RESUMEN
Four new p-terphenyl derivatives, talaroterphenyls A-D (1-4), together with three biosynthetically related known ones (5-7), were obtained from the mangrove sediment-derived Talaromyces sp. SCSIO 41412. Compounds 1-3 are rare p-terphenyls, which are completely substituted on the central benzene ring by oxygen atoms; this is the first report of their isolation from natural sources. Their structures were elucidated through NMR spectroscopy, HRESIMS, and X-ray diffraction. Genome sequence analysis revealed that 1-7 were biosynthesized from tyrosine and phenylalanine, involving four key biosynthetic genes (ttpB-ttpE). These p-terphenyls (1-7) and 36 marine-derived terphenyl analogues (8-43) were screened for phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitory activities, and 1-5, 14, 17, 23, and 26 showed notable activities with IC50 values of 0.40-16 µM. The binding pattern of p-terphenyl inhibitors 1-3 with PDE4 were explored by molecular docking analysis. Talaroterphenyl A (1), with a low cytotoxicity, showed obvious anti-inflammatory activity in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Furthermore, in the TGF-ß1-induced medical research council cell strain-5 (MRC-5) pulmonary fibrosis model, 1 could down-regulate the expression levels of FN1, COL1, and α-SMA significantly at concentrations of 5-20 µM. This study suggests that the oxidized p-terphenyl 1, as a marine-derived PDE4 inhibitor, could be used as a promising antifibrotic agent.

Guided by Global Natural Products Social molecular networking, two p-terphenyl derivatives and one 4,5-diphenyl-2-pyrone analogue, peniterphenyls A-C (1-3), together with five known p-terphenyl derivatives (4-8) and sulochrin (9), were obtained from a deep-sea-derived Penicillium sp. SCSIO41030. Their structures were elucidated using extensive NMR spectroscopic and HRESIMS data and by comparing the information with literature data. Peniterphenyl B (2) represented the first reported natural product possessing a 4,5-diphenyl-substituted 2-pyrone derivative. The p-terphenyl derivatives displayed inhibitory activities against HSV-1/2 with EC50 values ranging from 1.4 ± 0.6 to 9.3 ± 3.7 µM in Vero cells, which showed that they possessed antiviral activities with low cytotoxicity, superior to the current clinical drug acyclovir (EC50 3.6 ± 0.7 µM). Peniterphenyl A (1) inhibited HSV-1/2 virus entry into cells and may block HSV-1/2 infection through direct interaction with virus envelope glycoprotein D to interfere with virus adsorption and membrane fusion, and thus differs from the nucleoside analogues such as acyclovir. Our study indicated peniterphenyl A (1) could be a promising lead compound against HSV-1/2.

Chemical analysis of extracts from cultures of the plant pathogenic fungus Cytospora sp. strain CCTU A309 collected in Iran led to the isolation of two previously unreported heptanedioic acid derivatives namely (2R,3S) 2-hydroxy-3-phenyl-4-oxoheptanedioic acid (1) and (2S,3S) 2-hydroxy-3-phenyl-4-oxoheptanedioic acid (2) as diastereomers, four previously undescribed prenylated p-terphenyl quinones 3-6 in addition to five known metabolites. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis and high-resolution mass spectrometry. For metabolites 1 and 2, the absolute configurations at C-2 were deduced from comparison of the 1H NMR difference of their (S)- and (R)-phenylglycine methyl ester derivatives while the relative configurations were tentatively assigned by a J-based analysis and confirmed by comparison of 13C chemical shifts to literature data. The isolated compounds were tested for their cytotoxic, antimicrobial (including biofilm inhibition), antiviral, and nematicidal activities. While only moderate antimicrobial effects were observed, the terphenyl quinone derivatives 3-6 and leucomelone (10) exhibited significant cytotoxicity against the mouse fibroblast L929 and cervix carcinoma KB-3-1 cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 2.4 to 26⯵g/mL. Furthermore, metabolites 4-6 showed interesting antiviral activity against hepatitis C virus (HCV).

