  • - The fungal strains identified were Nigrospora sphaerica, Alternaria alternata, and Phialophora sp.
  • - The structures and absolute configurations of these compounds were determined using various methods such as spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and the modified Mosher's approach.

Article Abstract

A pair of new enantiomeric polyketides, (-)- and (+)-nigrosporaol A (1a and 1b), along with one related known compound, (+)-alternarienoic acid (2), were isolated from three endolichenic fungal strains, Nigrospora sphaerica (No.83-1-1-2), Alternaria alternata (No.58-8-4-1), and Phialophora sp.(No.96-1-8-1). Their structures, including the absolute configurations, were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic methods, X-ray diffraction analysis, and the modified Mosher's method.

Daldipyrenones A-C: Caged [6,6,6,6,6] Polyketides Derived from an Endolichenic Fungus 047188.

Org Lett

September 2023

Natural Products Research Institute, College of Pharmacy, Seoul National University, Seoul 08826, Republic of Korea.

Daldipyrenones A-C (-), three unprecedented caged xanthone [6,6,6,6,6] polyketides featuring a spiro-azaphilone unit, were discovered from an endolichenic fungus, 047188. The structures of - were determined by using spectroscopic analysis and chemical derivatization. Daldipyrenones are likely derived by combining a chromane biosynthesis intermediate, 1-(2,6-dihydroxyphenyl)but-2-en-2-one, and a spiro-azaphilone, pestafolide A, via radical coupling or Michael addition to form a bicyclo[2.

(±) Pestalactone D and pestapyrone F, two new isocoumarins from an endolichenic Pestalotiopsis rhododendri.

J Antibiot (Tokyo)

November 2023

CAMS Key Laboratory of Synthetic Biology for Drug Innovation, Institute of Medicinal Biotechnology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College, Tiantan xili No.1, Beijing, 100050, China.

Three isocoumarins, including two new compounds, (±) pestalactone D (1) and pestapyrone F (2), as well as one known compound, pestapyrone D (3), were isolated from the culture of the endolichenic Pestalotiopsis rhododendri LF-19-12. The planar structures of all compounds were elucidated by NMR and MS spectra. And the absolute configurations of 1 were confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, indicative of it as a racemate of 4S/12S and 4R/12R enantiomers.

Adiponectin-synthesis-promoting compounds possess therapeutic potential to treat diverse metabolic diseases, including obesity and diabetes. Phenotypic screening to find adiponectin-synthesis-promoting compounds was performed using the adipogenesis model of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. The extract of the endolichenic fungus 047215 significantly promoted adiponectin production.
