Lactones from a brown alga endophytic fungus (No. ZZF36) from the South China Sea and their antimicrobial activities

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2006 Aug 15;16(16):4205-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2006.05.081. Epub 2006 Jun 14.

Abstract

Two new metabolites named 6-oxo-de-O-methyllasiodiplodin (1) and (E)-9-etheno-lasiodiplodin (2), with three known compounds lasiodiplodin (3), de-O-methyllasiodiplodin (4), and 5-hydroxy-de-O-methyllasiodiplodin (5), were isolated from the mycelium extracts of a brown alga endophytic fungus (No. ZZF36) obtained from the South China Sea. Their structures were elucidated using spectroscopic methods, mainly 1D and 2D NMR. Additionally, the structure of compound 1 was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The antimicrobial activities of lasiodiplodins, and the 13-acetyl and 12,14-dibromo derivatives of lasiodiplodin were tested for the first time and the results were compared to each other.
