Three new diterpenes, myrocin D (1), libertellenone E (2), and libertellenone F (3), and a new isocoumarin, decarboxyhydroxycitrinone (4), were isolated from the marine fungus Arthrinium sacchari, together with three known compounds (5-7). The structures of 1-4 were elucidated from spectroscopic data (NMR, MS, IR), and the absolute configurations of 1-3 were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The antiangiogenic activity of these compounds was evaluated by measuring their antiproliferation effects on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and human umbilical artery endothelial cells (HUAECs). Compounds 4-7 showed inhibitory activity.
Four novel benzo[j]fluoranthene derivatives, hypoxylonols C (3), D (4), E (5), and F (6), have been isolated from the mushroom Hypoxylon truncatum, together with two known benzo[j]fluoranthene derivatives, hypoxylonols A (1) and B (2). The structures were established by analysis of NMR spectroscopic data and X-ray diffraction data. Compounds 4 and 5 showed antiproliferative activity against HUVECs (human umbilical vein endothelial cells) and HUAECs (human umbilical artery endothelial cells).
The aims of this study were to investigate the role of tyrosine kinase in intracellular signaling and to search for lead compounds with tyrosine kinase inhibitory activity from metabolites of marine-derived fungi. We initially prepared 400 extracts from 200 species of marine fungi and then subjected them to a tyrosine kinase screening assay using human umbilical vein endothelial cell lysate. Tyrosine kinase inhibitory activity was observed among certain metabolites of Hypocrea vinosa. We isolated one known compound, SC2051 (1), as well as two new compounds, hypochromins A (2) and B (3), which have a bis(naphtho-gamma-pyrone) skeleton. Compounds 1-3 showed tyrosine kinase inhibitory activity, with IC(50) values of 42.1, 58.7, and 18.0 microMu, respectively. Furthermore, compounds 1-3 exhibited inhibitory effects on proliferation, migration, and tubule formation.
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.
