contents and tyrosinase activities in mouse melanoma B16-F10 cells, suggesting the anti-melanogenic potentials. The anti-melanogenic effects of caulivotrioloxin A involved the decrease in the protein expressions of melanogenic enzymes, including tyrosinase, tyrosinase-related protein (TRP)-1, and TRP-2. Taken together, these results suggested that the isolates from D. caulivora could be served as natural melanogenesis inhibitors for cosmeceutical applications.

Huang Z, Wang J, Yin C, Gui L, Zhang Y. First Report of Leaf Blight on Mahonia fortunei Caused by Botryosphaeria dothidea in China. PLANT DISEASE 2022; 107:558. [PMID: 35700517 DOI: 10.1094/pdis-03-22-0489-pdn] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Mahonia fortunei belongs to Berberidaceae, and is often used as a potted plant in Chinese tradition medicine (Li et al. 2015). In March 2019, leaf blight was observed on this species in the campus of Anhui Agricultural University (31°51'51″N; 117°15'31″E) in Hefei City, Anhui Province, China. The average disease incidence was 35% over 20 m2 planting area. Symptoms of the disease are easily apparent, with irregular, dark brown necrosis at the edge of the leaves. To identify the pathogen, symptomatic leaves were collected from three symptomatic leaves from three plants and cut into small pieces. Leaf pieces from the margin of the diseased tissues were surface sterilized for 1 min in 75% ethanol, rinsed three times with sterile distilled water, and subsequently, plated onto potato dextrose agar (PDA) and incubated in dark at 28°C for 4 days. The colonies of three isolates were obtained and appeared morphologically similar in agar media. The cultures were initially white, gradually becoming dark gray, and could grow to the edges of plates (90mm diameter) four days after subculturing. After 7 days on media, the colony was induced for sporulation by UV for 15min, and conidia were observed after 2 weeks. Conidia were nonseptate, hyaline, and oval, measuring 16.9 to 25.3 μm (mean 21.4 μm) × 5.0 to 8.4 μm (mean 6.8 μm) (n = 50). The isolate was identified as Botryosphaeria dothidea preliminarily according to the morphological characteristics (Zhai et al. 2014). For accurate identification, DNA was extracted from the mycelia. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS), β-tubulin (TUB) and Ef1-a were amplified and sequenced using primers ITS1/ITS4, Bt2a/Bt2b and 983f /2228r, respectively (Zhai et al. 2014). The 543-bp ITS (GenBank accession no. MK850215), 673-bp TUB (no. MN370930) and 1069-bp Ef1-a (no. MN598070) showed >99% identity with those of B. dothidea KP183180 (Xu et al. 2015), KU306116 (Lisboa et al. 2016) and DQ767637.1 (Schoch et al. 2006), respectively. Based on cultural characteristics and phylogenetic analysis, the current isolate associated with leaf blight of M. fortunei was identified as B. dothidea. The representative strain was deposited at the China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC) as CCTCC AF 2019004 SX03. Pathogenicity test was performed on three healthy M. fortunei on campus. Three branches of each plant were selected and all leaves on branches were wounded with dissecting needle by puncturing, then inoculated with a spore suspension (105 conidia/mL) by a hand-held spray bottle, using sterile water as control (Huang et al. 2019). In order to maintain high relative humidity, the inoculated leaves were sealed with transparent plastic bags for 3 days. Fourteen days after inoculation, symptoms (leaf blight) were similar to those on infected leaves on campus, while the controls remained healthy. The experiments were conducted three times and the pathogen was reisolated from inoculated leaves and was confirmed as B. dothidea based on morphological and molecular analyses. To our knowledge, this is the first report of B. dothidea causing marginal leaf necrosis on M. fortunei in China. This study provides a preliminary basis for identifying the causal agent of this plant disease.

