Three p-terphenyl metabolites (1-3), three indole-diterpenoids (4-6), an herbicide sesquiterpene (7), a flavonoid (8), and five other small molecules containing nitrogen (9-13) were isolated from the medicinal insect (Periplaneta americana)-derived endophytic Aspergillus taichungensis SMU01. Their chemical structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data and quantum chemical computational methods. Biological activity of these isolates in the differentiation of mouse CD4 T cell subsets was evaluated. Importantly, metabolites 2 targeting JAK-STAT signaling pathway could hold potential benefits in maintaining peripheral immune homeostasis and alleviating the progression of autoimmune diseases.

The exploration of new pharmacological compounds from endophytic fungi offers infinite possibilities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of extracts from the leaves of and five of its endophytic fungi and investigate the chemical diversity of the secondary metabolites produced. Isolated, purified, and molecularly identified endophytes and plant leaves were subjected to ethyl acetate extraction.

Nidustrin A (1), the first cysteine-retained emestrin featuring a unique sulfur-containing 18-membered macrocyclic lactone, along with four biogenetically related compounds (2-5), and one known analogue secoemestrin C (6), were isolated from the large-scale culture of Aspergillus nidulans, an endophytic fungus derived from the Whitmania pigra. Compounds 2 and 3 represent the second examples of noremestrin besides the previously reported noremestrin A, and the single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of compound 2 provided solid evidence for the intriguing skeleton of noremestrin. Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic data, electronic circular dichroism calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Article Synopsis
- The ethyl acetate extract from the endophytic fungus Aspergillus terreus found in Artemisia arborescens L. led to the discovery of five new compounds, asperterreunolides A-E, along with a known metabolite, butyrolactone IV.
- Using advanced spectroscopic techniques, the researchers determined the structures and the absolute configurations of these metabolites.
- All isolated compounds exhibited significant cytotoxic effects against certain cancer cell lines, and molecular docking studies suggested their potential mechanism of action as inhibitors of type IIA topoisomerase.
