Benzopyran Derivatives and an Aliphatic Compound from a Mangrove Endophytic Fungus Penicillium citrinum QJF‐22

Two new benzopyran derivatives, (2R,4S)‐5‐methoxy‐2‐methyl‐3,4‐dihydro‐2H‐1‐benzopyran‐4‐ol and (2S,4R,2′S,4′R)‐4,4′‐oxybis(5‐methoxy‐2‐methyl‐3,4‐dihydro‐2H‐1‐benzopyran), and a new aliphatic compound, (3E,5Z,8S,10E)‐8‐hydroxytrideca‐3,5,10,12‐tetraen‐2‐one, together with three known benzopyran derivatives, were obtained from a mangrove endophytic fungus Penicillium citrinum QJF‐22 collected in Hainan island. Their structures were determined by analysis of spectroscopic data and the relative configuration of (2R,4S)‐5‐methoxy‐2‐methyl‐3,4‐dihydro‐2H‐1‐benzopyran‐4‐ol was also confirmed by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The absolute configurations of four compounds were established by comparison of ECD spectra to calculations. The configuration of (3E,5Z,8S,10E)‐8‐hydroxytrideca‐3,5,10,12‐tetraen‐2‐one was confirmed by comparison of optical value to the similar compound. The configurations of the compounds (2S,4S)‐5‐methoxy‐2‐methyl‐3,4‐dihydro‐2H‐1‐benzopyran‐4‐ol and (2R,4R)‐5‐methoxy‐2‐methyl‐3,4‐dihydro‐2H‐1‐benzopyran‐4‐ol were first determined.

Chemical Characterization of Different Extracts from Artemisia annua and Their Antioxidant,Enzyme Inhibitory and Anti-Inflammatory Properties

Artemisia annua L. (Asteraceae Family) is an important plant in Asia that has been used for treating different diseases, including fever due to malaria, wounds, tubercolisis, scabues, pain, convulsions, diabetes, and inflammation. In this study we aimed to evaluate the effects of different polarity extracts (hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, ethanol, ethanol/water (70 %) and water) from A. annua against the burden of inflammation and oxidative stress occurring in colon tissue exposed to LPS. In parallel, chemical composition, antiradical, and enzyme inhibition effects against α-amylase, α-glucosidase, tyrosinase, and cholinesterases were evaluated. The water extract contained the highest content of the total phenolic with 34.59 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g extract, while the hexane had the highest content of the total flavonoid (20.06 mg rutin equivalent (RE)/g extract). In antioxidant assays, the polar extracts (ethanol, ethanol/water and water) exhibited stronger radical scavenging and reducing power abilities when compared to non-polar extracts. The hexane extract showed the best AChE, tyrosinase and glucosidase inhibitory effects. All extracts revealed effective anti-inflammatory agents, as demonstrated by the blunting effects on COX-2 and TNFα gene expression. These effects seemed to be not related to the only phenolic content. However, it is worthy of interest to highlight how the higher potency against LPS-induced gene expression was shown by the water extract ; thus suggesting a potential phytotherapy application in the management of clinical symptoms related to inflammatory colon diseases, although future in vivo studies are needed to confirm such in vitro and ex vivo observations.

Isolation and Characterization of Antibacterial Compound from a Mangrove-Endophytic Fungus, Penicillium chrysogenum MTCC 5108

Microorganisms, especially endophytic fungi that reside in the tissue of living mangrove plants, seem to play a major role in meeting the general demand for new biologically active substances. During the course of screening for biologically active secondary metabolites from marine microorganisms, an antibiotic compound containing an indole and a diketopiperazine moiety was isolated from the culture medium of Penicilliumchrysogenum, (MTCC 5108), an endophytic fungus on the mangrove plant Porteresiacoarctata (Roxb.). The cell free culture medium of P. chrysogenum showed significant activity against Vibriocholerae, (MCM B-322), a pathogen causing cholera in humans. Bioassay guided chemical characterization of the crude extract led to the isolation of a secondary metabolite possessing a molecular formula C₁₉H₂₁O₂N₃. Its antibacterial activity was comparable with standard antibiotic, streptomycin. This compound (1) was found to be (3,1′-didehydro-3[2″(3′″,3′″-dimethyl-prop-2-enyl)-3″-indolylmethylene]-6-methyl pipera-zine-2,5-dione) on the basis of mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy and one and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance analysis.