Abstract
Plant endophytes have been considered as novel sources of naturally occurring compounds with various biological activities, including cytotoxic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, herbicides, antileishmanial and antioxidant. A variety of specialised products, comprising terpenoids, alkaloids, polyketides, phenolic compounds, coumarins, and quinone derivatives have been reported from various strains. An increasing number of products, especially terpenoids, are being isolated from endophytes. Herein, the isolated new terpenoids from plant endophytic fungi, their hosts, as well as biological activities, from January 2011 until the end of 2020 are reviewed. In this period, 516 terpenoids are classified into monoterpenes (5), sesquiterpenes (299), diterpenes (76), sesterterpens (22), meroterpenes (83), triterpenes (29), and other terpenoids (2), were isolated from different plant endophytic fungi species.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is becoming a burning issue due to the frequent use of antibiotics for curing common bacterial infections, indicating that we are running out of effective antibiotics. This has been more obvious during recent corona pandemics. Similarly, enhancement of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is strengthening the pathogenicity and virulence of infectious microbes. Endophytes have shown expression of various new many bioactive compounds with significant biological activities. Specifically, in endophytic fungi, bioactive metabolites with unique skeletons have been identified which could be helpful in the prevention of increasing antimicrobial resistance. The major classes of metabolites reported include anthraquinone, sesquiterpenoid, chromone, xanthone, phenols, quinones, quinolone, piperazine, coumarins and cyclic peptides. In the present review, we reported 451 bioactive metabolites isolated from various groups of endophytic fungi from January 2015 to April 2021 along with their antibacterial profiling, chemical structures and mode of action. In addition, we also discussed various methods including epigenetic modifications, co-culture, and OSMAC to induce silent gene clusters for the production of noble bioactive compounds in endophytic fungi.

Diversity, Chemical Constituents, and Biological Activities of Endophytic Fungi Isolated From Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort. Front Microbiol 2021; 12:771000. [PMID: 34867905 PMCID: PMC8636053 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.771000] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2021] [Accepted: 10/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the diversity of endophytic fungi of different parts of Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort (CX) and further characterize their biological activities and identify chemical compounds produced by these endophytic fungi. A total of 21 endophytic fungi were isolated and identified from CX. Penicillium oxalicum, Simplicillium sp., and Colletotrichum sp. were identified as promising strains by the color reaction. Comparing different organic extracts of the three strains, it was observed that the ethyl acetate extract of Penicillium oxalicum and Simplicillium sp. and the n-butanol extract of Colletotrichum sp. showed significant antioxidant and antibacterial activities. The ethyl acetate extracts of Penicillium oxalicum had outstanding antioxidant and antibacterial effects, and its radical scavenging rates for ABTS and DPPH were 98.43 ± 0.006% and 90.11 ± 0.032%, respectively. At the same time, their IC50 values were only 0.18 ± 0.02 mg/mL and 0.04 ± 0.003 mg/mL. The ethyl acetate extract of Penicillium oxalicum showed MIC value of only 0.5 mg/mL against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. By liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), we found that Penicillium oxalicum could produce many high-value polyphenols, such as hesperidin (36.06 μmol/g), ferulic acid (1.17 μmol/g), and alternariol (12.64 μmol/g), which can be a potential resource for the pharmaceutical industry. In conclusion, these results increase the diversity of CX endophytic fungi and the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of their secondary metabolites.

Abstract
Plants and associated microorganisms are essential sources of natural products against human cancer diseases, partly exemplified by plant-derived anticancer drugs such as Taxol (paclitaxel). Natural products provide diverse mechanisms of action and can be used directly or as prodrugs for further anticancer optimization. Despite the success, major bottlenecks can delay anticancer lead discovery and implementation. Recent advances in sequencing and omics-related technology have provided a mine of information for developing new therapeutics from natural products. Artificial intelligence (AI), including machine learning (ML), has offered powerful techniques for extensive data analysis and prediction-making in anticancer leads discovery. This review presents an overview of current AI-guided solutions to discover anticancer lead compounds, focusing on natural products from plants and associated microorganisms.

