Abstract:
In order to clarify the anti-fouling active components of the marine-derived fungal strain
Aspergillus terreus GXIMD00546, its fermentation products of the rice medium were isolated by silica gel column chromatography and purified using HPLC. One new compound asperterrestide C (
1) and 12 known compounds territrem B (
2), methyl-3, 4, 5-trimethoxy-2-(2-(nicotinamido)benzamido)benzoate (
3), butyrolactone Ⅰ (
4), terrien (
5), (1
R, 2
S)-2-hydroxy-5-oxo-3-((
E)-prop-1-en-1-yl)cyclopent-3-en-1-yl acetate (
6), (1
S, 5
R)-5-hydroxy-4-oxo-2-((
E)-prop-1-en-1-yl)cyclopent-2-en-1-yl acetate (
7), 4-hydroxykigelin (
8), monacolin K (
9), methyl ester of lactone ring-opened monacolin K (
10), butyrolactone Ⅶ (
11), aspernolide A (
12), and
epi-aszonalenin C (
13) were identified by the detailed data analysis of NMR sepectra, high-resolution mass spectrometry spectra and the comparison with literatures. The new compound asperterrestide C (
1) is a cyclopeptide with rare aminomethylation modifications. Compounds
1-
3,
6,
7,
9,
11,
12 showed clear anti-fouling activities against the attachment of barnacle larvae in the EC
50 ranges of 0.12-12.5 μg·mL
-1 with low toxicity. Compounds
1,
2,
4,
9-
12 also exhibited acetylcholinesterase inhibitory effects with EC
50 range of 17.16-55.77 μg·mL
-1. Compounds
4 and
11 have broad spectrum antibacterial activity against human pathogenic bacterium methicillin-resistant
Streptococcus aureus (MRSA), and fouling bacteria
Methanococcus janaschii (MJ),
Vibrio pelagius (VP), and
V. Rotiferianus (VR).
