Article Synopsis
- Two new furanone-containing compounds, linfuranones B and C, were discovered from a plant-associated actinomycete called Sphaerimonospora.
- Their structures were analyzed using NMR and MS techniques, with their configurations determined through various chemical methods.
- Both linfuranones B and C promoted the differentiation of preadipocytes into mature fat cells at concentrations of 20-40 μM, without causing any cell toxicity.
Two new compounds, robillafuran and (+)-robillapyrone, were isolated from the culture extract of a fungal strain of Robillarda along with (+)-monascuspyrone. The absolute configuration of (+)-robillapyrone and (+)-monascuspyrone was determined by ECD calculation. These three compounds showed preadipocyte differentiation activity at 10-40 μM.

The structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis using NMR and MS, and the absolute configurations were established by using Marfey's method and chiral HPLC analysis.
