RESUMO
Peyronellones A and B (1 and 2), a pair of rare tetracyclic caged adducts of azaphilone with pyruvic acid, along with four new analogues (3-6), were isolated from solid cultures of the endophytic fungus Peyronellaea glomerata. Their structures were elucidated through spectroscopic analysis, and their absolute configurations were unambiguously determined by a combination of single-crystal X-ray crystallography, Rh2(OCOCF3)4-induced ECD experiments, ECD calculations, and modified Mosher methods. Compound 2 (5 µM) was found to have a significant hypoxia-protective effect that improved the survival rate of hypoxia/reoxygenation-treated human umbilical vein endothelial cells from 35% to 70%, which was equal to the potency of the positive control, verapamil. Flow cytometry analysis suggested 2 could inhibit H/R-induced late-stage apoptosis of this cell line.

Formyl-phloroglucinol meroterpenoids (FPMs) are important types of natural products with various bioactivities. Our antifungal susceptibility assay showed that one of the Eucalyptus robusta-derived FPMs, eucarobustol E (EE), exerted a strong inhibitory effect against Candida albicans biofilms at a concentration of 16 µg/ml. EE was found to block the yeast-to-hypha transition and reduce the cellular surface hydrophobicity of the biofilm cells. RNA sequencing and real-time reverse transcription-PCR analysis showed that exposure to 16 µg/ml of EE resulted in marked reductions in the levels of expressions of genes involved in hyphal growth (EFG1, CPH1, TEC1, EED1, UME6, and HGC1) and cell surface protein genes (ALS3, HWP1, and SAP5). Interestingly, in response to EE, genes involved in ergosterol biosynthesis were downregulated, while the farnesol-encoding gene (DPP3) was upregulated, and these findings were in agreement with those from the quantification of ergosterol and farnesol. Combined with the obvious elevation of negative regulator genes (TUP1, NRG1), we speculated that EE's inhibition of carbon flow to ergosterol triggered the mechanisms of the negative regulation of hyphal growth and eventually led to biofilm inhibition.

The poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) is an important group of enzymes in DNA repair pathways, especially the base excision repair (BER) for DNA single-strand breaks (SSBs) repair. Inhibition of PARP in DNA repair-defective tumors (like those with BRAC1/2 mutations) can lead to cell death and genomic instability, what is so called "synthetic lethality". Currently, PARP inhibitors combined with cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of BRCA-1/2 deficient cancers are in the clinical development. In this review, we will be focused on the development of combination application of PARP inhibitors with other anticancer agents in clinical trials.

Twelve formyl phloroglucinol meroterpenoids (FPMs) were isolated from the leaves of Eucalyptus robusta Smith. Their structures were elucidated via spectroscopic data analysis, the circular dichroism (CD) exciton chirality method, Rh2(OCOCF3)4-induced CD experiments, and application of the Snatzke chirality rules. Eucalrobusones Q, S, and X are the first FPMs that have been identified in which the C-7' of phloroglucinol is linked to the C-15 of cadinane, the C-4 of cubebane, and the C-8 of menthane, respectively. (+)-Eucalrobusone X exhibited the most potent antifungal ability against Candida albicans with a MIC50 value of 10.78⯵g/mL, and eucalrobusone U exhibited the greatest anti-C. glabrata activity with MIC50 value of 1.53⯵g/mL.

Nine new phenalenone derivatives (1-9), along with two known analogues (10-11) have been isolated from the solid cultures of an endophytic fungus Aspergillus sp. which was obtained from Pinellia ternate. Their structures were established through interpretations of spectroscopic evidence, and some of their absolute configurations were determined by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and Mo2(OCOCH3)4 induced ECD. All of the phenalenones are unusual acyclic diterpenoid adducts, which are diversely oxidized and partly epoxidized to form different heterocycles. In addition, compound 10 exhibited significant antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis with MIC50 values of 1.87, 2.77, and 4.80µg/mL, respectively.

Ten new sucrose esters, physakengoses A-J (1-10), were isolated from the aerial parts of Physalis alkekengi var. franchetii under the guidance of 1H NMR spectroscopy. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analyses (HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR, and ESIMS) and chemical methods. These new compounds were tested for antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. Among them, compounds 2 and 5-8 showed potent inhibitory effects against test strains with MIC values ranging from 3.5 to 14.9µg/mL. These findings may indicate that the P. alkekengi var. franchetii has potential application as an ingredient in pharmaceuticals.

Seven new formyl phloroglucinol meroterpenoids (FPMs), namely eucalrobusones J-P (1-7), as well as three known ones (8-10) were isolated from the leaves of Eucalyptus robusta. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data analysis, and their absolute configurations were determined by applications of the Snatzke's helicity rule and the electron circular dichroism (ECD) calculation. These FPMs are diverse in coupling patterns between phloroglucinol and sesquiterpenoid units, forming novel polycyclic ring systems. Compound 1 possesses a new carbon skeleton that a 1-oxaspiro[5.6]dodecane core is formed through C-14 rather than C-4 of the aromadendrane moiety. Compound 2 features a novel 6/7/5 ring-fused 6-oxabicyclo[3.2.2]nonane skeleton. Compounds 3-5 are rare aristolane-based FPMs. By forming different oxo bridges, compound 3 is the first sample of FPM with benzo-dihydrofuran structure, and compound 4 possesses a novel 6/6/6/6/3-fused pentacyclic skeleton. Compounds 1, 6, and 8 exhibited significant antifungal activities against Candida glabrata with MIC50 values of 2.57, 1.95, and 2.49 µg/mL, respectively.