Abstract
Among microorganisms, endophytic fungi are the least studied, but they have attracted attention due to their high biological diversity and ability to produce novel and bioactive secondary metabolites to protect their host plant against biotic and abiotic stress. These compounds belong to different structural classes, such as alkaloids, peptides, terpenoids, polyketides, and steroids, which could present significant biological activities that are useful for pharmacological or medical applications. Recent reviews on endophytic fungi have mainly focused on the production of novel bioactive compounds. Here, we focus on compounds produced by endophytic fungi, reported with uncommon bioactive structures, establishing the neighbor net and diversity of endophytic fungi. The review includes compounds published from January 2015 to December 2020 that were catalogued as unprecedented, rare, uncommon, or possessing novel structural skeletons from more than 39 different genera, with Aspergillus and Penicillium being the most mentioned. They were reported as displaying cytotoxic, antitumor, antimicrobial, antiviral, or anti-inflammatory activity. The solid culture, using rice as a carbon source, was the most common medium utilized in the fermentation process when this type of compound was isolated.

Abstract
Cucurbitacin IIa was first found in plants and it belongs to tetracyclo triterpenoids. It is one of the most important active components in cucurbitaceae plants. Studies have found that cucurbitacin IIa has a variety of pharmacological effects, such as antitumor, antiinflammatory, antibacterial, antihepatitis B virus, inhibition of human immunodeficiency virus replication, and antidepressant effect. However, the underlying mechanisms, intracellular targets, and structure-activity relationships of cucurbitacin IIa remain to be completely elucidated. This review summarizes the current advances concerning the phytochemistry and pharmacology of cucurbitacin IIa. Electronic databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and CNKI were used to find relevant information about cucurbitacin IIa using keywords such as "Cucurbitacin IIa," "Pharmacology," and "Phytochemistry." These pharmacological effects involve the actin cytoskeleton aggregation, the regulation of JAK2/STAT3, ERBB-MAPK, CaMKII α/CREB/BDNF signal pathways, as well as the regulation of survivin, caspases, and other cell cycles, apoptosis, autophagy-related cytokines, and kinases. It has high development and use value.

Abstract
Cancer is a collective name for a variety of diseases that can begin in virtually every organ or body tissue as abnormal cells develop uncontrollably and ten million new cancer cases are diagnosed all over the world at present. Whereas HIV is a virus that makes people susceptible to infection and contributes to the condition of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Almost 37 million people are currently diagnosed with HIV and 1 million people die every year, which is the worst-case scenario. Potential medicinal compounds have played a crucial role in the production of certain clinically beneficial novel anti-cancer and anti-HIV agents that are produced from natural sources especially from plants. These include Taxol, Vinblastine, Podophyllotoxin, Betulinic acid, Camptothecin, and Vincristine, etc. In the past decades, bioactive compounds were extracted directly from the plant sources which was more time consuming, led to low yield productivity, high cost, and bad impact on biodiversity. Endophytes, the microorganisms that reside inside the host plant by not causing any kind of harm to them and have potential applications in agriculture, medicine, pollution, and food industries. Therefore, by isolating and characterizing novel endophytes from medicinal plants and extracting their secondary metabolites to produce useful bioactive compounds can be beneficial for well-being and society as a future therapeutics. This approach is not harmful to biodiversity economical, timesaving, low cost, and can lead to the discovery of various industrial and commercially important novel anti-tumor and anti-HIV agents in the future. The Himalayas are home to several medicinal plants and the endophytic microbial biodiversity of the Himalayan region is also not much explored yet. However, the effect of compounds from these endophytes on anticancer and antiviral activity, especially anti-HIV has been largely unexplored. Hence, the present review is designed to the exploration of endophytic microbial diversity that can give rise to the discovery of various novel potential industrially valuable bioactive compounds that can lessen the rate of such type of pandemic diseases in the future by providing low-cost future therapeutics in future.

