Seven known echinulin-related indolediketopiperazine alkaloids (-) were isolated from the Vietnamese sediment-derived fungus . Using chiral HPLC, the enantiomers of cryptoechinuline B () were isolated as individual compounds for the first time. (+)-Cryptoechinuline B () exhibited neuroprotective activity in 6-OHDA-, paraquat-, and rotenone-induced in vitro models of Parkinson's disease. (-)-Cryptoechinuline B () and neoechinulin C () protected the neuronal cells against paraquat-induced damage in a Parkinson's disease model. Neoechinulin B () exhibited cytoprotective activity in a rotenone-induced model, and neoechinulin () showed activity in the 6-OHDA-induced model.

Metabolic blockade-based genome mining of the marine sediment-derived SCSIO 07745 led to the discovery of 11 novel aminoquinolinone alkaloids, oxazoquinolinones A-J (-), characterized by an oxazolidone[3,2-α]quinoline-5,8-dione scaffold, and oxazoquinolinone K (), featuring an unprecedented fused 6/6/6/5 tetracyclic core ring system. Additionally, 5 new biosynthetic intermediates or shunt products (-) and a known metabolite sannanine () were identified. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses and a comparison of electronic circular dichroism and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Technology Innovation Center for Exploitation of Marine Biological Resources, Third Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources, Xiamen 361005, People's Republic of China. Electronic address:

Two undescribed 3,5-dimethylorsellinic acid (DMOA) derived meroterpenoids, namely pancosterpenoids A (1) and B (2), were discovered from the EtOAc extract of the deep-sea sediment-derived fungus Penicillium pancosmium A6A. The gross structures were established by detailed analysis of the spectroscopic data (NMR and HRESIMS spectra), while their absolute configurations were resolved by comparing the experimental and calculated ECD data as well as X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis. Pancosterpenoid A (1) was the first representative of DMOA-derived meroterpenoids possessing a 6/6/6/5/5 pentacyclic system, while pancosterpenoid B (2) belongs to a class of rare 13-nor-citreohybridone meroterpenoids.
