A copper coordination compound ZZF51(A) named bis(5-butyl-2-pyridinecarboxylato-N1,O2)-copper, the first time found in the nature, was isolated from a marine endophytic fungus Fusarium sp. ZZF51 from the South China Sea coast. Its structure was elucidated using spectroscopic methods and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The antimicrobial cytotoxicity experiments exhibited that ZZF51(A) had mutagenicity activities against four aerobic reference strains Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella enteritidis with respective MIC values of 12.5, 25, 12.5, and 50 µg/mL. The anti-cancer tests showed that the compound had strong inhibitory activities against three human cancer lines KB, KBv200, and HepG2 with IC 50 values of 3.54, 3.68 and 25.12 µg/mL respectively. In the course of investigating the source of ZZF51(A) in biomass, it was found that the output of ZZF51(A) was largely influenced by the amount of CuCl 2 in the liquid medium, and the fungus (No. ZZF51) had two notable characteristics: endurance of high concentration Cu(II) ions and biosorption of Cu(II) ions.
A new natural product, named phomopsin A, 1-(meta-hydroxyphenyl)-4-hydroxy-3-isoquinolone (1), together with two known compounds cytochalasin H (2) and glucosylceramide (3), was isolated from the mangrove endophytic fungus Phomopsis sp. (ZZF08) obtained from the South China Sea coast. The structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR experiments including COSY, HMQC, and HMBC. According to NMR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, it was found that some assignments about (1)H and (13)C NMR data for cytochalasin H (2) were probably uncorrected in the previous reports. In our cytotoxicity assays, compound 1 showed moderate cytotoxicity toward KB cells with IC(50) at 28.0 microg ml(-1) and KBv200 cells with IC(50) at 16.8 microg ml(-1), and compound 2 exhibited strong cytotoxicity toward KB cells and KBv200 cells with IC(50) less than 1.25 microg ml(-1).
Two new diaryl ethers, named phomopside A (1) and B (2), together with known excelsione (3) were isolated from the mangrove endophytic fungus Phomopsis sp. (ZZF08) obtained from the South China Sea coast. The structure of 1 was elucidated by NMR spectroscopy and confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Compounds 2 and 3 were identified by NMR spectroscopy and comparing the spectroscopic data with literature values. In addition, the plausible biogenetic path of 1, 2 and 3 is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
