Oxalierpenes A and B, Unusual Indole-Diterpenoid Derivatives with Antiviral Activity from a Marine-Derived Strain of the Fungus Penicillium oxalicum.

Oxalierpenes A and B (1 and 2), two unusual indole-diterpenoid derivatives, were obtained from the marine-derived fungus Penicillium oxalicum. The absolute configurations of 1 and 2 were elucidated by calculated TDDFT ECD and DP4plus methods. Oxalierpene A (1) represents the first indole-diterpenoid derivative with a five-membered ring of 4-hydroxy-5,5-dimethyldihydrofuran-3-one as a side chain. Oxalierpene B (2) has a unique 6/5/6/5/5/6/6/5/5 ring system. Compounds 1 and 2 showed antiviral activity against the H1N1 virus and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), with IC50 values ranging from 2.8 to 9.4 µM.

Realization of Single-Phase White-Light-Emitting Materials with Time-Evolution Ultralong Room-Temperature Phosphorescence by Coordination Assemblies.

Two Cd-based supramolecular coordination polymers, [Cd3(CzIP)3(DMF)2] (1) and [Cd2(CzIP)2(DMF)4] (2), were synthesized by using 5-(carbazol-9-yl) isophthalate (CzIP) as ligands. These two compounds exhibit multiple luminescence emissions; apart from fluorescence, time- and temperature-dependent ultralong phosphorescence (RTP) were also achieved under room conditions. Significantly, compound 1 has a long-lived afterglow of 0.93 s at 545 nm under ambient conditions. Compound 2 shows nearly pure white-light emission with CIE coordinates of (0.33, 0.33) via the dual emission of fluorescence and phosphorescence. It has come to our attention that it is the first example of a luminescent coordination polymer with single-phase white-light emission and color-evolution RTP. In addition, the long-lived RTP materials can be used in time-dependent anticounterfeiting and white-light-emitting diodes. Experimental and singlet and triplet state calculations indicate that both C-H···π interaction and inter- and intramolecular charge transfer interactions could be beneficial to the emission of ultralong RTP.
