Seven new quinazoline-containing indole alkaloids (1–7) named aspertoryadins A–G,
along with
nine known ones (8–16), were isolated
from the marine-derived fungus Aspergillus sp. HNMF114
from the bivalve mollusk Sanguinolaria chinensis.
The structures of the new compounds were elucidated from spectroscopic
data, X-ray diffraction analysis, ECD spectra analysis, and ECD calculations.
Compound 1 bears an aminosulfonyl group in the structure,
which is rarely encountered in natural products. Compounds 6, 7, and 13 exhibited quorum sensing inhibitory
activity against Chromobacterium violaceum CV026
with MIC values of 32, 32, and 16 μg/well, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
