Two new compounds, podogigants A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the culture broth of Podostroma giganteum. This is the first report on the identification of secondary metabolites in P. giganteum. The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated through spectroscopic analysis, including 2D NMR spectroscopy assisted by chemical derivatization, which revealed the presence of farnesyl- and geranyl-hydroquinone structures, respectively. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited no antifungal activity even at a concentration of 64 μg/mL, whereas they potentiated amphotericin B (AmB) activity against several species of fungi. In particular, 1 potentiated AmB activity against C. albicans and R. oryzae by up to 32-fold (MIC value of AmB decreased from 1.0 to 0.032 µg/mL), while 2 potentiated AmB activity against C. albicans by up to 16-fold.
从大秃马勃(Podostroma giganteum)的发酵液中分离得到了两种新的化合物,分别命名为 podogigants A(1)和 B(2)。这是首次报道大秃马勃中次级代谢产物的鉴定。通过光谱分析,包括化学衍生化辅助的 2D NMR 光谱学,阐明了 1 和 2 的结构,分别揭示了法呢基和香叶基对苯二酚结构的存在。化合物 1 和 2 即使在 64μg/mL 的浓度下也没有显示出抗真菌活性,而它们对几种真菌的两性霉素 B(AmB)活性具有增效作用。特别是,1 使 AmB 对白色念珠菌和稻瘟病菌的活性增强了 32 倍(AmB 的 MIC 值从 1.0 降至 0.032μg/mL),而 2 使 AmB 对白色念珠菌的活性增强了 16 倍。
