AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate if endophytic fungi could produce nigranoic acid and its derivatives.
- Out of 426 fungi tested, SWUKD3.1610 was identified as producing nigranoic acid, confirmed through various chemical analyses.
- Additionally, the researchers isolated a new compound, 7-schinalactone C, and highlighted the potential of endophytic fungi in enhancing the quality of medicinal plants.
Article Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine whether endophytic fungi, isolated from produce nigranoic acid and its highly oxygenated derivatives. From the 426 endophytic fungi screened, SWUKD3.1610 was detected to have a component with the same TLC value and HPLC retention time as authentic nigranoic acid. This component was further confirmed as nigranoic acid by investigating the chemical composition of the fungal extracts. Besides (), one new triterpenoid, 7- schinalactone C (), and two known minor compounds were isolated and characterized by HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic methods. Our study indicates that endophytic fungus may play an important role in increasing the quality of the crude drugs from Chinese medicinal plant . This study is the first to isolate, characterize, and identify schitriterpenes-producing .

As a successful anti-tumor drug target, the family of histone deacetylases (HDACs) is also a critical player in immune response, making the research of anti-inflammatory HDAC inhibitors an attractive new focus. In this report, triterpenoids nigranoic acid (NA) and manwuweizic acid (MA) were identified as HDAC inhibitors through docking-based virtual screening and enzymatic activity assay. A series of derivatives of NA and MA were synthesized and assessed for their biological effects.

Fungal endophytes live widely inside plant tissues and some have been revealed to provide benefits to their host and ecological environment. Considering the fact that endophytes are engaged in remarkably stable long-term interactions with the host for their whole life cycle, it's conceivable that both partners have substantial influence on each other's metabolic processes. Here, we investigated the fermented products of an endophytic fungus SWUKD3.
