Spiculisporic acid E, a new spiculisporic acid derivative and ergosterol derivatives from the marine-sponge associated fungus Talaromyces trachyspermus (KUFA 0021)

Nat Prod Commun. 2014 Aug;9(8):1147-50.

Abstract

A new spiculisporic acid derivative, spiculisporic acid E (2), and a new natural product 3-acetyl ergosterol 5, 8-endoperoxide (1), were isolated, together with ergosta-4, 6, 8 (14), 22-tetraen-3-one, glaucanic acid and glauconic acid, from the culture of the marine-sponge associated fungus Talaromyces trachyspermus (KUFA 0021). All the compounds were inactive against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and Candida albicans, as well as multidrug-resistant isolates from the environment. Spiculisporic acid E (2), glaucanic acid and glauconic acid did not show in vitro growth inhibitory activity against the MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma), NCI-H460 (non-small cell lung cancer) and A375-C5 (melanoma) cell lines by the protein binding dye SRB method.
