Furanasperterpenes A (1) and B (2) with a novel 6/6/6/6/5 pentacyclic skeleton and a new 11-acetoxy-terretonin E (3), were isolated from the marine-derived Aspergillus terreus GZU-31-1. Their structures were elucidated based on spectroscopic methods, and the absolute configurations were determined by X-ray diffraction and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. A possible biogenetic pathway was proposed. These compounds were evaluated for their lipid-lowering effects in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Furanasperterpene A (1) showed the equivalent activity in reducing TG levels to positive control (berberine) at the concentration of 5 μM.

Two highly oxygenated pentacyclic polyketides with two new carbon skeletons, trichopsistide A () and trichopsistide B (), were isolated from the plant endophyte WZ-196 derived from the leaf of Diels. The structures of these polyketides with full configurations were determined by comprehensive spectroscopic analysis, computer-assisted structure elucidation software, computational calculation, and X-ray crystal diffraction. Among them, represented the first example of an unprecedented 5/6/6/6/5 pentacyclic ketal-containing polyketide pyridine alkaloid, and possessed a novel 6/6/6/6/5 pentacyclic ketal-containing polyketide scaffold fused with an α-pyrone.

Background: Meroterpenoid furanasperterpene A (T2-3) with a novel 6/6/6/6/5 pentacyclic skeleton was isolated from the Aspergillus terreus GZU-31-1. Previously, we showed that T2-3 possessed significant lipid-lowering effects in 3T3-L1 adipocytes at 5 μM concentration. However, its therapeutic effect in metabolic disease and the underlying mechanisms of action remain unclear.

Alstoscholarisine K, an indole alkaloid with eight chiral carbons and featuring a novel 6/5/6/6/6/6/6/5 octacyclic architecture, was found to be specific to the gall-infected leaves of . Its structure was elucidated by spectroscopy, computational analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The unusual highly fused cage-like pyrrolo[1,2-]pyrimidine structure with an additional -CN unit is possibly derived from a combination of monoterpenoid indole and polyamine pathways.
