Atranones and dolabellanes with cardiomyocyte protective activity against cold ischemic injury from a coral-associated fungus Stachybotrys chartarum. PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2024; 225:114199. [PMID: 38936531 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2024.114199] [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: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 06/23/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024]
Abstract
Five undescribed atranones, namely atranones V-Z (1-5), three undescribed dolabellane-type diterpenoids, namely stachatranones D-F (7-9), together with four known congeners (6 and 10-12), were obtained from a coral-associated strain of the toxigenic fungus Stachybotrys chartarum. Their structures were elucidated via extensive spectroscopic analyses, mainly including the HRESIMS and NMR data, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, electronic circular dichroism calculation, and [Mo2(OAc)4] induced circular dichroism spectrum. The cardiomyocyte protective activity assay revealed that compound 9 significantly ameliorated cold ischemic injury at 24 h post cold ischemia (CI) in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, compound 9 prevented CI induced dephosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase and RAC-α serine/threonine-protein kinase at 12 h post CI in a dose-dependent manner. In this work, the undescribed compound 9 could significantly protect cardiomyocytes against cold ischemic injury, highlighting the promising potential to be designed and developed as a novel cardioprotectant in heart transplant medicine.

Abstract
The current 2019-2021 marine pharmacology literature review provides a continuation of previous reviews covering the period 1998 to 2018. Preclinical marine pharmacology research during 2019-2021 was published by researchers in 42 countries and contributed novel mechanism-of-action pharmacology for 171 structurally characterized marine compounds. The peer-reviewed marine natural product pharmacology literature reported antibacterial, antifungal, antiprotozoal, antituberculosis, and antiviral mechanism-of-action studies for 49 compounds, 87 compounds with antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory activities that also affected the immune and nervous system, while another group of 51 compounds demonstrated novel miscellaneous mechanisms of action, which upon further investigation, may contribute to several pharmacological classes. Thus, in 2019-2021, a very active preclinical marine natural product pharmacology pipeline provided novel mechanisms of action as well as new lead chemistry for the clinical marine pharmaceutical pipeline targeting the therapy of several disease categories.

Bioorg Chem 2024; 148:107461. [PMID: 38788363 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2024.107461] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
Stachybatranones A-F (1a/1b and 2-6) and three known analogues, namely methylatranones A and B (7 and 8) and atranone B (9), were isolated and identified from a toxigenic fungus Stachybotrys chartarum. Their structures and absolute configurations were elucidated via the extensive spectroscopic data, comparison of the experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) data, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Structurally, compounds 2-6 belonged to a rare class of C-alkylated dolabellanes, featuring a unique five-membered hemiketal ring and a γ-butyrolactone moiety both fused to an 11-membered carbocyclic system, while compound 1 (1a/1b) represented the first example of a 5-11-6-fused atranone possessing a 2,3-butanediol moiety. The cardiomyocyte protective activity assay revealed that compounds 1-9 ameliorated cold ischemic injury at 24 h post cold ischemia (CI), with compounds 1 and 4 acting in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, compound 1 prevented cold ischemia induced dephosphorylation of PI3K and AKT acting in a dose-dependent manner. In this study, a new class of natural products were found to protect cardiomyocytes against cold ischemic injury, providing a potential option for the development of novel cardioprotectants in heart transplant medicine.

