Abstract
BACKGROUND Penicillium produces a wide range of structurally diverse metabolites with significant pharmacological impacts in medicine and agriculture. For the first time, a complete metabolome of Penicillium claviforme (P. claviforme) (FBP-DNA-1205) was studied alongside pharmacological research in this study. METHODS The metabolic profile of P. claviforme fermented on Potato Dextrose Broth (PDB) was investigated in this work. The complete metabolomics studies of fungus were performed using GC-MS and LC-MS-QTOF techniques. An in vitro model was utilised to study the cytotoxic and antioxidant activities, while an in vivo model was employed to investigate the antinociceptive and acute toxicity activities. Molecular Operating Environment (MOE) software was used for molecular docking analysis. RESULTS GC-MS study showed the presence of alkanes, fatty acids, esters, azo and alcoholic compounds. Maculosin, obtain, phalluside, quinoline, 4,4'-diaminostilbene, funaltrexamine, amobarbital, and fraxetin were among the secondary metabolites identified using the LC-MS-QTOF technique. The n-hexane fraction of P. claviforme displayed significant cytotoxic activity in vitro, with an LD50 value of 92.22 µgml-1. The antinociceptive effects in vivo were dose-dependent significantly (p < .001). Interestingly, during the 72 h of investigation, no acute toxicity was demonstrated. In addition, a docking study of tentatively identified metabolites against the inflammatory enzyme (COX-2) supported the antinociceptive effect in an in silico model. CONCLUSION Metabolic profile of P. claviforme shows the presence of biologically relevant compounds in ethyl acetate extract. In addition, P. claviforme exhibits substantial antioxidant and cytotoxic activities in an in vitro model as well as antinociceptive activity in an in vivo model. The antinociceptive action is also supported by a molecular docking study. This research has opened up new possibilities in the disciplines of mycology, agriculture, and pharmaceutics. Key messagesThe first time explored complete metabolome through GC-MS and LC-MS-QTOF.Both in vivo & in vitro pharmacological investigation of P. claviforme.In silico molecular docking of LC-MS-QTOF metabolites.

Abstract
Leishmania is a complex disease caused by the protozoan parasites and transmitted by female phlebotomine sandfly. The disease affects some of the poorest people on earth with an estimated 700,000 to 1 million new cases annually. The current treatment for leishmaniasis is toxic, long, and limited, in view of the high resistance rate presented by the parasite, necessitating new perspectives for treatment. The discovery of new compounds with different targets can be a hope to make the treatment more efficient. Microbial metabolites and their structural analogues with enormous scaffold diversity and structural complexity have historically played a key role in drug discovery. We found thirty-nine research articles published between 1999 and 2021 in the scientific database (PubMed, Science Direct) describing microbes and their metabolites with activity against leishmanial parasites which is the focus of this review. KEY POINTS: • Leishmania affects the poorest regions of the globe • Current treatments for leishmaniasis are toxic and of limited efficacy • Microbial metabolites are potential sources of antileishmania drugs.

Abstract
Despite advancements in the areas of omics and chemoinformatics, potent novel biotherapeutic molecules with new modes of actions are needed for leishmaniasis. The socioeconomic burden of leishmaniasis remains alarming in endemic regions. Currently, reports from existing endemic areas such as Nepal, Iran, Brazil, India, Sudan and Afghanistan, as well as newly affected countries such as Peru, Bolivia and Somalia indicate concerns of chemoresistance to the classical antimonial treatment. As a result, effective antileishmanial agents which are safe and affordable are urgently needed. Natural products from both flora and fauna have contributed immensely to chemotherapeutics and serve as vital sources of new chemical agents. This review focuses on a systematic cross-sectional view of all characterized anti-leishmanial compounds from natural sources over the last decade. Furthermore, IC50/EC50, cytotoxicity and suggested mechanisms of action of some of these natural products are provided. The natural product classification includes alkaloids, terpenes, terpenoids, and phenolics. The plethora of reported mechanisms involve calcium channel inhibition, immunomodulation and apoptosis. Making available enriched data pertaining to bioactivity and mechanisms of natural products complement current efforts geared towards unraveling potent leishmanicides of therapeutic relevance.

