Abstract

A new aromatic polyketide, alternaphenol B2 (1), and four known compounds (2-5) were isolated from the coral-derived fungus Parengyodontium album SCSIO SX7W11. Their structures were elucidated by high-resolution mass spectrometry, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and comparison with reported literatures. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited selective inhibitory activity against isocitrate dehydrogenase mutant R132H (IDH1m), with IC50 values of 41.9 and 27.7 μM, respectively. Our findings thus provide a fresh incentive for investigation on IDH1m inhibitors as lead compounds for cancer treatment.

Keywords: Coral derived fungus; isocitrate dehydrogenase; polyketide; secondary metabolites.
