Punctaporonins H-M: caryophyllene-type sesquiterpenoids from the sponge-associated fungus Hansfordia sinuosae

Mar Drugs. 2014 Jun 30;12(7):3904-16. doi: 10.3390/md12073904.

Abstract

Six new caryophyllene-based sesquiterpenoids named punctaporonins H-M (1-6), together with punctaporonin B (7) and humulane (8) were isolated from the fermentation broth of the sponge-derived fungus Hansfordia sinuosae. Their structures were determined by the extensive HRESIMS and NMR spectroscopic analysis, including the X-ray crystallographic data for the assignment of the absolute configurations of punctaporonins H-I (1-2). The isolated compounds were evaluated for antihyperlipidemic, cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities, and punctaporonin K (4) exhibited potent effects to reduce the triglycerides and total cholesterol in the intracellular levels.
