Two Novel Peniphenone Derivatives with Distinct Stereoconfigurations from Ascidian-Derived Fungus Diaporthe sp. SYSU-MS4722 and Their Anti-Fibrotic Activities
摘要
Peniphenone E (1) and F (2), two novel peniphenone derivatives with a unique benzannulated 6,6-spiroketal skeleton containing the clavatol units, were isolated through genome mining of a clavatol gene cluster from the ascidian-associated fungus Diaporthe sp. SYSU-MS4722. Their structures, including the absolute configurations, were determined by extensive spectroscopic methods (UV, IR, HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR data), ECD calculations and gauge-independent atomic orbital (GIAO) NMR calculations. Biological evaluation demonstrated that both compounds exhibit anti-fibrotic activities, with EC50 values of 36.8 and 65.9 µmol/L for peniphenones E (1) and F (2), respectively.
