Abstract
The crystal structure and unambiguous absolute configuration of meleagrin (1) isolated from fungus Emericella dentata Nq45 is reported herein to first time on the bases of single crystal X-ray diffraction. Together with 1, haenamindole (2), isorugulosuvine (3), secalonic acid D (4), ergosterol (5) and cerebroside A (6) were obtained and their structures were determined by ESI MS and NMR data analysis. Diverse biological activity of meleagrin (1) was investigated. Compound 1 pronounced potent cytotoxicity against the human cervix carcinoma cell line KB-3-1 and its multidrug resistant sub-clone KB-V1 of IC50 3.07 and 6.07 µM, respectively, in comparison with the reference (+) – griseofulvin (IC50 19, 19.5 µM). Based on the antibiofilm activity, compound 1 displayed as well potent activity against Staphylococcus aureus with an MIC of 0.25 mg/mL. Isolation of the producing fungus and taxonomical characterization is stated as well.
