Abstract
Bacterial infections pose a significant clinical burden on global health. The growing incidence of drug-resistant pathogens highlights the critical necessity to identify and isolate bioactive compounds from marine resources. Marine-derived fungi could provide novel lead compounds against pathogenic bacteria. Due to the particularity of the marine environment, Aspergillus species derived from marine sources have proven to be potent producers of bioactive secondary metabolites and have played a considerable role in advancing drug development. This study reviews the structural diversity and activities against pathogenic bacteria of secondary metabolites isolated from marine-derived Aspergillus species over the past 14 years (January 2010-June 2024), and 337 natural products (including 145 new compounds) were described. The structures were divided into five major categories-terpenoids, nitrogen-containing compounds, polyketides, steroids, and other classes. These antimicrobial metabolites will offer lead compounds to the development and innovation of antimicrobial agents.

Takahashi JA, de Queiroz LL, Vidal DM. A Close View of the Production of Bioactive Fungal Metabolites Mediated by Chromatin Modifiers. Molecules 2024; 29:3536. [PMID: 39124942 PMCID: PMC11314158 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29153536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2024] [Revised: 07/19/2024] [Accepted: 07/25/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Secondary metabolites produced by fungi are well known for their biological properties, which play important roles in medicine. These metabolites aid in managing infections and treating chronic illnesses, thereby contributing substantially to human health improvement. Despite this extensive knowledge, the vast biodiversity and biosynthetic potential of fungi is still largely unexplored, highlighting the need for further research in natural products. In this review, several secondary metabolites of fungal origin are described, emphasizing novel structures and skeletons. The detection and characterization of these metabolites have been significantly facilitated by advancements in analytical systems, particularly modern hyphenated liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. These improvements have primarily enhanced sensitivity, resolution, and analysis flow velocity. Since the in vitro production of novel metabolites is often lower than the re-isolation of known metabolites, understanding chromatin-based alterations in fungal gene expression can elucidate potential pathways for discovering new metabolites. Several protocols for inducing metabolite production from different strains are discussed, demonstrating the need for uniformity in experimental procedures to achieve consistent biosynthetic activation.

Abstract
Two new cyclopiane diterpenes and a new cladosporin precursor, together with four known related compounds, were isolated from the marine sediment-derived fungus Penicillium antarcticum KMM 4670, which was re-identified based on phylogenetic inference from ITS, BenA, CaM, and RPB2 gene regions. The absolute stereostructures of the isolated cyclopianes were determined using modified Mosher's method and quantum chemical calculations of the ECD spectra. The isolation from the natural source of two biosynthetic precursors of cladosporin from a natural source has been reported for the first time. The antimicrobial activities of the isolated compounds against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans as well as the inhibition of staphylococcal sortase A activity were investigated. Moreover, the cytotoxicity of the compounds to mammalian cardiomyocytes H9c2 was studied. As a result, new cyclopiane diterpene 13-epi-conidiogenone F was found to be a sortase A inhibitor and a promising anti-staphylococcal agent.

Abstract
Neuroprotection is one of the important protection methods against neuronal cells and tissue damage caused by neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and multiple sclerosis. Various bioactive compounds produced by medicinal plants can potentially treat central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Apart from these resources, endophytes also produce diverse secondary metabolites capable of protecting the CNS. The bioactive compounds produced by endophytes play essential roles in enhancing the growth factors, antioxidant defence functions, diminishing neuroinflammatory, and apoptotic pathways. The efficacy of compounds produced by endophytic fungi was also evaluated by enzymes, cell lines, and in vivo models. Acetylcholine esterase (AChE) inhibition is frequently used to assess in vitro neuroprotective activity along with cytotoxicity-induced neuronal cell lines. Some of drugs, such as tacrine, donepezil, rivastigmine, galantamine, and other compounds, are generally used as reference standards. Furthermore, clinical trials are required to confirm the role of these natural compounds in neuroprotection efficacy and evaluate their safety profile. This review illustrates the production of various bioactive compounds produced by endophytic fungi and their role in preventing neurodegeneration.

Abstract
This review explores the biological activity and structural diversity of steroids and related isoprenoid lipids, with a particular focus on compounds containing an oxirane ring. These natural compounds are derived from fungi, fungal endophytes, as well as extracts of plants, algae, and marine invertebrates. To evaluate their biological activity, an extensive examination of refereed literature sources was conducted, including in vivo and in vitro studies and the utilization of the QSAR method. Notable properties observed among these compounds include strong anti-inflammatory, antineoplastic, antiproliferative, anti-hypercholesterolemic, antiparkinsonian, diuretic, anti-eczematic, anti-psoriatic, and various other activities. Throughout this review, 3D graphs illustrating the activity of individual steroids are presented, accompanied by images of selected terrestrial or marine organisms. Furthermore, this review provides explanations for specific types of biological activity associated with these compounds. The data presented in this review are of scientific interest to the academic community and carry practical implications in the fields of pharmacology and medicine. By analyzing the biological activity and structural diversity of steroids and related isoprenoid lipids, this review offers valuable insights that contribute to both theoretical understanding and applied research.

