Abstract:
A new polyketide:3
R, 5
R-(-)-talaroflavone (
2), along with 15 known compounds were isolated from a EtOAc extract of a sponge-derived fungus
Alternaria sp. F49. Compounds
1-
2 and
3-
4 were separated as two pairs of enantiomers by chiral HPLC from
Ⅰ and
Ⅱ. The structures of compounds
1-
16 were elucidated by means of NMR and MS. Furthermore, the absolute configurations of compounds
1-
2 were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction experiment and CD analyses. Compounds
6,
8-
10 were isolated from this genus (
Alternaria sp.) for the first time. Compound
16 showed moderate COX-2 enzyme inhibitory activity with IC
50of 7.3 μmol·L
-1.
