Cytotoxic Pentacyclic and Tetracyclic Aromatic Sesquiterpenes from Phomopsis archeri
摘要:
Three new sesquiterpenes named phomoarcherins A-C (1-3), and four; known compounds,, kampanol A (4), R-mevalonolactone, ergosterol; and ergosterol peroxide, Were isolated from the endophytic fungus Phomopsis archeri. These structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic evidence. The structure and absolute configuration of 1 were confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. of its p-bromobenzoate derivative (la). Compounds 1-4 showed cytotoxicity against five cholangiocarcinoma cell lines (0.1-19.6 mu g/mL), while 1 and 2 exhibited weak cytotoxicity against the KB cell line with IC(50) values of 42.1 and 94 mu g/mL, respectively. In addition, compound 2 showed antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum with an IC(50) value of 079 mu g/mL.
