Abstract

Chemical analysis of an Australian mud dauber wasp-associated fungus, Talaromyces sp. (CMB-W045), yielded five new coprogen siderophores, talarazines A-E (1-5), together with dimerumic acid (6), desferricoprogen (7), and elutherazine B (8). Structures inclusive of absolute configuration were assigned on the basis of detailed spectroscopic analysis and application of the C3 Marfey's method. We report on the noncytotoxic Fe(III) chelation properties of 1-8 and demonstrate that biosynthesis is regulated by available Fe(III) in culture media. We demonstrate a magnetic nanoparticule approach to extracting high-affinity Fe(III) binding metabolites (i.e., 8) from complex extracts.
