Bioactive Isocoumarins Isolated from the Endophytic Fungus Microdochium bolleyi
摘要:
Three new isocoumarin derivatives (2-4) were isolated together with monocerin (1) from Microdochium bolleyi, an endophytic fungus from Fagonia cretica, a herbaceous plant of the semiarid coastal regions of Gomera. Compounds 2 and 3 are both 12-oxo epimers of 1, and 4 is a ring-opened derivative of 1. The structures were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analysis and comparison with reported data. The absolute configurations were determined by a modified Mosher's method. Compounds 1, 3, and 4 showed good antifungal, antibacterial, and antialgal activities against Microbotryum violaceum, Escherichia coli, Bacillus megaterium, and Chlorella fusca. Compound 2 was moderately antifungal and antialgal.
Stereoselective oxylactonization of ortho-alkenylbenzoate with chiral hypervalent iodine is applied to the asymmetricsynthesis of 4-oxyisochroman-1-one polyketide metabolites including 4-hydroxymellein (1), a derivative of fusarentin 2, monocerin (3), and an epimer of monocerin epi-3.
