Abstract
Covering: up to the end of 2023Natural nitriles comprise a small set of secondary metabolites which however show intriguing chemical and functional diversity. Various patterns of nitrile biosynthesis can be seen in animals, plants, and microorganisms with the characteristics of both evolutionary divergence and convergence. These specialized compounds play important roles in nitrogen metabolism, chemical defense against herbivores, predators and pathogens, and inter- and/or intraspecies communications. Here we review the naturally occurring nitrile-forming pathways from a biochemical perspective and discuss the biological and ecological functions conferred by diversified nitrile biosyntheses in different organisms. Elucidation of the mechanisms and evolutionary trajectories of nitrile biosynthesis underpins better understandings of nitrile-related biology, chemistry, and ecology and will ultimately benefit the development of desirable nitrile-forming biocatalysts for practical applications.

Abstract
Auranthine, isolated in 1986 from Penicillium aurantiogriseum, is a fungal benzodiazepine. Through the successful total synthesis of (±)-auranthine, we confirmed the refined structure of natural (-)-auranthine. We established that natural (-)-auranthine is a fused quinazolino benzodiazepine dione 1 featuring an acyclic aliphatic nitrile moiety, thereby disproving the proposed structure 2.

Abstract
PhI(OAc)2-mediated ring expansion via 1,2-bond migration and concurrent solvent insertion generate hydroxylated polycyclic pyrrolo/indolo[1,2-a]quinoxaline-fused lactam derivatives in a highly diastereoselective fashion from spiro-fused quinoxalines in good-to-excellent yield. X-ray crystal structure analysis reveals that the polycyclic lactams are nonplanar molecules devoid of any symmetry as they possess one or two axially chiral biaryl or N-arylindolyl bridges along with one chiral center at the bridgehead carbon.

Abstract
The importance of nitriles as a key class of chemicals with applications across the sciences is widely appreciated. The natural world is an underappreciated source of chemically diverse nitriles. With this in mind, this review describes novel nitrile-containing molecules isolated from natural sources from 1998 to 2021, as well as a discussion of the biological activity of these compounds. This study gathers 192 molecules from varied origins across the plant, animal, and microbial worlds. Their biological activity is extremely diverse, with many potential medicinal applications.

Renal Apoptosis in the Mycotoxicology of Penicillium polonicum and Ochratoxin A in Rats. Life (Basel) 2022; 12:life12030352.

Abstract
Penicillium polonicum K. M. Zaleski, which is common on foodstuffs in Balkan regions that are notable for their history of endemic nephropathy, has been shown experimentally to cause a striking histopathological renal change in rats that are given feed contaminated by this fungus. The nephrotoxic agent(s) are only partially characterized. The principal change seen in the cortico-medullary region is karyocytomegaly, but apoptosis, identified with the ApopTag® methodology, is the first response to a dietary extract of P. polonicum-molded wheat after a few days of exposure. Chromatin debris migrates along the nephrons into the medulla, but whether the damaged epithelial fate is via autophagy is unclear. In intermittent exposure experiments, renal apoptosis was resolved with the cessation of exposure and was restored with renewed exposure. Apoptosis became less evident after 3 months of chronic exposure. In contrast, a relatively high dose of dietary ochratoxin A, a potent nephrocarcinogen in male rats after many months of dietary exposure, gave no evidence of apoptosis in asymptomatic weanlings over a few days of dietary exposure. This was attributed to a masking effect by concomitant marked histological disruption in renal tissue. However, in young adults, renal apoptosis was a primary outcome of dietary exposure to either the P. polonicum extract or to ochratoxin A, but the histopathological response to the former was less distorted. The apparent conflicted use in the literature of P. polonicum as a descriptor is highlighted.

Abstract
Herein, a one-pot protocol to synthesize tetracyclic triazole-piperazine-quinazolinone-fused N-heterocyclic scaffolds is reported. In this strategy, a tandem approach of two highly efficient synthetic reactions, click and cross-dehydrogentive coupling reactions, with high atom economy were employed to obtain the target N-fused scaffolds. Being highly functional group tolerable, this method has broad substrate scope. Interestingly, some of these derivatives showed strong white solid-state fluorescence.

Abstract
Marine fungi of the genus Penicillium are rich resources of secondary metabolites, showing a variety of biological activities. Our anti-bacterial screening revealed that the crude extract from a coral-derived fungus Penicillium steckii P2648 showed strong activity against some pathogenic bacteria. Genome sequencing and mining uncovered that there are 28 secondary metabolite gene clusters in P2648, potentially involved in the biosynthesis of antibacterial compounds. Chemical isolation and structural determination suggested citrinin is the dominant component of the crude extracts of P2648, and our further tests confirmed that citrinin showed excellent activities against various pathogenic bacteria. Moreover, the gene cluster containing a homolog of the polyketide synthase CitS was identified as the citrinin biosynthesis gene cluster through genetic analysis. Interestingly, three isoquinoline alkaloids were unexpectedly activated and isolated from the Δcits mutant and structural determination by using high-resolution electron spray ionization mass spectroscopy (HRESIMS), 1D, and 2D NMR. Further antibacterial assays displayed that compounds 1 and 2, but not compound 3, showed moderate activities against two antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacteria with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 16–32 μg/ml. In conclusion, our results demonstrated that citrinin and isoquinoline alkaloids represent as the major antibacterial agents in the coral-associated fungus P. steckii P2648, and our genomic and chemical analyses present evidence in support of P. steckii P2648 as a potent natural products source for anti-bacterial drug discovery.

Abstract
Pyrido-benzodiazepine derivatives are undoubtedly one of the most important structural motifs in the marketed drugs and the drug candidates. Commonly synthetic methods for construction of the benzodiazepine ring derivatives are based on the condensation reactions of two highly functionalized synthons. The development of synthesis for these compounds, however, is hampered by the regioselectivity and atom economy. In this work, a one-step synthesis of pyrido-benzodiazepine backbones and its analogues is achieved through continuous ring-opening hydrolysis of benzimidazole salts and intramolecular C-H bond activation. The reaction mechanism is explored by control experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Abstract
Seven new nitrile-bearing polyacetylenes, named albanitriles A-G, were isolated from a marine sponge of the Mycale genus (Order: Poecilosclerida, Family: Mycalidae) collected near Albany, Western Australia. Structural elucidation was achieved using a combination of high-resolution mass spectrometry and ultraviolet/visible, infrared, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The compounds were found to possess moderate activity against Giardia duodenalis when compared to a metronidazole positive control.

Abstract
Two new indolyl diketopiperazines, gartryprostatins A and B (1 and 2), with an unusual 2,3-furan-fused pyrano[2,3-g]pyrrolo[1″,2″:4',5']pyrazino[1',2':1,5]pyrrolo[2,3-b]indole nucleus, along with a new naturally occurring compound (gartryprostatin C, 3) were isolated from the solid culture of Aspergillus sp. GZWMJZ-258, an endophyte from Garcinia multiflora (Guttiferae). The structures of compounds 1-3 were determined by nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, Marfey's analysis of amino acids, and chemical calculation.
