Abstract
Fungi are important resource for the discovery of novel bioactive natural products. This study investigated the metabolites produced by Mariana-Trench-associated fungus Aspergillus sp. SY2601 in EY liquid and rice solid media, resulting in the isolation and structure determination of 28 metabolites, including five new compounds, asperindopiperazines A-C (1-3), 5-methoxy-8,9-dihydroxy-8,9-deoxyaspyrone (21), and 12S-aspertetranone D (26). Structures of the new compounds were elucidated based on extensive NMR spectral analyses, HRESIMS data, optical rotation, ECD, and 13C NMR calculations. The new compound 12S-aspertetranone D (26) exhibited antibacterial activity against both methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli with MIC values of 3.75 and 5 μg/mL, respectively.
