Abstract
A new polyketide, cladoic acid, was isolated from a fungus of the genus Cladosporium. The structure of the highly oxygenated trans-decalin ring with an all-E triene side chain was elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis. The unique chair/twist-boat conformation of the trans-decalin core and the flexibility of the B-ring were demonstrated by computer-aided conformational analysis. Cladoic acid was active against Trypanosoma cruzi and inhibited the proliferation of amastigotes and epimastigotes with IC50 values of 27 and 46 μM, respectively, but it did not show any appreciable activity against P388 murine leukemia cells, bacteria, or fungi, indicating it is a potential candidate for drug development against Chagas disease.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Natural Products invites and publishes papers that make substantial and scholarly contributions to the area of natural products research. Contributions may relate to the chemistry and/or biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds or the biology of living systems from which they are obtained.
Specifically, there may be articles that describe secondary metabolites of microorganisms, including antibiotics and mycotoxins; physiologically active compounds from terrestrial and marine plants and animals; biochemical studies, including biosynthesis and microbiological transformations; fermentation and plant tissue culture; the isolation, structure elucidation, and chemical synthesis of novel compounds from nature; and the pharmacology of compounds of natural origin.
When new compounds are reported, manuscripts describing their biological activity are much preferred.
