The ascomycete Dichotomomyces cejpii was isolated from the marine sponge Callyspongia cf. C. flammea. Three new steroids (1-3), two of which are present as glycosides, with an untypical pattern of carbon-carbon double bounds, were obtained from fungal extracts, as well as the known xanthocillin X dimethyl ether (4). Compounds 2 and 4 were evaluated in an Alzheimer's disease cellular assay and found capable of preventing the enhanced production of amyloid β-42 in Aftin-5 treated cells. Aβ-42 lowering agents are considered as candidates for the treatment of neurodegenerative Alzheimer's disease.
子囊菌Dichotomomyces cejpii是从海洋海绵Callyspongia cf. C. flammea中分离得到的。从真菌提取物中获得了三种新的甾体化合物(1 - 3),其中两种以糖苷形式存在,具有不典型的碳 - 碳双键模式,还得到了已知的黄青霉素X二甲醚(4)。化合物2和4在阿尔茨海默病细胞试验中进行了评估,发现它们能够阻止在Aftin - 5处理的细胞中淀粉样β - 42的过量产生。降低Aβ - 42的药物被认为是治疗神经退行性阿尔茨海默病的候选药物。
