An highly quaternary and unprecedented dispiro compound, verrulactone C, with the known compound, altenuisol, were isolated from a culture broth of the fungal strain Penicillium verruculosum F375 and their structures were established by various spectral analysis. Verrulactone C and altenuisol showed FabI-selective inhibition. Especially altenuisol had the high correlation between FabI-inhibition and whole cell antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA with MICs of 8-32μg/mL.
从真菌Penicillium verruculosum F375 的发酵液中分离得到一个高度四级且前所未有的双螺环化合物 verrulactone C 和已知化合物 altenuisol,通过各种光谱分析确定了它们的结构。Verrulactone C 和 altenuisol 对 FabI 具有选择性抑制作用。特别是 altenuisol 对金黄色葡萄球菌和耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)的 FabI 抑制作用与全细胞抗菌活性之间具有高度相关性,MIC 值为 8-32μg/mL。
