Chemical exploration of the total extract derived from Epicoccum nigrum Ann-B-2, an endophyte associated with Annona squamosa fruits, afforded two new metabolites, epicoccofuran A (1) and flavimycin C (2), along with four known compounds namely, epicocconigrone A (3), epicoccolide B (4), epicoccone (5) and 4,5,6-trihydroxy-7-methyl-1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran (6). Structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated using extensive 1D and 2D NMR along with HR-ESI-MS. Flavimycin C (2) was isolated as an epimeric mixture of its two diastereomers 2a and 2b. The new compounds 1 and 2 displayed moderate activity against B. subtilis, whereas compounds (2, 3, 5, and 6) showed significant antiproliferative effects against a panel of seven different cancer cell lines with IC values ranging from 1.3 to 12 µM.
从与番荔枝果实相关的内生真菌青霉菌属(Ann-B-2)的总提取物中进行化学探索,得到了两种新的代谢产物,即 epicoccofuran A(1)和 flavimycin C(2),以及四种已知化合物,即 epicocconigrone A(3)、epicoccolide B(4)、epicoccone(5)和 4,5,6-三羟基-7-甲基-1,3-二氢异苯并呋喃(6)。通过广泛的 1D 和 2D NMR 以及 HR-ESI-MS 确定了分离化合物的结构。flavimycin C(2)作为其两个非对映异构体 2a 和 2b 的外消旋混合物被分离出来。新化合物 1 和 2 对枯草芽孢杆菌显示出中等的活性,而化合物(2、3、5 和 6)对七种不同的癌细胞系显示出显著的抗增殖作用,IC 值范围为 1.3 至 12 μM。
