RESUMO
Ten new decalin polyketides, zosteropenilline M (1), 11-epi-8-hydroxyzosteropenilline M (2), zosteropenilline N (3), 8-hydroxyzosteropenilline G (4), zosteropenilline O (5), zosteropenilline P (6), zosteropenilline Q (7), 13-dehydroxypallidopenilline A (8), zosteropenilline R (9) and zosteropenilline S (10), together with known zosteropenillines G (11) and J (12), pallidopenilline A (13) and 1-acetylpallidopenilline A (14), were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the fungus Penicillium yezoense KMM 4679 associated with the seagrass Zostera marina. The structures of isolated compounds were established based on spectroscopic methods. The absolute configurations of zosteropenilline Q (7) and zosteropenilline S (10) were determined using a combination of the modified Mosher's method and ROESY data. The absolute configurations of zosteropenilline M (1) and zosteropenilline N (3) were determined using time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations of the ECD spectra. A biogenetic pathway for compounds 1-14 is proposed. The antimicrobial, cytotoxic and cytoprotective activities of the isolated compounds were also studied. The significant cytoprotective effects of the new zosteropenilline M and zosteropenillines O and R were found in a cobalt chloride (II) mimic in in vitro hypoxia in HEK-293 cells. 1-Acetylpallidopenilline A (14) exhibited high inhibition of human breast cancer MCF-7 cell colony formation with IC50 of 0.66 µM and its anticancer effect was reduced when MCF-7 cells were pretreated with 4-hydroxitamoxifen. Thus, we propose 1-acetylpallidopenilline A as a new xenoestrogen with significant activity against breast cancer.

Here, we continued the investigation of anti-HSV-1 activity and neuroprotective potential of 14 polyphenolic compounds isolated from Maackia amurensis heartwood. We determined the absolute configurations of asymmetric centers in scirpusin A (13) and maackiazin (10) as 7R,8R and 1â³S,2â³S, respectively. We showed that dimeric stilbens maackin (9) and scirpusin A (13) possessed the highest anti-HSV-1 activity among polyphenols 1-14. We also studied the effect of polyphenols 9 and 13 on the early stages of HSV-1 infection. Direct interaction with the virus (virucidal activity) was the main mechanism of the antiviral activity of these compounds. The neuroprotective potential of polyphenolic compounds from M. amurensis was studied using models of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-and paraquat (PQ)-induced neurotoxicity. A dimeric stilbene scirpusin A (13) and a flavonoid liquiritigenin (6) were shown to be the most active compounds among the tested polyphenols. These compounds significantly increased the viability of 6-OHDA-and PQ-treated Neuro-2a cells, elevated mitochondrial membrane potential and reduced the intracellular ROS level. We also found that scirpusin A (13), liquiritigenin (6) and retusin (3) considerably increased the percentage of live Neuro-2a cells and decreased the number of early apoptotic cells. Scirpusin A (13) was the most promising compound possessing both anti-HSV-1 activity and neuroprotective potential.

New anthraquinone derivatives acruciquinones A-C (1-3), together with ten known metabolites, were isolated from the obligate marine fungus Asteromyces cruciatus KMM 4696. Acruciquinone C is the first member of anthraquinone derivatives with a 6/6/5 backbone. The structures of isolated compounds were established based on NMR and MS data. The absolute stereoconfigurations of new acruciquinones A-C were determined using ECD and quantum chemical calculations (TDDFT approach). A plausible biosynthetic pathway of the novel acruciquinone C was proposed. Compounds 1-4 and 6-13 showed a significant antimicrobial effects against Staphylococcus aureus growth, and acruciquinone A (1), dendryol B (4), coniothyrinone B (7), and ω-hydroxypachybasin (9) reduced the activity of a key staphylococcal enzyme, sortase A. Moreover, the compounds, excluding 4, inhibited urease activity. We studied the effects of anthraquinones 1, 4, 7, and 9 and coniothyrinone D (6) in an in vitro model of skin infection when HaCaT keratinocytes were cocultivated with S. aureus. Anthraquinones significantly reduce the negative impact of S. aureus on the viability, migration, and proliferation of infected HaCaT keratinocytes, and acruciquinone A (1) revealed the most pronounced effect.