Anticandidal Activity of a Siderophore from Marine Endophyte Pseudomonas aeruginosa Mgrv7. Antibiotics (Basel) 2024; 13:347. [PMID: 38667023 PMCID: PMC11047651 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics13040347] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2024] [Revised: 04/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024] Open
Abstract
An endophytic symbiont P. aeruginosa-producing anticandidal siderophore was recovered from mangrove leaves for the first time. Production was optimal in a succinate medium supplemented with 0.4% citric acid and 15 µM iron at pH 7 and 35 °C after 60 h of fermentation. UV spectra of the acidic preparation after purification with Amberlite XAD-4 resin gave a peak at 400 nm, while the neutralized form gave a peak at 360 nm. A prominent peak with RP-HPLC was obtained at RT 18.95 min, confirming its homogeneity. It was pH stable at 5.0-9.5 and thermally stable at elevated temperatures, which encourages the possibility of its application in extreme environments. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) against Candida spp. Were in the range of 128 µg/mL and lower. It enhanced the intracellular iron accumulation with 3.2-4.2-fold (as judged by atomic absorption spectrometry) with a subsequent increase in the intracellular antioxidative enzymes SOD and CAT. Furthermore, the malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration due to cellular lipid peroxidation increased to 3.8-fold and 7.3-fold in C. albicans and C. tropicalis, respectively. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) confirmed cellular damage in the form of roughness, malformation, and production of defensive exopolysaccharides and/or proteins after exposure to siderophore. In conclusion, this anticandidal siderophore may be a promising biocontrol, nonpolluting agent against waterborne pathogens and pathogens of the skin. It indirectly kills Candida spp. by ferroptosis and mediation of hyperaccumulation of iron rather than directly attacking the cell targets, which triggers the activation of antioxidative enzymes.

Abstract
Microbial secondary metabolites are pivotal for the development of novel drugs. However, conventional culture techniques, have left a vast array of unexpressed biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) in microorganisms, hindering the discovery of metabolites with distinct structural features and diverse biological functions. To address this limitation, several innovative strategies have been emerged. The "One Strain Many Compounds" (OSMAC) strategy, which involves altering microbial culture conditions, has proven to be particularly effective in mining numerous novel secondary metabolites for the past few years. Among these, microbial cyclic peptides stand out. These peptides often comprise rare amino acids, unique chemical structures, and remarkable biological function. With the advancement of the OSMAC strategy, a plethora of new cyclic peptides have been identified from diverse microbial genera. This work reviews the progress in mining novel compounds using the OSMAC strategy and the applications of this strategy in discovering 284 microbial cyclic peptides from 63 endophytic strains, aiming to offer insights for the further explorations into novel active cyclic peptides.

Epiphytic and endophytic microbiome of the seagrass Zostera marina: Do they contribute to pathogen reduction in seawater? THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 908:168422. [PMID: 37956849 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.168422] [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: 08/18/2023] [Revised: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023]
Abstract
Seagrass meadows provide crucial ecosystem services for coastal environments and were shown to reduce the abundance of waterborne pathogens linked to infections in humans and marine organisms in their vicinity. Among potential drivers, seagrass phenolics released into seawater have been linked to pathogen suppression, but the potential involvement of the seagrass microbiome has not been investigated. We hypothesized that the microbiome of the eelgrass Zostera marina, especially the leaf epiphytes that are at direct interface between the seagrass host and the surrounding seawater, inhibit waterborne pathogens thereby contributing to their removal. Using a culture-dependent approach, we isolated 88 bacteria and fungi associated with the surfaces and inner tissues of the eelgrass leaves (healthy and decaying) and the roots. We assessed the antibiotic activity of microbial extracts against a large panel of common aquatic, human (fecal) and plant pathogens, and mined the metabolome of the most active extracts. The healthy leaf epibiotic bacteria, particularly Streptomyces sp. strain 131, displayed broad-spectrum antibiotic activity superior to some control drugs. Gram-negative bacteria abundant on healthy leaf surfaces, and few endosphere-associated bacteria and fungi also displayed remarkable activities. UPLC-MS/MS-based untargeted metabolomics analyses showed rich specialized metabolite repertoires with low annotation rates, indicating the presence of many undescribed antimicrobials in the extracts. This study contributes to our understanding on microbial and chemical ecology of seagrasses, implying potential involvement of the seagrass microbiome in suppression of pathogens in seawater. Such effect is beneficial for the health of ocean and human, especially in the context of climate change that is expected to exacerbate all infectious diseases. It may also assist future seagrass conservation and management strategies.

