Elsinopirins A–D, Decalin Polyketides from the Ascomycete Elsinoё pyri
نویسندگان
چکیده
In course of our screening for new secondary metabolites from ecological niche specialized, phytopathogenic fungi, the plant pathogen Elsinoё pyri, strain 2203C, was found to produce four novel compounds (1-4), which were named elsinopirins A-D, in addition to the known metabolite elsinochrome A (5). After isolation by preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), their structures, including relative stereochemistry, were elucidated by 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS) data. Finally, absolute stereochemistry was assigned by chemical shifts of Mosher's esters (α-methoxy-α-trifluoromethylphenylacetic acid; MTPA) derivatives of elsinopirin B (2). The compounds were found to be devoid of significant antibacterial, antifungal, and cytotoxic activities.

Total synthesis of myceliothermophins C, D, and E.
The total synthesis of cytotoxic polyketides myceliothermophins E (1), C (2), and D (3) through a cascade-based cyclization to form the trans-fused decalin system is described. The convergent synthesis delivered all three natural products through late-stage divergence and facilitated unambiguous C21 structural assignments for 2 and 3 through X-ray crystallographic analysis, which revealed an in...

The new polyketides leptosphaerins A-G (1-7) and the known compounds monodictysin B (8), 2-(2,6-dihydroxybenzoyl)-3-hydroxy-5-methylbenzoic acid (9), and 2-(2,6-dihydroxy-4-methylbenzoyl)-6-hydroxybenzoic acid (10) have been isolated from solid cultures of the ascomycete fungus Leptosphaeria sp. The absolute configurations of compounds 1, 2, and 6 were assigned using the modified Mosher method,...
متن کاملFunctional Analysis of the Fusarielin Biosynthetic Gene Cluster.
Fusarielins are polyketides with a decalin core produced by various species of Aspergillus and Fusarium. Although the responsible gene cluster has been identified, the biosynthetic pathway remains to be elucidated. In the present study, members of the gene cluster were deleted individually in a Fusarium graminearum strain overexpressing the local transcription factor. The results suggest that a...

Five new polyketides, trichocladinols D-H (1-5) with dioxatricyclic (1-3) and oxabicyclic (4 and 5) skeletons, and the known massarilactone C (6) were isolated from the solid-substrate fermentation cultures of the ascomycete fungus Trichocladium opacum. The structures of 1-5 were determined mainly by NMR experiments, and 1, 3, and 4 were confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The absolute configur...
