Abstract
Cultivation of the actinobacteria strain Isoptericola chiayiensis, a mangrove-derived actinobacteria that was isolated from a mangrove soil collected in Chiayi County, resulted in the isolation of one new 2-furanone derivative, isopterfuranone (1), one new sesquiterpenoid, isopterchiayione (2), one new benzenoid derivative, isopterinoid (3), five new flavonoids, chiayiflavans A-E (4-8), and 4 metabolites isolated for the first time from nature source, methyl 3-(4-methyl-2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-3-yl)propanoate (9), 3-ethyl-4-methylpyrrolidine-2,5-dione (10), chiayiensol (11) and chiayiensic acid (12). Their structures were determined through in-depth spectroscopic and mass-spectrometric analyses. Most of the isolates showed potent inhibitory effects on NO production in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 murine macrophages cells with IC50 values ranging from 9.36 to 40.02 μM. Of these isolates, 4 and 5 showed NO inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 17.14 and 9.36 μM, stronger than the positive control quercetin (IC50 =36.95 μM). This is the first report on flavan metabolites from the genus Isoptericola.
