TL;DR

Antifungal evaluation against the phytopathogen Colletotrichum gloeosporioides demonstrated that compounds 1 and 3 exhibited significant inhibitory activity, with EC50 values of 32.77 ± 1.12 μg/mL and 42.81 ± 1.01 μg/mL, respectively, both outperforming the positive control carbendazim.

Abstract

Chemical investigation of the endophytic fungus Aspergillus sp. FH-1 from Valeriana officinalis L., guided by GNPS molecular networking, afforded six compounds. These included two rare open-chain butenolides, designated as terrusnolides D (1) and F (2), together with four known analogues: terrusnolide A (3), versiol (4), decumbenone A (5), and decumbenone B (6). Their structures were unequivocally determined through extensive spectroscopic methods (HRESIMS, 1D/2D NMR, and ECD). Antifungal evaluation against the phytopathogen Colletotrichum gloeosporioides demonstrated that compounds 1 and 3 exhibited significant inhibitory activity, with EC50 values of 32.77 ± 1.12 μg/mL and 42.81 ± 1.01 μg/mL, respectively, both outperforming the positive control carbendazim.

Discovery of sugarnitriles A and B, and structural reassignment of SF-2140, from a sugarcane endophytic actinomycete Amycolatopsis sp. JS-O27

Three rare cyano-substituted indole N-glycosides, SF-2140 (1) and its two previously undescribed derivatives, sugarnitriles A (2) and B (3), were isolated from a sugarcane endophytic actinomycete Amycolatopsis sp. JS-O27. The planar structures of 1–3 were established by HRESIMS data and detailed 1D/2D NMR spectroscopic...

Six undescribed sesquiterpenoids from the endophytic fungus Irpex lacteus: Their antifungal and inhibitory activities against Setaria viridis.

Twelve sesquiterpenoids, comprising six new compounds (1-6) and six known compounds (7-12), were isolated from the endophytic fungus Irpex lacteus derived from Castanea mollissima Blume. Structural elucidation was achieved through a combination of spectroscopy, ECD calculations, and X-ray crystallography. These compoun...

Structurally diverse indole alkaloids from an endolichenic fungus Aspergillus sp. with antiproliferative activity against non-small cell lung cancer cells.

Chemical investigation of the endolichenic fungus Aspergillus sp. TJ403-YJ22 led to the isolation and characterization of twelve new indole alkaloids, asperkaloids A-L (1-12). Compounds 1-10 represent non-paspaline-type indole-diterpenoids, whereas 11 and 12 are polyketide-indole hybrids. Notably, compounds 1 and 2 pos...

Chemical Constituents of the Endophytic Fungus Penicillium steckii HJT-A-10 from Rhodiola tibetica and Their Anti-Inflammatory Activities

Chemical examination of Penicillium steckii HJT-A-10, an endophytic fungus derived from Rhodiola tibetica, led to the isolation of ten metabolites. Structural elucidation by spectroscopic methods revealed that two of these were previously unreported compounds (1 and 2), though the absolute stereochemistry of 2 remained...
