Relative and absolute stereochemistry of quinadoline B, an inhibitor of lipid droplet synthesis in macrophages

Org Lett. 2008 Nov 20;10(22):5273-6. doi: 10.1021/ol802089p. Epub 2008 Oct 16.

Abstract

New fungal metabolites, designated quinadolines A (1) and B (2), were isolated from culture broth of Aspergillus sp. FKI-1746, and their structures were elucidated by NMR spectroscopy. The complete relative and absolute stereochemistry of 2 was determined by X-ray crystallography and amino acid analysis using a chiral column. Quinadolines moderately inhibited lipid droplet synthesis in mouse macrophages.
