A new polyene compound (1) and a new diketopiperazine (2), as well as three known compounds (3-5), were isolated from the Antarctic marine-derived fungus Penicillium crustosum HDN153086. The structures of 1-5 were deduced based on MS, NMR and TD-DFT calculations of specific ECD spectra. These compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against K562 cell line and only compound 2 exhibited cytotoxicity against K562 cell, with IC value of 12.7 μM.
Five new anthraquinone derivatives, auxarthrols D–H (1–5), along with two known analogues (6–7), were obtained from the culture of the marine-derived fungus Sporendonema casei. Their structures, including absolute configurations, were established on the basis of NMR, HRESIMS, and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopic techniques. Among them, compound 4 represents the second isolated anthraquinone derivative with a chlorine atom, which, with compound 6, are the first reported anthraquinone derivatives with anticoagulant activity. Compounds 1 and 3 showed cytotoxic activities with IC50 values from 4.5 μM to 22.9 μM, while compounds 1, 3–4, and 6–7 showed promising antibacterial activities with MIC values from 12.5 μM to 200 μM. In addition, compound 7 was discovered to display potential antitubercular activity for the first time.
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.
