Antibacterial Indole Diketopiperazine Alkaloids from the Deep-Sea Cold Seep-Derived Fungus Aspergillus chevalieri .
Marine Drugs 2023 March 23
A large body of fungal secondary metabolites has been discovered to exhibit potent antibacterial activities with distinctive mechanisms and has the potential to be an untapped resource for drug discovery. Here, we describe the isolation and characterization of five new antibacterial indole diketopiperazine alkaloids, namely 24,25-dihydroxyvariecolorin G ( 1 ), 25-hydroxyrubrumazine B ( 2 ), 22-chloro-25-hydroxyrubrumazine B ( 3 ), 25-hydroxyvariecolorin F ( 4 ), and 27-epi-aspechinulin D ( 5 ), along with the known analogue neoechinulin B ( 6 ) from a fungal strain of deep-sea cold seep-derived Aspergillus chevalieri . Among these compounds, 3 and 4 represented a class of infrequently occurring fungal chlorinated natural products. Compounds 1 - 6 showed inhibitory activities against several pathogenic bacteria with MIC values ranging from 4 to 32 μg/mL. It was revealed that compound 6 could induce structural damage to the Aeromonas hydrophila cells based on the observation by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which led to the bacteriolysis and death of A. hydrophila , suggesting that neoechinulin B ( 6 ) might be a potential alternative to novel antibiotics development.
