Three new pyrrole alkaloids from the endophytic fungus Albifimbria viridis

Abstract

Abstract Three new pyrrole alkaloids albifipyrrols A–C (1–3), were isolated from the endophytic fungus Albifimbria viridis collected from the Chinese medicinal plant. Their structures were elucidated by extensive NMR and HRESIMS spectrometric analyses. All compounds were evaluated for immunosuppressive activity. Fortunately, compound 2 exhibits certain inhibition specifically against the LPS-induced proliferation of B lymphocyte cells with IC50 value 16.16 μM. Graphical Abstract
