Abstract
Nine new ergosteroids (1–9) and seven known ones (10–16) were isolated from Talaromyces adpressus. Their structures and absolute configurations were determined by the interpretation of NMR spectroscopic data, HRESIMS, ECD calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Structurally, compound 1 was an ergosteroid with two epoxy and a 3α-OH group at ring A, while compounds 8 and 9 had a contracted ring A with a peroxy bridge between C-3 and C-9, which were reported for the first time. Compounds 2–6, 9, 11, and 15 displayed cytotoxic activities with IC50 values ranging from 0.4 to 32 μM, and compound 7 exhibited an immunosuppressive effect against LPS-induced B lymphocyte proliferation with an IC50 value of 8.6 μM. The structure–activity relationships of these compounds are briefly discussed.
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.