Abstract
The genus Diaporthe and its anamorph Phomopsis are distributed worldwide in many ecosystems. They are regarded as potential sources for producing diverse bioactive metabolites. Most species are attributed to plant pathogens, non-pathogenic endophytes, or saprobes in terrestrial host plants. They colonize in the early parasitic tissue of plants, provide a variety of nutrients in the cycle of parasitism and saprophytism, and participate in the basic metabolic process of plants. In the past ten years, many studies have been focused on the discovery of new species and biological secondary metabolites from this genus. In this review, we summarize a total of 335 bioactive secondary metabolites isolated from 26 known species and various unidentified species of Diaporthe and Phomopsis during 2010-2019. Overall, there are 106 bioactive compounds derived from Diaporthe and 246 from Phomopsis, while 17 compounds are found in both of them. They are classified into polyketides, terpenoids, steroids, macrolides, ten-membered lactones, alkaloids, flavonoids, and fatty acids. Polyketides constitute the main chemical population, accounting for 64%. Meanwhile, their bioactivities mainly involve cytotoxic, antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-algae, phytotoxic, and enzyme inhibitory activities. Diaporthe and Phomopsis exhibit their potent talents in the discovery of small molecules for drug candidates.

Abstract
Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi is a medicinal plant widely used for the treatment of various diseases. The secondary metabolites responsible for the pharmacological properties can be produced directly by the plant or by endophytic fungi. The objective of this study was to evaluate the diversity of endophytic fungi of different parts of S. terebinthifolius and to identify chemical compounds produced by endophytes and their antioxidant and antibacterial activities. For this, fruits, stem bark and roots were dried, ground and placed in fungal growth medium. The selected endophytes were grown and subjected to extraction with ethyl acetate. DPPH, FRAP, β-carotene bleaching and antimicrobial assays were performed. The phylogenetic tree was elaborated, encompassing 15 different species. The fungal extracts showed hydroxybenzoic acids and 1-dodecanol as predominant compounds. All fungal extracts exhibited antioxidant activity. The fungal extracts exhibited bactericidal and bacteriostatic activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial ATCC strains and against methicillin-resistant nosocomial bacteria. Among the 10 endophytic fungi evaluated, the extract of the fungus Ochrocladosporium elatum showed higher phenolic content and exhibited higher antioxidant and antibacterial activities in all tests. Together, the results increase the known diversity of S. terebinthifolius endophytic fungi, secondary metabolites produced and their antioxidant and antibacterial activities.

Abstract
Background:
Endophytes represent a complex community of microorganisms colonizing
asymptomatically internal tissues of higher plants. Several reports have shown that endophytes enhance
the fitness of their host plants by direct production of bioactive secondary metabolites, which are involved
in protecting the host against herbivores and pathogenic microbes. In addition, it is increasingly
apparent that endophytes are able to biosynthesize medicinally important “phytochemicals”, originally
believed to be produced only by their host plants.
Objective:
The present review provides an overview of secondary metabolites from endophytic fungi
with pronounced biological activities covering the literature between 2010 and 2017. Special focus is
given on studies aiming at exploration of the mode of action of these metabolites towards the discovery
of leads from endophytic fungi. Moreover, this review critically evaluates the potential of endophytic
fungi as alternative sources of bioactive “plant metabolites”.
Results:
Over the past few years, several promising lead structures from endophytic fungi have been
described in the literature. In this review, 65 metabolites are outlined with pronounced biological activities,
primarily as antimicrobial and cytotoxic agents. Some of these metabolites have shown to be
highly selective or to possess novel mechanisms of action, which hold great promises as potential drug
candidates.
Conclusion:
Endophytes represent an inexhaustible reservoir of pharmacologically important compounds.
Moreover, endophytic fungi could be exploited for the sustainable production of bioactive
“plant metabolites” in the future. Towards this aim, further insights into the dynamic endophyte - host
plant interactions and origin of endophytic fungal genes would be of utmost importance.

