Abstract

Three new cyclic peptide-polyketide hybrids (1-3) and two new chaetiacandin-type polyketides (4 and 5) along with nine known compounds were isolated from cultures of a halophyte-associated fungus, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides JS0417. Spectroscopic analysis revealed that 1-3 were cyclic depsipeptides where 3,5,11-trihydroxy-2,6-dimethyldodecanoic acid was linked to two amino acids through amide and ester bonds to form a 12-membered ring. Relative and absolute configurations for the peptides were determined with spectroscopic analysis and chemical reactions. The cyclic depsipeptides 2 and 6 were determined to act as strong adiponectin-secretion-promoting modulators with potential to treat metabolic diseases associated with hypoadiponectinemia. Notably, a known compound, tryptophol, significantly inhibited PGE2 synthesis and also promoted adiponectin secretion, exhibiting a similar biological activity profile to aspirin, but with greater potency. The presence of an isoleucine moiety and non-glycosylation may be important for biological activity of the cyclic peptide-polyketide hybrids, and non-methoxylation of the side chain may influence activity of the indole derivatives.