Abstract
Microorganisms in nature are highly diverse biological resources, which can be explored for drug discovery. Some countries including Brazil, Columbia, Indonesia, China, and Mexico, which are blessed with geographical uniqueness with diverse climates and display remarkable megabiodiversity, potentially provide microorganismal resources for such exploitation. In this review, as an example of drug discovery campaigns against tropical parasitic diseases utilizing microorganisms from such a megabiodiversity country, we summarize our past and on-going activities toward discovery of new antimalarials. The program was held in a bilateral collaboration between multiple Indonesian and Japanese research groups. In order to develop a new platform of drug discovery utilizing Indonesian bioresources under an international collaborative scheme, we aimed at: 1) establishment of an Indonesian microbial depository, 2) development of robust enzyme-based and cell-based screening systems, and 3) technology transfer necessary for screening, purification, and identification of antimalarial compounds from microbial culture broths. We collected, characterized, and deposited Indonesian microbes. We morphologically and genetically characterized fungi and actinomycetes strains isolated from 5 different locations representing 3 Indonesian geographical areas, and validated genetic diversity of microbes. Enzyme-based screening was developed against two validated mitochondrial enzymes from Plasmodium falciparum, dihydroorotate dehydrogenase and malate:quinone oxidoreductase, while cell-based proliferation assay was developed using the erythrocytic stage parasite of 3D7 strain. More than 17 thousands microbial culture extracts were subjected to the enzyme- and cell-based screening. Representative anti-malarial compounds discovered in this campaign are discussed, including a few isolated compounds that have been identified for the first time as anti-malarial compounds. Our antimalarial discovery campaign validated the Indonesian microbial library as a powerful resource for drug discovery. We also discuss critical needs for selection criteria for hits at each stage of screening and hit deconvolution such as preliminary extraction test for the initial profiling of the active compounds and dereplication techniques to minimize repetitive discovery of known compounds.

Abstract
We discovered and identified a series of characteristic substances, including one new polyketide, epicorepoxydon B, of the important pathogenic fungus, Epicoccum sorghinum, of sorghum. The fungal extract and some isolated polyketides are sensitive to a malignant triple-negative breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231. Sorghum (Kaoliang) grain is an important crop with high economic value and several applications. In Taiwan, sorghum has been used in the wine industry, and "Kinmen Kaoliang Liquor" is a well-known Asian brand. Fungal contamination is one of the major threats affecting the production of sorghum grain resulting in economic losses as well as human and animal health problems. Several fungal species can infect sorghum grain and generate some toxic secondary metabolites. Epicoccum sorghinum is one of the major fungal contaminants of sorghum grains and a potent producer of mycotoxins such as tenuazonic acid (TeA). However, except for TeA, few studies focused on chemical compounds produced by this fungus. To explore the potential biological and toxic effects of E. sorghinum, a chemical investigation was carried out on the ethyl acetate extract of the fungus because it showed cytotoxic activity against a triple-negative breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231 (54.82% inhibition at 20 µg/mL). One new polyketide, epicorepoxydon B (1), along with six known compounds including 4,5-dihydroxy-6-(6'-methylsalicyloxy)-2-hydroxymethyl-2-cyclohexenl-one (2), epicorepoxydon A (3), 3-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (4), 6-methylsalicylic acid (5), gentisyl alcohol (6), and 6-(hydroxymethyl)benzene-1,2,4-triol (7) were obtained, and their structures were established by the interpretation of their MS and NMR spectroscopic data. The cytotoxic activity of all isolated polyketides 1-7 was evaluated, and compounds 2, 6, and 7 exhibited potent activities against A549, HepG2, and MDA-MB-231 human cancer cell lines with IC50 value ranging from 1.86 to 18.31 μM. The structure-activity relationship of the isolated compounds was proposed.

