Article Abstract

The culture of in host medium produced seven new guanacastane diterpenoids, psayamin () as an unprecedented 5/7/6/6/6/6/7/5-fused octacyclic spiro scaffold both under liquid and semisolid conditions, psathins A-C () with a 5/7/6 tricyclic backbone by liquid medium, psathins D-E () as the same unprecedented skeletons of 5/6/7/6-fused tetracyclic or 6/7/6 tricyclic structures, and psathin F () with a 5/7/5/6 tetracyclic backbone by semisolid medium. The structures were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analyses and those of and were determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The semisolid culture led to four structure types of the guanacastane diterpenoid. Compound showed antifungal activity against phytopathogen with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 8 μg/mL, while compound showed significant antifungal activity against sp. with an MIC of 2 μg/mL. Compounds and also showed antifeedant activities against the silkworms with the feeding deterrence indices of 50%, at the concentrations of 50 μg/cm. Compound showed significant cytotoxicity with IC at 10.87 ± 0.24-15.96 ± 0.30 μM and anti-acetylcholinesterase activity with IC at 37.3 μM. Also, compound remarkably induced apoptosis of HL-60 at 10, 20 μM in a concentration-dependent manner. The spiral ring of was vital in cytotoxicity and anti-acetylcholinesterase activity. The different media fermented by resulted in the chemical diversity of bioactive guanacastane diterpenoids and potential applications in the agricultural and food functions.

Guanacastane diterpenoids with an unusual 5/7/6 tricyclic skeleton mainly produced by basidiomycete fungi represent a structurally intriguing class of natural products. While the chemical synthesis of several members has been achieved, the biochemical and genetic basis of their biosynthesis remain unknown. Herein, we present the identification and characterization of two crucial enzymes in the biosynthesis of guanacastane diterpenoids in .
