[PMID: 39057430 PMCID: PMC11277891 DOI: 10.3390/md22070321] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2024] [Revised: 07/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Nitrogen heterocycles have drawn considerable attention because of their structurally novel and significant biological activities. Marine-derived fungi, especially the Aspergillus species, possess unique metabolic pathways to produce secondary metabolites with novel structures and potent biological activities. This review prioritizes the structural diversity and biological activities of nitrogen heterocycles that are produced by marine-derived Aspergillus species from January 2019 to January 2024, and their relevant biological activities. A total of 306 new nitrogen heterocycles, including seven major categories-indole alkaloids, diketopiperazine alkaloids, quinazoline alkaloids, isoquinoline alkaloids pyrrolidine alkaloids, cyclopeptide alkaloids, and other heterocyclic alkaloids-are presented in this review. Among these nitrogen heterocycles, 52 compounds had novel skeleton structures. Remarkably, 103 compounds showed various biological activities, such as cytotoxic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, anti-virus, and enzyme-inhibitory activities, and 21 compounds showed potent activities. This paper will guide further investigations into the structural diversity and biological activities of nitrogen heterocycles derived from the Aspergillus species and their potential contributions to the future development of new natural drug products in the medicinal and agricultural fields.

Abstract
Covering: January to the end of December 2022This review covers the literature published in 2022 for marine natural products (MNPs), with 645 citations (633 for the period January to December 2022) referring to compounds isolated from marine microorganisms and phytoplankton, green, brown and red algae, sponges, cnidarians, bryozoans, molluscs, tunicates, echinoderms, the submerged parts of mangroves and other intertidal plants. The emphasis is on new compounds (1417 in 384 papers for 2022), 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. An analysis of NP structure class diversity in relation to biota source and biome is discussed.

Abstract
Natural products, especially fungal secondary metabolites, have been served as valuable sources of drug leads in pharmaceutical industry. Medicinal plants-associated endophytic fungi possess a well-developed secondary metabolism. In this study, chemical investigation on Penicillium ochrochloron YT2022-65, an endophytic fungus associated with Lonicera Japonica, led to the isolation of six structurally diversified indole alkaloids, including a new one, namely peniochroloid A (1), as well as five previously reported alkaloids, flavonoid B (2), brocaeloid C (3), isoroquefortine C (4), roquefortine C (5), and dihydrocarneamide A (6). Their structures, including the absolute configuration of 1, were determined by a combined analysis of HRESIMS, NMR spectroscopic data, and calculation of the optical rotation. Their cytotoxicity against A549, HepG2, MCF-7, and THP-1 cell lines were evaluated in vitro. The new compound 1 was found to possess considerable cytotoxicity against MCF-7 and THP-1 cell lines with IC50 values of 10.2 and 11.0 μM, respectively.