Abstract
Candida spp. are common opportunistic microorganisms in the human body and can cause mucosal, cutaneous, and systemic infections, mainly in individuals with weakened immune systems. Candida albicans is the most isolated and pathogenic species; however, multi-drug-resistant yeasts like Candida auris have recently been found in many different regions of the world. The increasing development of resistance to common antifungals by Candida species limits the therapeutic options. In light of this, the present review attempts to discuss the significance of marine natural products in controlling the proliferation and metabolism of C. albicans and non-albicans species. Natural compounds produced by sponges, algae, sea cucumber, bacteria, fungi, and other marine organisms have been the subject of numerous studies since the 1980s, with the discovery of several products with different chemical frameworks that can inhibit Candida spp., including antifungal drug-resistant strains. Sponges fall under the topmost category when compared to all other organisms investigated. Terpenoids, sterols, and alkaloids from this group exhibit a wide array of inhibitory activity against different Candida species. Especially, hippolide J, a pair of enantiomeric sesterterpenoids isolated from the marine sponge Hippospongia lachne, exhibited strong activity against Candida albicans, Candida parapsilosis, and Candida glabrata. In addition, a comprehensive analysis was performed to unveil the mechanisms of action and synergistic activity of marine products with conventional antifungals. In general, the results of this review show that the majority of chemicals derived from the marine environment are able to control particular functions of microorganisms belonging to the Candida genus, which can provide insights into designing new anti-candidal therapies.

Abstract
LC-MS/MS-based molecular networking annotation coupled 1H NMR detection allowed the depiction of the soft coral Clavularia viridis to produce a profile of dolabellane-type diterpenoids. Chromatographic separation of the EtOAc fraction resulted in the isolation of 12 undescribed dolabellane-type diterpenoids, namely, clavirolides J-U (1-12). Their structures were characterized by the extensive analysis of the spectroscopic data, including the calculated ECD and X-ray diffraction for the configurational assignments. Clavirolides J-K are characterized by a 1,11- and 5,9-fused tricyclic tetradecane scaffold fused with a α,β-unsaturated-δ-lactone, and clavirolide L possesses a 1,11- and 3,5-fused tricyclic tetradecane scaffold, which extend the dolabellane-type scaffolds. Clavirolides L and G showed significant inhibition against HIV-1 without RT enzyme inhibition, providing additional non-nucleosides with different mechanisms from efavirenz.

Biocontrol of Candida albicans by Antagonistic Microorganisms and Bioactive Compounds. Antibiotics (Basel) 2022; 11:antibiotics11091238. [PMID: 36140017 PMCID: PMC9495215 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics11091238] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2022] [Revised: 08/26/2022] [Accepted: 09/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Candida albicans is an endogenous opportunistic pathogenic fungus that is harmless when the host system remains stable. However, C. albicans could seriously threaten human life and health when the body’s immune function declines or the normal flora is out of balance. Due to the increasing resistance of candidiasis to existing drugs, it is important to find new strategies to help treat this type of systemic fungal disease. Biological control is considered as a promising strategy which is more friendly and safer. In this review, we compare the bacteriostatic behavior of different antagonistic microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) against C. albicans. In addition, natural products with unique structures have attracted researchers’ attention. Therefore, the bioactive nature products produced by different microorganisms and their possible inhibitory mechanisms are also reviewed. The application of biological control strategies and the discovery of new compounds with antifungal activity will reduce the resistance of C. albicans, thereby promoting the development of novel diverse antifungal drugs.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance has been posing an alarming threat to the treatment of infectious diseases over the years. Ineffectiveness of the currently available synthetic and semisynthetic antibiotics has led the researchers to discover new molecules with potent antimicrobial activities. To overcome the emerging antimicrobial resistance, new antimicrobial compounds from natural sources might be appropriate. Secondary metabolites from natural sources could be prospective candidates in the development of new antimicrobial agents with high efficacy and less side effects. Among the natural secondary metabolites, diterpenoids are of crucial importance because of their broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity, which has put it in the center of research interest in recent years. The present work is aimed at reviewing recent literature regarding different classes of natural diterpenes and diterpenoids with significant antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and antiprotozoal activities along with their reported structure–activity relationships. This review has been carried out with a focus on relevant literature published in the last 5 years following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A total of 229 diterpenoids from various sources like plants, marine species, and fungi are summarized in this systematic review, including their chemical structures, classification, and significant antimicrobial activities together with their reported mechanism of action and structure–activity relationships. The outcomes herein would provide researchers with new insights to find new credible leads and to work on their synthetic and semisynthetic derivatives to develop new antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
In nature, there are many species of fungi known to produce various mycotoxins, allergens and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), as well as the commonly known etiological agents of various types of mycoses. So far, none of them have provoked so much emotion among homeowners, builders, conservators, mycologists and clinicians as Stachybotrys chartarum. This species compared to fungi of the genera Fusarium and Aspergillus is not as frequently described to be a micromycete that is toxigenic and hazardous to human and animal health, but interest in it has been growing consistently for three decades. Depending on the authors of any given review article, attention is focused either on the clinical aspects alongside the role of this fungus in deterioration of biomaterials, or aspects related to its biology, ecology and taxonomic position. On the one hand, it is well established that inhalation of conidia, containing the highest concentrations of toxic metabolites, may cause serious damage to the mammalian lung, particularly with repeated exposure. On the other hand, we can find articles in which authors demonstrate that S. chartarum conidia can germinate and form hyphae in lungs but are not able to establish an effective infection. Finally, we can find case reports that suggest that S. chartarum infection is linked with acute pulmonary hemorrhage, based on fungal structures recovered from patient lung tissue. New scientific reports have verified the current state of knowledge and note that clinical significance of this fungus is exceedingly controversial. For these reasons, understanding S. chartarum requires reviewing the well-known toxigenic features and harmful factors associated with this fungus, by gathering the newest ones into a coherent whole. The research problem related to this fungus seems to be not overly publicized, and there is still a demand to truthfully define the real threats of S. chartarum and phylogenetically related species. The most important problem, which should be fully elucidated as soon as possible, remains the clarification of the pathogenicity of S. chartarum and related species. Maybe it is urgent time to ask a critical question, namely what exactly do we know 28 years after the outbreak of pulmonary hemorrhage in infants in Cleveland, Ohio, USA most likely caused by S. chartarum?

