Three new α-pyrones, nocapyrones E-G (1-3), and three new diketopiperazine derivatives, nocazines A-C (4-6), together with a new oxazoline compound, nocazoline A (7), were isolated from the marine-derived actinomycete Nocardiopsis dassonvillei HR10-5. The new structures of 1-7 were determined by spectroscopic analysis, X-ray single-crystal diffraction, CD spectra, and modified Mosher and Marfey methods. Compounds 1-3 showed modest antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis with MIC values of 26, 14, and 12 μM, respectively.

Prenylated indole diketopiperazines represent a diverse array of alkaloids with complex chemical scaffolds and with a wide range of biological activities. Aiming to discover bioactive metabolites with structural novelty, genomic annotation in association with the MS/MS-based molecular networking demonstrated a deep-sea derived fungus Aspergillus puulaauensis F77 containing a profile of diketopiperazines. Targeted separation of the cultured fungus led to the isolation of 19 undescribed austamide-type diketopiperazines namely versicoines A-S.

Hydrothermal pretreatment (HTP) is used to increase the biochemical methane potential (BMP) of food waste (FW). The formation of melanoidins will seriously affect the microbial activity and methane production during anaerobic digestion (AD). Based on spectroscopic methods, similarities and heterogeneity of melanoidins from different sources were investigated, and the wide peak band (260-350 nm) in the ultraviolet region and the differences of amide groups of fructose-amino acid system, fructose-casein system and FW system were revealed.

A new class of cyclic dipeptide-isatin hybrids was synthesized using 2,5-diketopiperazine and various isatin derivatives bearing flexible chains and extended aromatic rings in a double Knoevenagel condensation process. These new series demonstrate high solubility and good thermal stability with decomposition temperatures exceeding 370 °C, especially the molecular design with efficient space-filling (CI5 and CI6) stabilized columnar liquid crystalline phase. The hole and electron carrier mobility of the CI5 compound, measured using the space charge limited current (SCLC) technique, were found to be 9.

Liupao tea is a postfermented dark tea with hypolipidemic activity. Research on the active substances in Liupao tea has primarily focused on those derived from the tea itself, overlooking the secondary metabolites produced by its predominant fungus, . In this study, CPCC 401251, the predominant strain found in Liupao tea under investigation, was isolated and analyzed.

Cryptococcosis is a fungal infection for which treatment relies on old antifungal agents usually leading to drawbacks such as high toxicity and mainly low efficiency since drug resistance of microorganisms is strongly widespread. The discovery of new antifungal agents is urgent and investigations about underexplored Natural Product (NP) can yield the necessary outcomes to guide the discovery of new prototypes to anti-cryptococcal molecules development. In this scenario, an integrated strategy involving metabolomic data analysis, biological assessement and genome mining of P.