Abstract
Trypanosomatids are the causative agents of leishmaniasis and trypanosomiasis, which affect about 20 million people in the world’s poorest countries, leading to 95,000 deaths per year. They are often associated with malnutrition, weak immune systems, low quality housing, and population migration. They are generally recognized as neglected tropical diseases. New drugs against these parasitic protozoa are urgently needed to counteract drug resistance, toxicity, and the high cost of commercially available drugs. Microbial bioprospecting for new molecules may play a crucial role in developing a new generation of antiparasitic drugs. This article reviews the current state of the available literature on chemically defined metabolites of microbial origin that have demonstrated antitrypanosomatid activity. In this review, bacterial and fungal metabolites are presented; they originate from a range of microorganisms, including cyanobacteria, heterotrophic bacteria, and filamentous fungi. We hope to provide a useful overview for future research to identify hits that may become the lead compounds needed to accelerate the discovery of new drugs against trypanosomatids.

Abstract
Covering: up to April 2020Fungal benzene carbaldehydes with salicylaldehydes as predominant representatives carry usually hydroxyl groups, prenyl moieties and alkyl side chains. They are found in both basidiomycetes and ascomycetes as key intermediates or end products of various biosynthetic pathways and exhibit diverse biological and pharmacological activities. The skeletons of the benzene carbaldehydes are usually derived from polyketide pathways catalysed by iterative fungal polyketide synthases. The aldehyde groups are formed by direct PKS releasing, reduction of benzoic acids or oxidation of benzyl alcohols.

Abstract
One new epoxydon ester (1) and a new benzolactone derivative (2), along with four known compounds (3-6), were isolated from the insect-associated fungus Phoma sp. Their structures were confirmed by extensive MS and NMR spectroscopic analysis and their absolute configurations were determined by a combination of modified Mosher method and Mo2(OCOCH3)4-induced electronic circular dichroism (ECD) experiments. Compounds 1 and 5 were revealed to have potent antioxidant activities, which were approximate to the potency of the positive control trolox. In addition, 1 also exhibited moderate cytotoxic effect against human MGC-803 tumor cell line.[Formula: see text].

Anti-inflammatory, Antiplatelet Aggregation, and Antiangiogenesis Polyketides from Epicoccum sorghinum: Toward an Understating of Its Biological Activities and Potential Applications. ACS OMEGA 2020; 5:11092-11099.

Abstract
The ethyl acetate extract of an endophyte Epicoccum sorghinum exhibited anti-inflammatory activity at a concentration of <10 μg/mL. By bioassay-guided fractionation, one new compound, named epicorepoxydon A (1), and one unusual bioactive compound, 6-(hydroxymethyl)benzene-1,2,4-triol (6), together with six known compounds, were isolated from E. sorghinum. The structures of all isolates were established by spectroscopic analyses. The relative configuration of 1 was deduced by the NOESY spectrum and its absolute configuration was determined by X-ray single-crystal analysis. The biological activities of all isolates were evaluated using four types of bioassays including cytotoxicity, anti-inflammatory, antiplatelet aggregation, and antiangiogenesis activities. Compounds 4 and 6 showed potent anti-inflammatory activity, compound 2 possessed potent antiplatelet aggregation and antiangiogenesis activities, and compound 6 demonstrated antiangiogenesis activity. This fungal species can cause a human hemorrhagic disorder known as onyalai. In this study, we identified the active components with antiplatelet aggregation and antiangiogenesis activities, which may be related to the hemorrhagic disorder caused by this fungus. Moreover, we proposed a biosynthetic pathway of the isolated polyketide secondary metabolites and investigated their structure-activity relationship (SAR). Our results suggested that E. sorghinum is a potent source of biologically active compounds that can be developed as antiplatelet aggregation and anti-inflammatory agents.