Abstract
Twelve new members (1-12) of the dolabellane family, co-occurring with three related known diterpenoids (13-15), were isolated from the Xisha soft coral Clavularia viridis. Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis, modified Mosher's method, and X-ray diffraction analysis. Clavuperoxylides A (3) and B (4) represent the first examples of dolabellanes containing peroxyl groups, especially the novel peroxide bridge in 4, whereas clavufuranolides A-C (9-11) are the first example of dolabellane diterpenoids comprising a tetrahydrofuran ring. The possible biogenetic relationship of all the isolates was proposed. In bioassay, several compounds exhibited considerable cytotoxicity against A549 and P388 cell lines. Compound 7 exhibited inhibitory activity against protein tyrosine phosphatases 1B (PTP1B), an anti-diabetic target, representing the first report of PTP1B inhibitory activity for dolabellane diterpenoids.

Emerione A, a novel fungal metabolite as an inhibitor of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1, restores carbapenem susceptibility in carbapenem-resistant isolates. J Glob Antimicrob Resist 2022; 28:216-222. [PMID: 35017068 DOI: 10.1016/j.jgar.2021.12.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2021] [Revised: 12/06/2021] [Accepted: 12/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Bacterial strains that produce New Delhi metal-β-lactamase 1 (NDM-1) are worldwide threats. It is still a challenging task to find a potent NDM-1 inhibitor for clinical practice. METHODS Molecular docking and virtual screening of an in-house fungal natural product database for NDM-1 inhibitors were performed. Based on the screening results, the affinity and inhibition analysis of potential NDM-1 inhibitors was determined using purified NDM-1. The efficacy of compounds in combination with four β-lactam antibiotics (meropenem, imipenem, ceftriaxone and ampicillin) was evaluated. The morphological transforms of K. pneumoniae ATCC BAA2146 after treatment with the compounds were visualized by transmission electron microscopy. RESULTS In silico screening led to the identification of four fungal products as potential NDM-1 inhibitors. Emerione A (1), a methylated polyketide with bicyclo[4.2.0]octene and 3,6-dioxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane, has significant activity in cells (Kd = 11.8 ± 0.6 μM; IC50 = 12.1 ± 0.9 μM) and potentiates the activity of meropenem against two kinds of NDM-1-producing Enterobacteriaceae. To the best of our knowledge, emerione A (1) is the second fungal metabolite reported to exhibit NMD-1 inhibitory activity. According to the structural novelty of our database, we also found a structural new compound, asperfunolone A (2), with potential NMD-1 inhibitory activity. CONCLUSION Considering the low toxicity characteristic of emerione A (1), it may be processed as a potential lead compound for anti-NDM-1 drug development.

