Bioactive Metabolites from the Endophytic Fungus Stemphylium globuliferum Isolated from Mentha pulegium

Abstract: The endophytic fungus Stemphylium globuliferum was isolated from stem tissues of the Moroccan medicinal plant Mentha pulegium. Extracts of the fungus, which was grown on solid rice medium, exhibited considerable cytotoxicity when tested in vitro against L5178Y cells. Chemical investigation yielded five new secondary metabolites, alterporriol G (4) and its atropisomer alterporriol H (5), altersolanol K (11), altersolanol L (12), stemphypyrone (13), and the known compounds 6-O-methylalaternin (1), macrosporin (2… Show more

“…Eight compounds were isolated from this fungal strain, including two alterporriol-type dimers, the relative and absolute configurations of which were established by using spectral and theoretical methods. The novel compound, alterporriol S ( 1 ), was the first member of alterporriols with a unique C-10−C-2′ linkage [20,22,23,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33]. Anthranoid dimers consisting of such a coupling type could only be found in a small population of terrestrial plants [14,15,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43] and marine animal [44]; this was the first report of a fungus origin.…”

“…Endophytic fungi are a very diverse polyphyletic group of microorganisms; they can thrive asymptomatically in the tissues of plants aboveground as well as belowground, including stems, leaves and/or roots [26]. Many endophytes have the potential to synthesize various bioactive metabolites that may directly or indirectly be used as therapeutic agents against numerous diseases [3,19,21,[27][28][29]. Occasionally and usually hiting major buck, endophytes that produce host plant secondary metabolites with therapeutic value or potentials have been discovered; some examples include paciltaxel (also known as taxol) [9] and podophyllotoxin [17,30].…”
