Abstract

The marine-derived Aspergillus protuberus MF297-2 and the terrestrial A. amoenus NRRL 35600 produce enantiomeric prenylated indole alkaloids. Investigation of biological activities of the natural and synthetic derivatives revealed that (−)-enantiomers of notoamides A and B, 6-epi-notoamide T, and stephacidin A inhibited receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) ligand (RANKL)–induced osteoclastogenic differentiation of murine RAW264 cells more strongly than their respective (+)-enantiomers. Among them, (−)-6-epi-notoamide T was the most potent inhibitor with an IC50 value of 1.7μM.
