Abstract
A new asteriquinone, ochrindole F (1), and five previously reported analogues (2-6) were isolated from the culture of the fungus Aspergillus sp. GZWMJZ-258, an endophyte of Garcinia multiflora. The structure of compound 1 was determined by a spectroscopic analysis. Furthermore, eight new derivatives (7-14) were synthesized from major metabolites 2 and 3. These compounds showed selective antiproliferative activity against the human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell line MV4-11, among which compound 12 showed the strongest activity with an IC50 value of 0.14 μM and the highest selectivity with a selectivity index greater than 710. An initial probe of the mechanism of action showed that compounds 12 and 14 could inhibit the expression of FLT-3 in the MV4-11 cell line.
