Abstract
Violaceotides B-E (1-4), four new cyclic tetrapeptides, along with seven known compounds, were identified from the sponge-associated Aspergillus insulicola IMB18-072 co-cultivated with the marine-derived Alternaria angustiovoidea IMB20-805. Their structures were elucidated by extensive analysis of spectroscopic data, including HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR, and MS/MS data. The absolute configurations were determined by the advanced Marfey's method. Compounds 2, 3, and violaceotide A (5) displayed selective antimicrobial activities against the aquatic pathogenic bacteria Edwardsiella tarda and E. ictaluri. In addition, compounds 1-5 showed inhibitory activities against the LPS-induced expression of the inflammatory mediator IL-6 in RAW264.7 cells at a concentration of 10 μM.