Abstract
Endophytic fungi have been highlight in the production of secondary metabolites with different bioactive properties, such as in the production of the antioxidant compounds. Therefore, the objective of this work was the extraction of the antioxidant compounds from the biomass of Diaporthe schini using supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) without and with ethanol as cosolvent. The biomass was produced by submerged fermentation and the parameters evaluated in the extraction process were: pressure (150-250 bar), temperature (40-60 ºC) and cosolvent [biomass: cosolvent ratio, 1:0, 1:0.75 and 1:1.5 (w/v)]. Extraction yield, antioxidant activity and chemical composition of the extracts were determined. The highest extraction yield (3.24 wt.%) and the best antioxidant activity against the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical (96.62%) were obtained at 40 ºC, 250 bar and biomass:cosolvent ratio of 1:1.5 (w/v). The chemical compounds 1,4-diaza-2,5-dioxo-3-isobutyl bicyclo[4.3.0]nonane and benzeneethanol identified in GC/MS could be responsible for the antioxidant activity found in this study.

Abstract
A new ergosterol derivative, 23R-hydroxy-(20Z,24R)-ergosta-4,6,8(14),20(22)-tetraen-3-one (1), and a biosynthetically related known compound, (22E,24R)-ergosta-4,6,8(14),22-tetraen-3-one (2), were isolated from the co-culture between endophytic fungus Pleosporales sp. F46 and endophytic bacterium Bacillus wiedmannii Com1 both inhibiting in the medicinal plant Mahonia fortunei. The structure of the new compound 1 was determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis using HRMS and NMR, together with the modified Mosher's ester method. This is the first example of isolation of a ergosterol derivative with a Δ20(22)-double bond in the side chain. Compound 1 exhibited moderate antibacterial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus and no obvious cytotoxic activities against the cancer cell lines A549, MDA-MB-231 and Hct116. Our results not only reveal that compound 1 is a potent antibacterial lead compound, but also highlight the powder of co-cultivation for inducing the production of cryptic natural products from endophytes derived from the same host plant.

Włodarczyk M, Szumny A, Gleńsk M. Lanostane-Type Saponins from Vitaliana primuliflora. Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24081606. [PMID: 31018589 PMCID: PMC6515439 DOI: 10.3390/molecules24081606] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2019] [Revised: 04/20/2019] [Accepted: 04/22/2019] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The phytochemistry of the genera Androsace, Cortusa, Soldanella, and Vitaliana, belonging to the Primulaceae family is not well studied so far. Hence, in this paper, we present the results of UHPLC-MS/MS analysis of several primrose family members as well as isolation and structure determination of two new saponins from Vitaliana primuliflora subsp. praetutiana. These two nor-triterpenoid saponins were characterized as (23S)-17α,23-epoxy-29-hydroxy-3β-[(O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-α-l-arabinopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-d-glucopyranosyl)oxy]-27-nor-lanost-8-en-25-one and (23S)-17α,23-epoxy-29-hydroxy-3β-[(O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-α-l-arabinopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-d-glucopyranosyl)oxy]-27-nor-lanost-8-en-25-one, respectively. Their structures were determined by high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1D-, and 2D-NMR) analyses. So far, the 27-nor-lanostane monodesmosides were rarely found in dicotyledon plants. Therefore their presence in Vitaliana and also in Androsace species belonging to the Aretia section is unique and reported here for the first time. Additionally, eleven other saponins were determined by HRMS and MS/MS spectra. The isolated lanostane saponins can be considered as chemotaxonomic markers of the family Primulaceae.

