Abstract
Three new γ-hydroxyl butenolides (1–3), a pair of new enantiomeric spiro-butenolides (4a and 4b), a pair of enantiomeric cyclopentenones (5a new and 5b new natural), and six known compounds (6–11), were isolated from Aspergillus sclerotiorum. Their structures were established by spectroscopic data and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. Two pairs of enantiomers [(+)/(–)-6c and (+)/(–)-6d] obtained from the reaction of 6 with acetyl chloride (AcCl) confirmed that 6 was a mixture of two pairs of enantiomers. In addition, the X-ray data confirmed that 7 was also a racemate. The new metabolites (1−5) were evaluated for their inhibitory activity against cancer and non-cancer cell lines. As a result, compound 1 exhibited moderate cytotoxicity to HL60 and A549 with IC50 values of 6.5 and 8.9 µM, respectively, and weak potency to HL-7702 with IC50 values of 17.6 µM. Furthermore, compounds 1−9 were screened for their antimicrobial activity using the micro-broth dilution method. MIC values of 200 μg/mL were obtained for compounds 2 and 3 towards Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, while compound 8 exhibited a MIC of 50 μ/mL towards Candida albicans.
