Pyrroloisoquinolines from Nicotiana tabacum Derived Endophytic Fungus Aspergillus puniceus and its Bioactivity
摘要
Two new pyrroloisoquinolines, 6-methoxy-3-methyl-5,10-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-b]isoquinolin-7-ol (1) and 6,8-dimethoxy-3-methyl-5,10-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-b]isoquinoline (2), together with five known pyrroloisoquinolines (3–7) were isolated from the Nicotiana tabacum-derived endophytic fungus Aspergillus puniceus. Their structures were determined by means of HR-ESI-MS and extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic studies. Compounds 1 and 2 were tested for their anti-SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) activity. The results showed that compounds 1 and 2 exhibited potential anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity with IC50 of 16.2 μM and 19.4 μM for the Delta strain and 20.8 μM for the Omicron BA.1 strain, respectively. In addition, the anti-fungi activity test revealed that compounds 1 and 2 showed obvious anti-Gibberella cichoracearum (DC.) (the main pathogen of tobacco powdery mildew disease) activity with an inhibition rate of 56.8% ± 4.8 and 62.4% ± 5.2 compared with the negative control, respectively.
