Abstract:
Seven compounds were isolated from fermentation extract of cave-derived
Metarhizium anisopliae NHC-M3-2 by silica gel, semi-preparative HPLC and other chromatographic methods. Their structures were elucidated by UV, IR, MS and NMR methods as 2,3-dehydroindigotide G (
1), (-)-regiolone (
2), naphtho-
γ-pyrone (
3), indigotide G (
4), indigotide B (
5) destruxin A (
6) and destruxin B (
7). Compound
1 is a new glycoside naphthopyranone compound. The anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) activity of these compounds was evaluated. The EC
50 and CC
50 of compound
3 against HBV were 4.5 μmol·L
-1 and 92.3 μmol·L
-1, respectively. This is the first report of the antiviral activity of compound
3.