Eleven new p-terphenyls, floricolins K-U (1-11), together with 13 biosynthetically related known compounds (12-24) were isolated from an endolichenic fungus, Floricola striata. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses and single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements. The newly isolated p-terphenyls inhibited the growth of A2780, MCF-7, and A549 cell lines. Further evaluation for the multidrug resistance (MDR) reversal activity of compound 5 revealed it enhanced the sensitivity of MCF-7/ADR cells toward adriamycin 39-fold at 10 µM through modulating P-glycoprotein-mediated drug exclusion.

The genus Hypoxylon, a member of the family Xylariaceae, has been known to produce significant secondary metabolites in terms of chemical diversity. Moreover, the compounds isolated can also be used as chemotaxonomic characters for differentiation among the two sections, which are sect. Annulata and sect. Hypoxylon. In our continuing chemical screening programme for novel compounds, the crude extracts of H. fendleri BCC32408 gave significant chemical profiles in HPLC analyses. Thus, the chemical investigation of these crude extracts was then carried out. The investigation led to the isolation of ten previously undescribed compounds including three terphenylquinones (fendleryls A - C), one terphenyl (fendleryl D), and six novel drimane - phthalide-type lactone/isoindolinones derivatives (fendlerinines A - F) along with seven known compounds (2-O-methylatromentin, rickenyl E, atromentin, rickenyls C - D, (+)-ramulosin, and O-hydroxyphenyl acetic acid). The chemical structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analyses, including 1D, 2D NMR and high-resolution mass spectrometry, as well as chemical transformations. In addition, these isolated compounds were assessed for antimicrobial activity including antimalarial (against Plasmodium falciparum, K-1 strain), antifungal (against Candida albicans), antibacterial (against Bacillus cereus) activities. Cytotoxicity against both cancerous (KB, MCF-7, NCI-H187) and non-cancerous (Vero) cells of these compounds were also evaluated.

YXf3. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by extensive MS and NMR analyses. The NMR and MS data of 5 is reported for the first time, as its structure was listed in SciFinder Scholar with no associated reference. Compounds 6 and 7 were distinguished from each other on the basis of 2D NMR experiments. Compounds 1, 2, 3 and 8 showed antibacterial activities against X. oryzae pv. oryzicola Swings and E. amylovora with the same MIC values of 20µg/mL while 10 exhibited activities against E. amylovora with an MIC value of 10µg/mL.

Three secondary fungal metabolites 1-3 with a benzo[b]naphtho[2,1-d]furan skeleton were isolated from submerged cultures of the ascomycete Allantophomopsis lycopodina. The NMR-based structure elucidation was challenging due to a low H/C ratio of only 0.64 and 0.68, respectively. NMR measurements in two different solvents and the use of NMR experiments such as HSQC-TOCSY and LR-HSQMBC proved to be helpful in this respect. The proposed structures obtained from the comprehensive analysis of the NMR data were verified by comparison of recorded and computed NMR chemical shifts from quantum chemical calculations of several constitutional isomers and were further analyzed with the aid of the DP4 and DP4+ probabilities.

Our screening efforts for new natural products with interesting bioactivity have revealed the neotropical ascomycete Hypoxylon rickii as a prolific source. We isolated five secondary metabolites with a p-terphenyl backbone from the mycelial extract of a fermentation of this fungus in 70 l scale by using RP-HPLC, which were named rickenyls A-E (1-5). Their structures were elucidated by X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy, complemented by HRESIMS. Two of the compounds contained a quinone core structure in ortho (2) and para-position (5), respectively. We obtained 2 spontaneously and by lead tetraacetate oxidation from 1. All compounds were screened for antimicrobial, antioxidative and cytotoxic activities. Rickenyl A (1) exhibited strong antioxidative effects and moderate cytotoxic activity against various cancer cell lines.
