Abstract
Seven unreported chaetoglobosin-type alkaloids, namely brachaetoglobosin A (1), chaetochalasins BF (2–6) and armochaeglobine C (7), together with the formerly described cytoglobosin C (8) and chaetoglobosin E (9), were obtained from an endophytic fungus Chaetomium sp. UJN-EF006 isolated from the leaves of Vaccinium bracteatum. Their structures were characterized through various spectral techniques including MS, NMR, X-ray crystallography and electronic circular dichroism. Also, this is only the second record of novel chaetochalasin and armochaeglobine skeletons of the cytochalasin super family, after 27 and 10 years of the first report, respectively. Compound 9 showed significant cytotoxic effect against two human tumor cell lines (MDA-MB231 and A549) and was identified as a new type of ferroptosis inducer (toward A549 cells) that could be used as a molecular tool in future related research.
期刊介绍:
Bioorganic Chemistry publishes research that addresses biological questions at the molecular level, using organic chemistry and principles of physical organic chemistry. The scope of the journal covers a range of topics at the organic chemistry-biology interface, including: enzyme catalysis, biotransformation and enzyme inhibition; nucleic acids chemistry; medicinal chemistry; natural product chemistry, natural product synthesis and natural product biosynthesis; antimicrobial agents; lipid and peptide chemistry; biophysical chemistry; biological probes; bio-orthogonal chemistry and biomimetic chemistry.
For manuscripts dealing with synthetic bioactive compounds, the Journal requires that the molecular target of the compounds described must be known, and must be demonstrated experimentally in the manuscript. For studies involving natural products, if the molecular target is unknown, some data beyond simple cell-based toxicity studies to provide insight into the mechanism of action is required. Studies supported by molecular docking are welcome, but must be supported by experimental data. The Journal does not consider manuscripts that are purely theoretical or computational in nature.
The Journal publishes regular articles, short communications and reviews. Reviews are normally invited by Editors or Editorial Board members. Authors of unsolicited reviews should first contact an Editor or Editorial Board member to determine whether the proposed article is within the scope of the Journal.
