RESUMEN
Six previously unreported papulacandins, namely pestiorosins A-F (1-6), were isolated from the fermentation products of the fungus Pestalotiopsis rosea YNJ21 isolated from the fruitbody of Amanita exitialis. The structures of these compounds, along with a known compound called pestiocandin (7), were determined using MS, NMR data, and modified Mosher's method. All compounds exhibited significant antifungal activity against Candida albicans, with MIC values ranging from 0.06 to 2.00 µg/mL. In terms of cytotoxicity assays, compounds 3 and 6 demonstrated moderate inhibitory activity against human breast cancer MCF-7 cells with IC50 values of 24.50 and 16.83 µM, respectively. On the other hand, compound 7 displayed similar levels of inhibitory activity against mice microglial BV2 cells with an IC50 value of 24.51 µM.
RESUMEN
Two new alkenyl phenol derivatives, namely pestalol F (1) and pestalol G (2), along with two known compounds, pestalachloride A (3) and pestalotiopsin J (4), were isolated from the culture of the fungus Pestalotiopsis clavata JSQ 12. The structures of these compounds were primarily elucidated by MS, NMR and specific rotation data analysises. These secondary metabolites of Pestalotiopsis clavata were reported for the first time. Compound 2 displayed interesting cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 cell line with the IC50 value of 29.16 µM, whereas compound 3 exhibited moderate activity towards A549 cell line with the IC50 value of 35.71 µM. The positive control 5-FU showed cytotoxic effects on MCF-7 and A549 cell lines with the respective IC50 values of 26.70 and 26.07 µM. Compounds 1 and 2 displayed mild antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus with MIC values of 128 and 64 µg/mL (MIC of positive control, penicillin, was 0.016 µg/mL), respectively.
