Abstract
ObjectiveTo study secondary metabolites from endophytic fungus Colletotruchum sp. HK-08 originated from the leaves of Nerium indicum. MethodsThe compounds were isolated by various column chromatographic techniques, and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic techniques [high resolution electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (HRESIMS), one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR)], as well as comparison with literature data. The Ellman method was used to determine the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity. ResultsFour indole derivatives were identified from Colletotruchum sp. HK-08, including 6′-hydroxymonaspiloindole (1), 2-(2-oxoindolin-3-yl)ethyl 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl) acetate (2), 2-(2-oxoindolin-3-yl)ethyl 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)acetate (3), and monaspiloindole (4). Compound 4 presented weak AChE inhibitory activity with IC50 value of (69.30 ± 6.27) μmol/L [tacrine as the positive control, with IC50 value of (0.61 ± 0.07) μmol/L]. ConclusionCompounds 1–3 were new compounds, and compound 4 had weak AChE inhibitory activity.