Abstract
During investigation of the secondary metabolism of four strains of Penicillium arenicola, two new depsides, arenicolins A (1) and B (2), were isolated and characterized. Their structures were established mainly by analysis of NMR and HRMS data and by comparison with known compounds. These depsides incorporate intriguing structural features, including dual alkyl side chains and a C-glycosyl unit, with 1 also containing an acylated 2-hydroxymethyl-4,5,6-trihydroxycyclohexenone moiety. Although the arenicolins were produced by all strains tested, arenicolin A (1) was obtained using only one of five medium compositions employed, while arenicolin B (2) was produced in all media tested. Neither compound showed antibacterial or antifungal activity, but 1 exhibited cytotoxicity toward mammalian cell lines, including colorectal carcinoma (HCT-116), neuroblastoma (IMR-32), and ductal carcinoma (BT-474), with IC50 values of 7.3, 6.0, and 9.7 μM, respectively.

Diversity and Ecology of Marine Algicolous Arthrinium Species as a Source of Bioactive Natural Products. Mar Drugs 2018; 16:md16120508.

Abstract
In our previous study, all Arthrinium isolates from Sargassum sp. showed high bioactivities, but studies on marine Arthrinium spp. are insufficient. In this study, a phylogenetic analysis of 28 Arthrinium isolates from seaweeds and egg masses of Arctoscopus japonicus was conducted using internal transcribed spacers, nuclear large subunit rDNA, β-tubulin, and translation elongation factor region sequences, and their bioactivities were investigated. They were analyzed as 15 species, and 11 of them were found to be new species. Most of the extracts exhibited radical-scavenging activity, and some showed antifungal activities, tyrosinase inhibition, and quorum sensing inhibition. It was implied that marine algicolous Arthrinium spp. support the regulation of reactive oxygen species in symbiotic algae and protect against pathogens and bacterial biofilm formation. The antioxidant from Arthrinium sp. 10 KUC21332 was separated by bioassay-guided isolation and identified to be gentisyl alcohol, and the antioxidant of Arthrinium saccharicola KUC21221 was identical. These results demonstrate that many unexploited Arthrinium species still exist in marine environments and that they are a great source of bioactive compounds.

Abstract
Two new carbasugar-type metabolites, (1 S,2 R,3 R,4 R,5 R)-2,3,4-trihydroxy-5-methylcyclohexyl-2',5'-dihydroxybenzoate (1) and (1 S,2 S,3 S,4 R,5 R)-4-[(2',5'-dihydroxybenzyl)oxy]-5-methylcyclohexane-1,2,3-triol (2), were isolated from the filamentous fungus Geosmithia langdonii isolated from cotton textiles from Assiut, Egypt. The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated based on comprehensive 1D and 2D NMR and MS data. Compounds 1 and 2 showed antileishmanial activity against Leishmania donovani with IC50 values of 100 and 57 μM, respectively. The (1 S,2 R,3 R,4 R,5 R) absolute configuration of carbasugar 1 was assigned via 2D NMR and experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) data. Similarly, the tentative structure of compound 2 was shown to possess a (1 S,2 S,3 S,4 R,5 R) absolute configuration via comparing its experimental ECD data and the specific rotation with 1 as well as examining the energy-minimized 3D computational models of compounds 1 and 2.

Abstract
Fungi usually contain gene clusters that are silent or cryptic under normal laboratory culture conditions. These cryptic genes could be expressed for a wide variety of bioactive compounds. One of the recent approaches to induce production of such cryptic fungal metabolites is to use histone deacetylases (HDACs) inhibitors. In the present study, the cultures of the marine-derived fungus Penicillium brevicompactum treated with nicotinamide and sodium butyrate were found to produce a lot of phenolic compounds. Nicotinamide treatment resulted in the isolation and identification of nine compounds 1–9. Sodium butyrate also enhanced the productivity of anthranilic acid (10) and ergosterol peroxide (11). The antioxidant as well as the antiproliferative activities of each metabolite were determined. Syringic acid (4), sinapic acid (5), and acetosyringone (6) exhibited potent in vitro free radical scavenging, (IC50 20 to 30 µg/mL) and antiproliferative activities (IC50 1.14 to 1.71 µM) against HepG2 cancer cell line. Furthermore, a pharmacophore model of the active compounds was generated to build up a structure-activity relationship.