Abstract
Ten new meroterpenoids, bipolaquinones A-J (1-10), and one known congener, isocochlioquinone F (11), were isolated and identified from the fermented rice cultures of a soil-derived fungus, Bipolaris zeicola. The planar structures of 1-10 were elucidated based on extensive spectroscopic analyses (including HRESIMS and 1D and 2D NMR data), and their absolute configurations were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, comparison of experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) data, ECD calculations, and hydrolysis reaction. The immunosuppressive activity assay revealed that compounds 2, 3, and 7-10 showed significant inhibitory activity against concanavalin A (ConA)-induced T lymphocyte proliferation with IC50 values ranging from 4.1 to 9.4 μM, which furnished potential lead molecules for the design and development of new immunosuppressants for treating autoimmune-associated diseases.

Abstract
Candida is an intractable life-threatening pathogen. Candida infection is extremely difficult to eradicate, and thus is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised individuals. Morevover, the rapid spread of drug-resistant fungi has led to significant decreases in the therapeutic effects of clinical drugs. New anti-Candida agents are urgently needed to solve the complicated medical problem. Natural products with intricate structures have attracted great attention of researchers who make every endeavor to discover leading compounds for antifungal agents. Their novel mechanisms and diverse modes of action expand the variety of fungistatic agents and reduce the emergence of drug resistance. In recent decades, considerable effort has been devoted to finding unique antifungal agents from nature and revealing their unusual mechanisms, which results in important progress on the development of new antifungals, such as the novel cell wall inhibitors YW3548 and SCY-078 which are being tested in clinical trials. This review will present a brief summary on the landscape of anti-Candida natural products within the last decade. We will also discuss in-depth the research progress on diverse natural fungistatic agents along with their novel mechanisms.

Abstract
Despite the increasing number of novel marine natural products being reported from fungi in the last three decades, to date only the broad-spectrum cephalosporin C can be tracked back as marine fungal-derived drug. Cephalosporins were isolated in the early 1940s from a strain of Acremonium chrysogenum obtained in a sample collected in sewage water in the Sardinian coast, preliminary findings allowing the discovery of cephalosporin C. Since then, bioprospection of marine fungi has been enabling the identification of several metabolites with antibacterial effects, many of which proving to be active against multi-drug resistant strains, available data suggesting also that some might fuel the pharmaceutical firepower towards some of the bacterial pathogens classified as a priority by the World Health Organization. Considering the success of their terrestrial counterparts on the discovery and development of several antibiotics that are nowadays used in the clinical setting, marine fungi obviously come into mind as producers of new prototypes to counteract antibiotic-resistant bacteria that are no longer responding to available treatments. We mainly aim to provide a snapshot on those metabolites that are likely to proceed to advanced preclinical development, not only based on their antibacterial potency, but also considering their targets and modes of action, and activity against priority pathogens.

Abstract
This review covers the literature published in 2019 for marine natural products (MNPs), with 719 citations (701 for the period January to December 2019) referring to compounds isolated from marine microorganisms and phytoplankton, green, brown and red algae, sponges, cnidarians, bryozoans, molluscs, tunicates, echinoderms, mangroves and other intertidal plants and microorganisms. The emphasis is on new compounds (1490 in 440 papers for 2019), together with the relevant biological activities, source organisms and country of origin. Pertinent reviews, biosynthetic studies, first syntheses, and syntheses that led to the revision of structures or stereochemistries, have been included. Methods used to study marine fungi and their chemical diversity have also been discussed.

