Abstract: | Two new meroterpenoids, arthrinones A and B ( 1 and 2 ), along with six known compounds ( 3–8 ), were obtained from the fungus Arthrinium sp. SCSIO 41306. Comprehensive methods such as chiral-phase HPLC analysis and ECD calculations were applied to determine the absolute configurations. Griseofulvin ( 5 ), kojic acid ( 6 ), and 1H-indole-3-carboxaldehyde ( 8 ) showed inhibition of NF-κB in RAW 264.7 macrophages induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) with IC50 values of 22.21, 13.87 and 19.31 μM, respectively. In addition, griseofulvin ( 5 ) inhibited receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast differentiation in a dose-dependent manner without visible evidence of cytotoxicity in bone marrow macrophages (BMMs). This is the first report on the activity of griseofulvin ( 5 ) to inhibit osteoclast formation (IC50 10.09±0.21 μM). |