The marine-derived fungal strains KMM 4718 and KMM 4747 isolated from sea urchin Scaphechinus mirabilis as a natural fungal complex were identified as Penicillium sajarovii and Aspergillus protuberus based on Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS), partial ß-tubulin (BenA), and calmodulin (CaM) molecular markers as well as an ribosomal polymerase two, subunit two (RPB2) region for KMM 4747. From the ethyl acetate extract of the co-culture, two new polyketides, sajaroketides A (1) and B (2), together with (2'S)-7-hydroxy-2-(2'-hydroxypropyl)-5-methylchromone (3), altechromone A (4), norlichexanthone (5), griseoxanthone C (6), 1,3,5,6-tetrahydroxy-8-methylxanthone (7), griseofulvin (8), 6-O-desmethylgriseofulvin (9), dechlorogriseofulvin (10), and 5,6-dihydro-4-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one (11) were identified. The structures of the compounds were elucidated using spectroscopic analyses. The absolute configurations of the chiral centers of sajaroketides A and B were determined using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT)-based calculations of the Electronic Circular Dichroism (ECD) spectra. The inhibitory effects of these compounds on urease activity and the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans were observed. Sajaroketide A, altechromone A, and griseofulvin showed significant cardioprotective effects in an in vitro model of S. aureus-induced infectious myocarditis.

Two new guanidine alkaloids, batzelladines O (1) and P (2), were isolated from the deep-water marine sponge Monanchora pulchra. The structures of these metabolites were determined by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and ECD. The isolated compounds exhibited cytotoxic activity in human prostate cancer cells PC3, PC3-DR, and 22Rv1 at low micromolar concentrations and inhibited colony formation and survival of the cancer cells. Batzelladines O (1) and P (2) induced apoptosis, which was detected by Western blotting as caspase-3 and PARP cleavage. Additionally, induction of pro-survival autophagy indicated as upregulation of LC3B-II and suppression of mTOR was observed in the treated cells. In line with this, the combination with autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine synergistically increased the cytotoxic activity of batzelladines O (1) and P (2). Both compounds were equally active in docetaxel-sensitive and docetaxel-resistant prostate cancer cells, despite exhibiting a slight p-glycoprotein substrate-like activity. In combination with docetaxel, an additive effect was observed. In conclusion, the isolated new guanidine alkaloids are promising drug candidates for the treatment of taxane-resistant prostate cancer.

In continuation of our studies on a Vietnamese collection of a Stelletta sp., sponge we have isolated two new isomalabaricane triterpenoids, stellettins Q and R (1 and 2), and four new isomalabaricane-derived nor-terpenoids, stellettins S-V 3-6, along with previously known globostelletin N. Among them, compound 3 contains an acetylenic fragment, unprecedented in the isomalabaricane family and extremely rare in other marine sponge terpenoids. The structures and absolute configurations of all new compounds were established by extensive NMR, MS, and ECD analyses together with quantum-chemical modeling. Additionally, according to obtained new data we report the correction in stereochemistry of two asymmetric centers in the structures of two known isomalabaricanes, 15R,23S for globostelletin M and 15S,23R for globostelletin N.

Three new bibenzochromenones named phanogracilins A-C (1-3) were isolated from the crinoid Phanogenia gracilis. The structure of 1 was established using X-ray crystallography as 5,5',6,6',8,8'-hexahydroxy-2,2'-dipropyl-4H,4'H-[7,9'-bibenzo[g]chromene]-4,4'-dione. This allowed us to assign reliably 2D NMR signals for compound 1 and subsequently for its isomer 2 that differed in the connecting position of two benzochromenone moieties (7,10' instead of 7,9'), and compound for 3 that differed in the length of the aliphatic chain of one of the fragments. Compound 4 was derived from 1 in alkaline conditions, and its structure was elucidated as 5,5',6',8,8'-pentahydroxy-2,2'-dipropyl-4H,4'H-[7,9'-bibenzo[g]chromene]-4,4',6,9-tetraone. Even though compounds 1-4 did not contain stereo centers, they possessed notable optical activity due to sterical hindrances, which limited the internal rotation of two benzochromenone fragments around C(7)-C(9'/10') bonds. Isolated bibenzochromenones 1-4 were tested for their antiradical, neuroprotective and antimicrobial activities. Compounds 1, 3 and 4 demonstrated significant antiradical properties towards ABTS radicals higher than the positive control trolox. Compounds 1 and 4 exhibited moderate neuroprotective activity, increasing the viability of rotenone-treated Neuro-2a cells at a concentration of 1 µM by 9.8% and 11.8%, respectively. Compounds 1 and 3 at concentrations from 25 to 100 µM dose-dependently inhibited the growth of Gram-positive bacteria S. aureus and yeast-like fungi C. albicans, and they also prevented the formation of their biofilms. Compounds 2 and 4 exhibited low antimicrobial activity.