Abstract
Extremophilic microorganisms, which are capable of functioning normally at extremely high or low temperatures, pressure, and in other environmental conditions, have been in the focus of microbiologists' attention for several decades due to the biotechnological potential of enzymes inherent in extremophiles. These enzymes (also called extremozymes) are used in the production of food and detergents and other industries. At the same time, the inhabitants of extreme econiches remained almost unexplored for a long time in terms of the chemistry of natural compounds. In recent years, the emergence of new antibiotic-resistant strains of pathogens, which affect humans and animals has become a global problem. The problem is compounded by a strong slowdown in the development of new antibiotics. In search of new active substances and scaffolds for medical chemistry, researchers turn to unexplored natural sources. In recent years, there has been a sharp increase in the number of studies on secondary metabolites produced by extremophiles. From the discovery of penicillin to the present day, micromycetes, along with actinobacteria, are one of the most productive sources of antibiotic compounds for medicine and agriculture. Many authors consider extremophilic micromycetes as a promising source of small molecules with an unusual mechanism of action or significant structural novelty. This review summarizes the latest (for 2018-2019) experimental data on antibiotic compounds, which are produced by extremophilic micromycetes with various types of adaptation. Active metabolites are classified by the type of structure and biosynthetic origin. The data on the biological activity of the isolated metabolites are summarized.

Abstract
Two new nucleoside derivatives, kipukasins M (1a) and N (1b), along with one known analogue, kipukasin J (2), were obtained from the marine-derived fungus Aspergillus versicolor, which was isolated from the mud collected in the South China Sea. The structures of compounds 1a and 1b were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis, mainly including 1D & 2D NMR and HRESIMS data, and the absolute configuration of 1a was further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Interestingly, intramolecular transesterification occurs in compounds 1a and 1b, which exist as a pair of inseparable regioisomers. All isolated compounds were tested for the cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities.

Abstract
In the present study, four new compounds including a pair of 2-benzoyl tetrahydrofuran enantiomers, namely, (−)-1S-myrothecol (1a) and (+)-1R-myrothecol (1b), a methoxy-myrothecol racemate (2), and an azaphilone derivative, myrothin (3), were isolated along with four known compounds (4–7) from cultures of the deep-sea fungus Myrothecium sp. BZO-L062. Enantiomeric compounds 1a and 1b were separated through normal-phase chiral high-performance liquid chromatography. The absolute configurations of 1a, 1b, and 3 were assigned by ECD spectra. Among them, the new compound 1a and its enantiomer 1b exhibited anti-inflammatory activity, inhibited nitric oxide formation in lipopolysaccharide-treated RAW264.7 cells, and exhibited antioxidant activity in the 2,2-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and oxygen radical absorbance capacity assays.

Abstract
A pair of enantiomeric 15-nordolabellane diterpenoids, (-)- and (+)-caseadolabellols A (1a and 1b), three dolabellane diterpenoids, caseadolabellols B-D (2-4), two dolastane diterpenoids, caseadolastols A and B (5 and 6), 10 clerodane diterpenoids, caseakurzins A-J (7-16), and nine known diterpenoids (17-25) were isolated from the twigs and leaves of Casearia kurzii. The structures of the new compounds were established on the basis of extensive spectroscopic data, and those of compounds 1a, 1b, and 2 were verified by single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis. The enantiomers 1a and 1b were separated by chiral-phase HPLC. The absolute configurations were determined by experimental and calculated ECD data, the modified Mosher's method, or literature comparison. Compounds 1a and 5 showed significant quinone reductase-inducing activity in Hepa 1c1c7 cells, while 1b showed moderate activity. Molecular docking studies showed that 1a had greater binding affinity with Nrf2 protein (5FNQ) than 1b. The cytotoxic activity of compounds 1a, 1b, 2-12, 15, and 16 was evaluated, among which compounds 8 and 16 exhibited significant inhibitory activity against the A549 cell line. Compounds 8 and 16 induced the A549 cells to arrest at G2/M and S phases, respectively, and both compounds induced apoptosis in A549 cells.

Abstract
Two new atranones T and U (1 and 2), and three known analogues atranone B (3), atranone Q (4), and stachatranone C (5) were isolated from the toxigenic fungus Stachybotrys chartarum. Their structures and absolute configurations were elucidated by spectroscopic data and calculated ECD analyses. The cytotoxicities of all the atranones (1-5) were evaluated against MG-63 human osteosarcoma cell lines. Compound 4 exhibited significant cytotoxic effect against MG-63 with IC50 value of 8.6 μM, being more active than the positive control, 5-FU (IC50 10.4 μM). Morphological features of apoptosis activities were evaluated in 4-treated MG-63 cells. Compound 4 effectively induced apoptosis of MG-63, which was associated with G0/G1-phase cell cycle arrest. Flow cytometric analysis showed that the treatment by 4 significantly induced MG-63 cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner.

