ABSTRACT
Citristerones A-E (1-5), five new 23,24-diols containing ergosterols, along with three known analogues, were isolated from the endophytic fungus Penicillium citrinum TJ507 obtained from Hypericum wilsonii N. Robson. Their structures and absolute configurations were determined by NMR, HRESIMS, Snatzke's method, X-ray diffraction analyses and ECD calculation. Subsequently, the anti-neuroinflammatory effects of these isolates were screened using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced BV-2 microglial cells, and citristerone B (2) showed outstanding anti-neuroinflammatory activity, with IC50 value of 0.60 ± 0.04 µM. Moreover, immunofluorescence and western blot analysis suggested that citristerone B not only reduced the release of nitric oxide (NO) and proinflammatory cytokines in LPS-induced BV-2 microglial cells, but also significantly inhibited the expression of TNF-α, iNOS and NF-κB, along with the production of cellular ROS.
