New Secondary Metabolites from the Marine-Derived Fungus <i>Talaromyces mangshanicus</i> BTBU20211089

Abstract

Seven new compounds, namely talaromanloid A (1), talaromydene (2), 10-hydroxy-8-demethyltalaromydine and 11-hydroxy-8-demethyltalaromydine (3 and 4), talaromylectone (5), and ditalaromylectones A and B (6 and 7), together with seven known compounds were identified from a marine-derived fungus, Talaromyces mangshanicus BTBU20211089, which was isolated from a sediment sample collected from the South China Sea. Their chemical structures were determined using spectroscopic data, including HRESIMS, 1D, and 2D NMR techniques. The absolute configurations of 1 and 2 were elucidated by comparing experimental and calculated ECD spectra. Compounds 1, 2, 6, and 7 are new compounds possessing a novel carbon skeleton. Compound 6 is a dimeric molecule of 3 and 9. Compound 7 shared a unique structure of the cyclized dimer of 3 and 4. All the compounds were tested for their bioactivities against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans.
