Abstract:
Chemical investigation of endophytic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus HQD24, isolated from the flower of Rhizophora mucronata led to the isolation of eight alkaloids, including pyripyropene A (1), 1,11-dideacetyl-pyripyropene A (2), pyripyropene E (3), chaetominine (4), tryptoquivaline J (5), fumitremorgin C (6), 1-acetyl-β-carboline (7), and nicotinic acid (8). Their structures were unambiguously elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic data and comparison with the data of literature. Compound 2 was known as a synthetic product and isolated as a natural product for the first time. The immunosuppressive and cytotoxic activities of all isolated compounds were evaluated.
Keywords: Aspergillus fumigatus HQD24; Rhizophora mucronata; alkaloids; biological evaluation; mangrove endophytic fungi.
