Talaromides A-C, Bioactive Cyclic Heptapeptides from Talaromyces siglerae Isolated from a Marine Sponge

J Nat Prod. 2024 Apr 26;87(4):1230-1234. doi: 10.1021/acs.jnatprod.3c01227. Epub 2024 Apr 16.

Abstract

Three new cyclic heptapeptides, talaromides A-C (1-3), were isolated from cultures produced by the fungus Talaromyces siglerae (Ascomycota), isolated from an unidentified sponge. The structures, featuring an unusual proline-anthranilic moiety, were elucidated by analysis of spectroscopic data and chemical transformations, including the advanced Marfey's method and GITC derivatization. Talaromides A and B inhibited migration activity against PANC-1 human pancreatic cancer cells without significant cytotoxicity.
