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
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.

Abstract
Two new quinazolinone diketopiperazine alkaloids, including versicomide E (2) and cottoquinazoline H (4), together with ten known compounds (1, 3, and 5-12) were isolated and identified from Aspergillus versicolor AS-212, an endozoic fungus associated with the deep-sea coral Hemicorallium cf. imperiale, which was collected from the Magellan Seamounts. Their chemical structures were determined by an extensive interpretation of the spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic data as well as specific rotation calculation, ECD calculation, and comparison of their ECD spectra. The absolute configurations of (-)-isoversicomide A (1) and cottoquinazoline A (3) were not assigned in the literature reports and were solved in the present work by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In the antibacterial assays, compound 3 exhibited antibacterial activity against aquatic pathogenic bacteria Aeromonas hydrophilia with an MIC value of 18.6 μM, while compounds 4 and 8 exhibited inhibitory effects against Vibrio harveyi and V. parahaemolyticus with MIC values ranging from 9.0 to 18.1 μM.

Abstract
The arthropod-associated fungi have been demonstrated to be a remarkable producer of structurally captivating and bioactive secondary metabolites for drug discovery. In this study, eleven new indoloquinazoline alkaloids, namely aspergilloids A-K (1-11), along with five known congeners (12-16), were obtained from fungus Aspergillus clavatonanicus, which was isolated from the gut of a centipede collected in our Tongji campus. All these compounds were rarely defined by a 6/5/5 indolone ring system in conjugation with a five-membered spiral ring (1-5 and 10-16) or an opening five-membered spiral ring (6-9). Their structures were elucidated by widespread spectroscopic analyses, mainly including HRESIMS and 1D and 2D NMR data, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) data analyses. The cardiomyocyte protective activity assay revealed that compounds 1, 2, 5, 12-14, and 16 ameliorated cold ischemic injury at 48 h post cold ischemia (CI), and compounds 1, 5, and 14 prevented cold ischemia induced Ser9 dephosphorylation of GSK3β at 12 h post CI. Our current study highlights indoloquinazoline alkaloids as the first class of natural cardiomyocyte protective agents against cold ischemic injury, which furnishes promising lead molecules for the development of new cardioprotectants in heart transplantation medicine.

Abstract
Indole alkaloids represent a large subset of natural products, with more than 4100 known compounds. The majority of these alkaloids are biologically active, with some exhibiting excellent antitumor, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antiplasmodial activities. Consequently, the natural products of this class have attracted considerable attention as potential leads for novel therapeutics and are routinely isolated, characterized, and profiled to gauge their biological potential. However, data on indole alkaloids, their various structures, and bioactivities are complex due to their diverse sources, such as plants, fungi, bacteria, sponges, tunicates, and bryozoans; thus, isolation methods produce an incredible trove of information. The situation is exacerbated when synthetic derivatives, as well as their structures, bioactivities, and synthetic schemes, are considered. Thus, to make such data comprehensive and inform researchers about the current field's state, this review summarizes recent reports on novel indole alkaloids. It deals with the isolation and characterization of 250 novel indole alkaloids, a reappraisal of previously reported compounds, and total syntheses of indole alkaloids. In addition, several syntheses and semi-syntheses of indole-containing derivatives and their bioactivities are reported between January 2019 and July 2022.

[PMID: 35408769 PMCID: PMC9000665 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27072351] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2022] [Revised: 04/03/2022] [Accepted: 04/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Fungi comprise the second most species-rich organism group after that of insects. Recent estimates hypothesized that the currently reported fungal species range from 3.5 to 5.1 million types worldwide. Fungi can grow in a wide range of habitats, from the desert to the depths of the sea. Most develop in terrestrial environments, but several species live only in aquatic habitats, and some live in symbiotic relationships with plants, animals, or other fungi. Fungi have been proved to be a rich source of biologically active natural products, some of which are clinically important drugs such as the β-lactam antibiotics, penicillin and cephalosporin, the immunosuppressant, cyclosporine, and the cholesterol-lowering drugs, compactin and lovastatin. Given the estimates of fungal biodiversity, it is easy to perceive that only a small fraction of fungi worldwide have ever been investigated regarding the production of biologically valuable compounds. Traditionally, fungi are classified primarily based on the structures associated with sexual reproduction. Thus, the genus Neosartorya (Family Trichocomaceae) is the telemorphic (sexual state) of the Aspergillus section known as Fumigati, which produces both a sexual state with ascospores and an asexual state with conidiospores, while the Aspergillus species produces only conidiospores. However, according to the Melbourne Code of nomenclature, only the genus name Aspergillus is to be used for both sexual and asexual states. Consequently, the genus name Neosartorya was no longer to be used after 1 January 2013. Nevertheless, the genus name Neosartorya is still used for the fungi that had already been taxonomically classified before the new rule was in force. Another aspect is that despite the small number of species (23 species) in the genus Neosartorya, and although less than half of them have been investigated chemically, the chemical diversity of this genus is impressive. Many chemical classes of compounds, some of which have unique scaffolds, such as indole alkaloids, peptides, meroterpenes, and polyketides, have been reported from its terrestrial, marine-derived, and endophytic species. Though the biological and pharmacological activities of a small fraction of the isolated metabolites have been investigated due to the available assay systems, they exhibited relevant biological and pharmacological activities, such as anticancer, antibacterial, antiplasmodial, lipid-lowering, and enzyme-inhibitory activities.

Abstract
Bioassay-directed isolation of secondary metabolites from an extract of Penicillium chrysogenum TJ403-CA4 isolated from the medicinally valuable arthropod Cryptotympana atrata afforded five new and 10 known compounds (1-15). All the compounds (except 14) belong to a minor class of highly rigid 6-5-5-5-fused tetracyclic cyclopiane-type diterpenes known to be exclusively produced by members of the Penicillium genus. The structures and absolute configurations of the new compounds (1-5) were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses, including HRESIMS and 1D and 2D NMR, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and comparison of the experimental electronic circular dichroism data. Compounds 1 and 2 represent the first examples of cyclopianes bearing a C-20 carboxyl group; compound 3 represents the first example of a cyclopiane with a gem-hydroxymethyl group; compound 4 represents the second example of a cyclopiane bearing a hydroxy group at C-7; compound 5 represents the first example of a cyclopiane bearing a hydroxy group at C-8. Compounds 2 and 3 exhibited activity against MRSA, with MIC values of 4.0 and 2.0 μg/mL, respectively. In addition, the structure-antibacterial activity relationship (SAR) of compounds 1-15 is discussed.

[PMID: 32315839 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2020.112374] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2020] [Revised: 04/04/2020] [Accepted: 04/04/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
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.

Abstract
The discovery of novel antibacterial molecules plays a key role in solving the current antibiotic crisis issue. Natural products have long been an important source of drug discovery. Herein, we reviewed 256 natural products from 11 structural classes in the period of 2016-01/2020, which were selected by SciFinder with new compounds or new structures and MICs lower than 10 μg/mL or 10 μM as criterions. This review will provide some effective antibacterial lead compounds for medicinal chemists, which will promote the antibiotics research based on natural products to the next level.