Abstract
Introduction Aspergillussydowii is an important filamentous fungus that inhabits diverse environments. However, investigations on the biology and genetics of A. sydowii in subseafloor sediments remain limited. Methods Here, we performed de novo sequencing and assembly of the A. sydowii 29R-4-F02 genome, an isolate obtained from approximately 2.4 km deep, 20-million-year-old coal-bearing sediments beneath the seafloor by employing the Nanopore sequencing platform. Results and Discussion The generated genome was 37.19 Mb with GC content of 50.05%. The final assembly consisted of 11 contigs with N50 of 4.6 Mb, encoding 12,488 putative genes. Notably, the subseafloor strain 29R-4-F02 showed a higher number of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) and distinct genes related to vesicular fusion and autophagy compared to the terrestrial strain CBS593.65. Furthermore, 257 positively selected genes, including those involved in DNA repair and CAZymes were identified in subseafloor strain 29R-4-F02. These findings suggest that A. sydowii possesses a unique genetic repertoire enabling its survival in the extreme subseafloor environments over tens of millions of years.

Abstract
The ocean is a treasure trove of both living and nonliving creatures, harboring incredibly diverse group of organisms. A plethora of marine sourced bioactive compounds are discovered over the past few decades, many of which are found to show antibiofilm activity. These are of immense clinical significance since the formation of microbial biofilm is associated with the development of high antibiotic resistance. Biofilms are also responsible to bring about problems associated with industries. In fact, the toilets and wash-basins also show degradation due to development of biofilm on their surfaces. Antimicrobial resistance exhibited by the biofilm can be a potent threat not only for the health care unit along with industries and daily utilities. Various recent studies have shown that the marine members of various kingdom are capable of producing antibiofilm compounds. Many such compounds are with unique structural features and metabolomics approaches are essential to study such large sets of metabolites. Associating holobiome metabolomics with analysis of their chemical attribute may bring new insights on their antibiofilm effect and their applicability as a substitute for conventional antibiotics. The application of computer-aided drug design/discovery (CADD) techniques including neural network approaches and structured-based virtual screening, ligand-based virtual screening in combination with experimental validation techniques may help in the identification of these molecules and evaluation of their drug like properties.

Abstract
Six new sesquiterpene aminoglycosides, trichaspside F (2) and cyclonerosides A-E (5-9), two new diterpene aminoglycosides, harzianosides A and B (10, 11), and three known sesquiterpenes, trichodermoside (1), cycloneran-3,7,10,11-tetraol (3), and cyclonerodiol (4), have been isolated from the n-butanol extract of Trichoderma sp. SCSIOW21 (Hypocreaceae), a deep-sea-sediment-derived fungus. The structures and relative configurations of the new compounds were determined using spectroscopic techniques and comparisons with those reported in the literature. The absolute configurations of the aglycone part of cyclonerosides A-E (5-9) were tentatively proposed based on optical rotation and biogenic considerations. Cyclonerosides A-E (5-9) represent the first glycosides of cyclonelane-type sesquiterpenes generated from Trichoderma. The NO-production-inhibitory activities were evaluated using macrophage RAW264.7 cells. Among the isolated compounds, trichaspside F (2) and cyclonerosides B-E (6-9) exhibited the strongest NO-production-inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 54.8, 50.7, 57.1, 42.0, and 48.0 µM, respectively, compared to the IC50 value of 30.8 µM for the positive control (quercetin). When tested for anti-fungal activities against several pathogenic fungi, none of the compounds exhibited significant activities at a concentration of 100 µM.

Endres CT, Rigo GV, Loges LA, Landell MF, Silva DB, Macedo AJ, Tasca T. Mass Spectrometry Metabolomics Approach Reveals Anti-Trichomonas vaginalis Scaffolds from Marine Fungi. MARINE BIOTECHNOLOGY (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2022; 24:1014-1022. [PMID: 36102994 DOI: 10.1007/s10126-022-10164-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2022] [Accepted: 09/03/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Trichomoniasis is the most common non-viral sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the world caused by Trichomonas vaginalis. Failures in the treatment with the 5-nitroimidazole class including parasite resistance to metronidazole elicit new alternatives. Marine natural products are sources of several relevant molecules, presenting a variety of metabolites with numerous biological activities. In this work, we evaluated the anti-T. vaginalis activity of fungi associated with marine invertebrates by mass spectrometry-based metabolomics approaches. After screening of six marine fungi, extract from Penicillium citrinum FMPV 15 has shown to be 100% active against T. vaginalis, and the gel permeation column on Sephadex LH-20® yielded twelve organic fractions which five showed to be active. Metabolomics and statistical analyses were performed with all the samples (extract and fractions), and several compounds were suggested to be related to the activity. These components include citrinin, dicitrinin C, citreoisocoumarin, dihydrocitrinone, decarboxycitrinin, penicitrinone C, and others. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of anti-T. vaginalis activity of citrinin was 200 µM. The marine fungi metabolites show potential as new alternatives to overcome drug resistance in T. vaginalis infections.

