Abstract
One new cerapicane cerrenin A (1), and two new isohirsutane sesquiterpenoids cerrenins B and C (2 and 3), were isolated from the broth extract of Cerrena sp. A593. Cerrenin A featured a rare cage-like bicyclo[3.2.1]octane skeleton, and cerrenin B represented the rearranged triquinane-type sesquiterpenoid. Their structures were extensively elucidated by NMR spectroscopic analysis with the absolute configuration determined by X-ray crystallography and ECD calculations. The anti-cancer activity for all the compounds were evaluated, and their plausible biosynthetic relationships involving fascinating carbon skeleton rearrangements were also suggested.