Abstract
Five new chromone-derived polyketides phaseolorins A-F (1–5), together with nine known compounds, were isolated from the deep-sea derived fungus Diaporthe phaseolorum FS431. The structures of new compounds were determined by analysis of their NMR and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (HRESIMS) spectroscopic data. The absolute configurations were confirmed by chemical transformations, extensively experimental electron capture detection (ECD) calculations, or X-ray crystallography. Among them, compound 2 represented the first example for a new family of chromone derivative possessing an unprecedented recombined five-member γ-lactone ring. Moreover, the new compounds (1–5) were evaluated for in vitro cytotoxic activities against a panel of human cancer cell lines.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine whether endophytic fungi, isolated from Kadsura angustifolia produce nigranoic acid and its highly oxygenated derivatives. From the 426 endophytic fungi screened, Trichoderma harzianum SWUKD3.1610 was detected to have a component with the same TLC R f value and HPLC retention time as authentic nigranoic acid. This component was further confirmed as nigranoic acid by investigating the chemical composition of the fungal extracts. Besides (1), one new triterpenoid, 7β- schinalactone C (2), and two known minor compounds were isolated and characterized by HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic methods. Our study indicates that endophytic fungus may play an important role in increasing the quality of the crude drugs from Chinese medicinal plant K. angustifolia. This study is the first to isolate, characterize, and identify schitriterpenes-producing Trichoderma spp.

Abstract
The present review describes the distribution and biological activities of natural mono-, di-, and triaromatic steroids. It is shown that the producers of aromatic steroids are microorganisms, fungi, and marine invertebrates, and also they were found in plants, animals, marine sediments, and karst deposits. Eighty biologically active aromatic steroids likely have an anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotection activity with a confidence of 78 to 92%. The structures and predicted biological activities of aromatic steroids are available. This review emphasizes the role of aromatic steroids as an important source and potential leads for drug discovery and they are of great interest to chemists, physicians, biologists, pharmacologists, and the pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
Endophytes are fungi and bacteria that inhabit plant tissues without causing disease. Endophytes have characteristics that are important for the health of the plant and have been isolated from several plants of economic and medicinal interest but rarely from ornamental plants. The current study isolates and identifies endophytic fungi from the leaves of Pachystachys lutea and evaluates the antagonistic activity of these endophytes as well as cellulase production by the endophytes. Fungi were isolated by fragmentation from surface-disinfected leaves and were identified by the sequencing of the ITS gene and the genes coding for EF 1-α and β-tubulin followed by multilocus sequence analysis. Molecular taxonomic analysis revealed that 78% of the identified fungi belonged to the genus Diaporthe. We also identified strains belonging to the genera Colletotrichum, Phyllosticta, Xylaria, Nemania, and Alternaria. Most of the strains tested were able to inhibit the growth of pathogenic fungi, especially PL09 (Diaporthe sp.), which inhibited the growth of Colletotrichum sp., and PL03 (Diaporthe sp.), which inhibited the growth of Fusarium oxysporum. The production of cellulase ranged from 0.87 to 1.60 μmol/min. Foliar endophytic fungal isolates from P. lutea showed promising results for the in vitro control of plant pathogens and for cellulase production. This paper is the first report on culturable endophytic fungi isolated from the ornamental plant P. lutea.

Antibacterial and Antioxidant Metabolites of Diaporthe spp. Isolated from Flowers of Melodorum fruticosum. Curr Microbiol 2017; 75:476-483.

Abstract
Fifty-two strains of endophytic fungi were isolated from flowers of the medicinal plant Melodorum fruticosum. Seven genera were identified including Alternaria, Aspergillus, Colletotrichum, Diaporthe, Fusarium, Greeneria and Nigrospora. All strains were cultured for 30 days and further macerated in ethyl acetate solvent for 3 days. The obtained fungal extracts were examined for antibacterial activity using agar disc diffusion against nine pathogenic bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, B. cereus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Shigella flexneri, Vibrio cholerae and V. parahaemolyticus. Forty-three fungal extracts exhibited antibacterial activity against at least one tested pathogen. The antioxidant properties of all extracts were also investigated by DPPH scavenging assay. Sixteen extracts displayed high antioxidant capacity (IC50 ranging from 10 to 50 µg/mL) when compared to the gallic acid and trolox standards (IC50 of 12.46 and 2.55 µg/mL, respectively). The crude extracts of Diaporthe sp. MFLUCC16-0682 and Diaporthe sp. MFLUCC16-0693 exhibited notable antibacterial and antioxidant activities. Analysis of chemical composition using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry suggested that the observed antibacterial activity of the two Diaporthe spp. was possibly due to the presence of abienol, 4-methoxy stilbene, phenethyl cinnamate and 2Z,6Z-farnesal, while their potential antioxidant activity could be attributed to phenolic compounds, such as benzene acetaldehyde, benzyl benzoate, salicylaldehyde, benzoin and benzyl cinnamate. The results suggest that the genus Diaporthe is a potential source of metabolites that can be used in a variety of applications.