Abstract
Seven undescribed alkaloids, namely fischeramides A and B, 5,6-dimethoxycircumdatin C, 6-hydroxyacetylaszonalenin, 3-methoxyglyantrypine, 9-methoxyfumitremorgin C, and spirotryprostatin M, one undescribed natural product, namely 11-deacetyl pyripyropene A, together with nine known congeners, were isolated from the solid cultures of fungus Neosartorya fischeri, which was separated from a medicinal insect Cryptotympana atrata. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic data, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Structurally, fischeramides A and B represented a pair of rare geometric isomers of the benzodiazepinedione derivatives with a highly conjugated feature. Fischeramide A showed potential immunosuppressive activity in LPS and anti-CD3/anti-CD28 mAbs activated murine splenocytes proliferation with IC50 values of 7.08 and 6.31 μM, respectively, and also showed anti-inflammatory activity against the lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide production with an IC50 value of 25 ± 1 μM. In addition, 5,6-dimethoxycircumdatin C showed remarkable antibacterial activity against ESBL-producing E. coli with an MIC value of 2.0 μg/mL.

Antibiotics Development and the Potentials of Marine-Derived Compounds to Stem the Tide of Multidrug-Resistant Pathogenic Bacteria, Fungi, and Protozoa. Mar Drugs 2020; 18:E145. [PMID: 32121196 PMCID: PMC7142797 DOI: 10.3390/md18030145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2020] [Revised: 02/19/2020] [Accepted: 02/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
As the search for new antibiotics continues, the resistance to known antimicrobial compounds continues to increase. Many researchers around the world, in response to antibiotics resistance, have continued to search for new antimicrobial compounds in different ecological niches such as the marine environment. Marine habitats are one of the known and promising sources for bioactive compounds with antimicrobial potentials against currently drug-resistant strains of pathogenic microorganisms. For more than a decade, numerous antimicrobial compounds have been discovered from marine environments, with many more antimicrobials still being discovered every year. So far, only very few compounds are in preclinical and clinical trials. Research in marine natural products has resulted in the isolation and identification of numerous diverse and novel chemical compounds with potency against even drug-resistant pathogens. Some of these compounds, which mainly came from marine bacteria and fungi, have been classified into alkaloids, lactones, phenols, quinones, tannins, terpenes, glycosides, halogenated, polyketides, xanthones, macrocycles, peptides, and fatty acids. All these are geared towards discovering and isolating unique compounds with therapeutic potential, especially against multidrug-resistant pathogenic microorganisms. In this review, we tried to summarize published articles from 2015 to 2019 on antimicrobial compounds isolated from marine sources, including some of their chemical structures and tests performed against drug-resistant pathogens.

Abstract
The reported fumiquinazoline-related alkaloids cottoquinazolines E-G (1-3) were reisolated from solid cultures of the fungus Neosartorya fischeri, which was isolated from the medicinal arthropod Cryptotympana atrata. The unresolved issues regarding the absolute configurations (for cottoquinazolines E and F) prompted a reinvestigation of the configurations for all three compounds, as enabled by extensive spectroscopic methods, comparisons of experimental electronic circular dichroism data, and X-ray crystallography. In addition, cottoquinazoline F (2) showed significant antibacterial activity against ESBL-producing Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterococcus faecalis with MIC values of 8, 32, 32, and 16 μg/mL, respectively.

Abstract
In this review, we discuss novel natural products discovered within the last decade that are reported to have antifungal activity against pathogenic species. Nearly a hundred natural products were identified that originate from bacteria, algae, fungi, sponges, and plants. Fungi were the most prolific source of antifungal compounds discovered during the period of review. The structural diversity of these antifungal leads encompasses all the major classes of natural products including polyketides, shikimate metabolites, terpenoids, alkaloids, and peptides.
