Abstract
Four undescribed meroterpenoids, peniclactone D (1) and penichrodrimanins A−C (5−7), along with five known analogues (2−4, 8, and 9), were isolated from the fungus Penicillium sp. GDGJ-285. Their structures and absolute configurations were established on the basis of spectroscopic analyses and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 represents a highly oxygenated 6/5/6/5/5/5 polycyclic ring system, and 7 is a chrodrimanin-type meroterpenoid with a rare ether linkage between rings A and B via C-3 and C-9. Compound 5 exhibited notable inhibitory effect on nitric oxide (NO) production in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells, with the IC50 value of 18.50 ± 1.26 μM compared to dexamethasone (33.61 ± 4.45 μM). The further investigation indicated that 5 could suppress LPS-induced TNF-α, IL-1β, and iNOS expression via inhibition of NF-κB signaling pathway.
期刊介绍:
Phytochemistry is a leading international journal publishing studies of plant chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics, structure and bioactivities of phytochemicals, including ''-omics'' and bioinformatics/computational biology approaches. Phytochemistry is a primary source for papers dealing with phytochemicals, especially reports concerning their biosynthesis, regulation, and biological properties both in planta and as bioactive principles. Articles are published online as soon as possible as Articles-in-Press and in 12 volumes per year. Occasional topic-focussed special issues are published composed of papers from invited authors.