Four extracts of the marine-derived fungus Penicillium velutinum J.F.H. Beyma were obtained via metal ions stress conditions based on the OSMAC (One Strain Many Compounds) strategy. Using a combination of modern approaches such as LC/UV, LC/MS and bioactivity data analysis, as well as in silico calculations, influence metal stress factors to change metabolite profiles Penicillium velutinum were analyzed. From the ethyl acetate extract of the P. velutinum were isolated two new piperazine derivatives helvamides B (1) and C (2) together with known saroclazin A (3) (4S,5R,7S)-4,11-dihydroxy-guaia-1(2),9(10)-dien (4). Their structures were established based on spectroscopic methods. The absolute configuration of helvamide B (1) as 2R,5R was determined by a combination of the X-ray analysis and by time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations of electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. The cytotoxic activity of the isolated compounds against human prostate cancer PC-3 and human embryonic kidney HEK-293 cells and growth inhibition activity against yeast-like fungi Candida albicans were assayed.
RESUMO
Pterocarpans and related polyphenolics are known as promising neuroprotective agents. We used models of rotenone-, paraquat-, and 6-hydroxydopamine-induced neurotoxicity to study the neuroprotective activity of polyphenolic compounds from Lespedeza bicolor and their effects on mitochondrial membrane potential. We isolated 11 polyphenolic compounds: a novel coumestan lespebicoumestan A (10) and a novel stilbenoid 5'-isoprenylbicoloketon (11) as well as three previously known pterocarpans, two pterocarpens, one coumestan, one stilbenoid, and a dimeric flavonoid. Pterocarpans 3 and 6, stilbenoid 5, and dimeric flavonoid 8 significantly increased the percentage of living cells after treatment with paraquat (PQ), but only pterocarpan 6 slightly decreased the ROS level in PQ-treated cells. Pterocarpan 3 and stilbenoid 5 were shown to effectively increase mitochondrial membrane potential in PQ-treated cells. We showed that pterocarpans 2 and 3, containing a 3'-methyl-3'-isohexenylpyran ring; pterocarpens 4 and 9, with a double bond between C-6a and C-11a; and coumestan 10 significantly increased the percentage of living cells by decreasing ROS levels in 6-OHDA-treated cells, which is in accordance with their rather high activity in DPPH⢠and FRAP tests. Compounds 9 and 10 effectively increased the percentage of living cells after treatment with rotenone but did not significantly decrease ROS levels.

Four new pterocarpans (6aR,11aR)-6a,11a-dihydrolespedezol A2 (2), (6aR,11aR)-2-isoprenyl-6a,11a-dihydrolespedezol A2 (3), (6aR,11aR,3'R)-6a,11a-dihydrolespedezol A3 (4), (6aR,11aR,3'S)-6a,11a-dihydrolespedezol A3 (5) and one new stilbenoid with 1,2-diketone fragment named bicoloketone (6) along with one previously known pterocarpen lespedezol A2 (1) have been isolated from Lespedeza bicolor stem bark using multistage column chromatography on polyamide and silica gel. The structures of the isolated polyphenolic compounds were determined by spectroscopic methods. The absolute configurations of 4 and 5 were determined by comparison of their electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra obtained experimentally and the spectra calculated using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). The isolated compounds exhibited a moderate DPPH scavenging effect and ferric reducing power compared to the reference antioxidant quercetin. The cytotoxicity of compounds against three human cancer cell lines, HTB-19, Kyse-30, and HEPG-2, and two normal cell lines, RPE-1 and HEK-293, was tested using the MTT assay. Compound 3 showed the strongest cytotoxic activity against all cell lines (IC50 6.0-19.1⯵M) compared with the positive control cisplatin. The other tested compounds possessed moderate cytotoxic activity against cancer cells.

The first representatives of a new group of manzamine-related alkaloids with a previously unknown skeletal systems, namely, lissodendoric acids A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the sponge Lissodendoryx florida collected from the Sea of Okhotsk. The structures and absolute configurations have been elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis together with chemical transformations and quantum-chemical modeling. The lissodendoric acids show a potent capability to decrease the production of reactive oxygen species in neuroblastoma Neuro 2a and somewhat increase the survival of these cells upon treatment with 6-hydroxydopamine (an in vitro antiparkinson biotest).
