Abstract

Eight new dioxopiperazine alkaloids, penispirozines A-H (1-8), were discovered from the mangrove-derived fungus Penicillium janthinellum HDN13-309. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis, TDDFT-ECD calculations, and X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 had an unusual pyrazino[1,2]oxazadecaline coupled with a thiophane ring system, and compound 2 possessed a 6/5/6/5/6 pentacyclic ring system with two rare spirocyclic centers. Interestingly, compounds 3-8 were distinguished by not only the existence of a spiro-thiophane or spiro-furan ring system but also the chirality of the pentacyclic moiety. Compounds 3 and 4 increased the expression of the two relevant phase II detoxifying enzymes SOD2 and HO-1 at 10 μM.