Abstract
Chemical examination of Chinese mangrove Rhizophora mucronata endophytic Pestalotiopsis sp., yielded 11 known metabolites with various structure types, including demethylincisterol A3 (1), dankasterone B (2), (22E, 24R)-ergosta-7,9(11), 22-triene-3β, 5α, 6α-triol (3), ergosta-5,7,22-trien-3-ol (4), 5, 8-epidioxy-5, 8-ergosta-6, 22E-dien-3-ol (5), stigmastan-3-one (6), stigmast-4-en-3-one (7), stigmast-4-en-6 -ol-3-one (8), flufuran (9), (2-cis, 4-trans)-abscisic acid (10), similanpyrone B (11). Their structures were unambiguously elucidated on the basis of extensive NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometric analyses. Compounds 1, 4, 6-9 showed significant in vitro cytotoxicity against the human cancer cell lines Hela, A549 and HepG, of which compound 1 was the most potential with IC50 values reaching nM degree ranging from 0.17 to 14.16 nM. Flow cytometric investigation demonstrated that compound 1 mainly inhibited cell cycle at G0/G1 phase in a dose-dependent manner with a significant induction of apoptosis on the three tested cell lines. The involvement of the mitochondria in compound 1 induced apoptosis was investigated using MMP. We suggested that R. mucronata endophytic Pestalotiopsis sp. contained a potential anticancer compound demethylincisterol A3.

Abstract
Natural product libraries contain specialized metabolites derived from plants, animals, and microorganisms that play a pivotal role in drug discovery due to their immense structural diversity and wide variety of biological activities. The strategies to greatly extend natural product scaffolds through available biological and chemical approaches offer unique opportunities to access a new series of natural product analogues, enabling the construction of diverse natural product-like libraries. The affordability of these structurally diverse molecules has been a crucial step in accelerating drug discovery. This review provides an overview of various approaches to exploit the diversity of compounds for natural product-based drug development, drawing upon a series of examples to illustrate each strategy.

Abstract
Covering: 2010 up to 2017Life on Earth is characterized by a remarkable abundance of symbiotic and highly refined relationships among life forms. Defined as any kind of close, long-term association between two organisms, symbioses can be mutualistic, commensalistic or parasitic. Historically speaking, selective pressures have shaped symbioses in which one organism (typically a bacterium or fungus) generates bioactive small molecules that impact the host (and possibly other symbionts); the symbiosis is driven fundamentally by the genetic machineries available to the small molecule producer. The human microbiome is now integral to the most recent chapter in animal-microbe symbiosis studies and plant-microbe symbioses have significantly advanced our understanding of natural products biosynthesis; this also is the case for studies of fungal-microbe symbioses. However, much less is known about microbe-microbe systems involving interspecies interactions. Microbe-derived small molecules (i.e. antibiotics and quorum sensing molecules, etc.) have been shown to regulate transcription in microbes within the same environmental niche, suggesting interspecies interactions whereas, intraspecies interactions, such as those that exploit autoinducing small molecules, also modulate gene expression based on environmental cues. We, and others, contend that symbioses provide almost unlimited opportunities for the discovery of new bioactive compounds whose activities and applications have been evolutionarily optimized. Particularly intriguing is the possibility that environmental effectors can guide laboratory expression of secondary metabolites from "orphan", or silent, biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). Notably, many of the studies summarized here result from advances in "omics" technologies and highlight how symbioses have given rise to new anti-bacterial and antifungal natural products now being discovered.
