Abstract
Three new indole diketopiperazines, ochrolines A-C (1–3), along with three known compounds (4–6), were isolated and identified from the EtOAc extract of the solid fermentation of Bionectria ochroleuca SLJB-2. Notably, compound 1 featured a natural rarely-occurring caged skeleton with a 6/5/6/7 heterotetracyclic bridged ring system. The structures including absolute configurations of 1–3 were fully accomplished by extensive spectroscopic analyses, DFT GIAO 13C NMR and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. The plausible biogenetic pathways of these new indole diketopiperazines were also proposed. Moreover, the cytotoxic activity screening revealed that compound 2 exhibited moderate inhibitory effect against A549 with inhibition rate of 57.44% at the concentration of 50 μM and compound 1 exhibited mild inhibitory activities against A549, Hela and MCF-7.