NATURAL PRODUCTS AND BIOPROSPECTING 2022; 12:26. [PMID: 35831516 PMCID: PMC9279517 DOI: 10.1007/s13659-022-00348-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The Antarctic fungus Cadophora malorum produces previously undescribed cyclic heptapeptides (cadophorin A and B) containing an anthranilic acid residue. The planar structure of these peptides was determined by high-resolution mass spectrometry combined with extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. The absolute configuration of the amino acids was determined by Marfey's method, with HPLC analysis of FDVA (Nα-(2,4-dinitro-5-fluorphenyl)-L-valinamide) derivatives making use of a PFP column. Remarkably, cadophorin 2 possesses both the uncommon D-Ile and D-allo-Ile in its structure. The peptides have metal binding properties as shown by LCMS with post column addition of metal salt solutions. These results were supported by DFT calculations.

Abstract
Six new metabolites, including a pair of inseparable mixtures of secofumitremorgins A (1a) and B (1b), which differed in the configuration of the nitrogen atom, 29-hydroxyfumiquinazoline C (6), 10R-15-methylpseurotin A (7), 1,4,23-trihydroxy-hopane-22,30-diol (10), and sphingofungin I (11), together with six known compounds (2–5 and 8–9), were isolated and identified from the deep-sea sediment-derived fungus Aspergillus fumigatus SD-406. Their structures were determined by detailed spectroscopic analysis of NMR and MS data, chiral HPLC analysis of the acidic hydrolysate, X-ray crystallographic analysis, J-based configuration analysis, and quantum chemical calculations of ECD, OR, and NMR (with DP4+ probability analysis). Among the compounds, 1a/1b represent a pair of novel scaffolds derived from indole diketopiperazine by cleavage of the amide bond following aromatization to give a pyridine ring. Compounds 1, 4, 6, 7, 10 and 11 showed inhibitory activities against pathogenic bacteria and plant pathogenic fungus, with MIC values ranging from 4 to 64 μg/mL.

Abstract
Fungi can synthesize a wealth of secondary metabolites, which are widely used in the exploration of lead compounds of pharmaceutical or agricultural importance. Beauveria, Metarhizium, and Cordyceps are the most extensively studied fungi in which a large number of biologically active metabolites have been identified. However, relatively little attention has been paid to Purpureocillium lilacinum. P. lilacinum are soil-habituated fungi that are widely distributed in nature and are very important biocontrol fungi in agriculture, providing good biological control of plant parasitic nematodes and having a significant effect on Aphidoidea, Tetranychus cinnbarinus, and Aleyrodidae. At the same time, it produces secondary metabolites with various biological activities such as anticancer, antimicrobial, and insecticidal. This review attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of the secondary metabolites of P. lilacinum, with emphasis on the chemical diversity and biological activity of these secondary metabolites and the biosynthetic pathways, and gives new insight into the secondary metabolites of medical and entomogenous fungi, which is expected to provide a reference for the development of medicine and agrochemicals in the future.

Abstract
The review focuses on sulfated steroids that have been isolated from seaweeds, marine sponges, soft corals, ascidians, starfish, and other marine invertebrates. Sulfur-containing steroids and triterpenoids are sourced from sedentary marine coelenterates, plants, marine sediments, crude oil, and other geological deposits. The review presents the pharmacological profile of sulfated steroids, sulfur-containing steroids, and triterpenoids, which is based on data obtained using the PASS program. In addition, several semi-synthetic and synthetic epithio steroids, which represent a rare group of bioactive lipids that have not yet been found in nature, but possess a high level of antitumor activity, were included in this review for the comparative pharmacological characterization of this class of compounds. About 140 steroids and triterpenoids are presented in this review, which demonstrate a wide range of biological activities. Therefore, out of 71 sulfated steroids, thirteen show strong antitumor activity with a confidence level of more than 90%, out of 50 sulfur-containing steroids, only four show strong antitumor activity with a confidence level of more than 93%, and out of eighteen epithio steroids, thirteen steroids show strong antitumor activity with a confidence level of 91% to 97.4%.
