Metabolomic investigations focusing on the marine-derived fungus Aspergillus sp. SCSIO F063 have unveiled seven new chlorinated anthraquinones (1-7) related to averantin, together with five known analogues (11-15) when the fungus was fermented using sea salt-containing potato dextrose broth. Through the addition of sodium bromide to the broth, two new brominated anthraquinones (8, 9) and one new nonhalogenated anthraquinone (10) were obtained from the fungal mycelia. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses including MS and 1D and 2D NMR data. One metabolite, 6-O-methyl-7-chloroaveratin (2), displayed inhibition activity against three human tumor cell lines, SF-268, MCF-7, and NCI-H460, with IC(50) values of 7.11, 6.64, and 7.42 μM, respectively.

Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the potential of marine natural products as a resource for pharmaceuticals, focusing on a bacterium (S-1) found in shallow sea sediments.
- Researchers isolated a novel compound (4-(dimethylamino)-1-(2-((4-hydroxybenzoyl)oxy)propyl)pyridin-1-ium) and 15 known cyclic dipeptides from S-1, using NMR and optical rotation for structural analysis.
- The novel compound demonstrated antibacterial activity with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 50 µg/mL, marking it as the first discovered pyridinium derivative and cyclic dipeptides from this marine source.

NF-κB-inducing kinase (NIK) plays a pivotal role in regulating both the canonical and non-canonical NF-κB signaling pathways, driving the expression of proteins involved in inflammation, immune responses, and cell survival. Overactivation of NIK is linked to various pathological conditions, including chronic inflammation, autoimmune diseases, metabolic disorders, and cancer progression. As such, NIK represents a compelling target for therapeutic intervention in these diseases.
