Abstract
Pestaloamides A and B ( 1 and 2 ), two novel alkaloids featuring an unprecedented spiro[imidazothiazoledione-alkylidenecyclopentenone] scaffold, were obtained from the cultures of an endophytic fungus Pestalotiopsis sp. HS30 which inhabited the stems of Isodon xerophilus . Their planar structures and absolute configurations were fully determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis and X-ray crystallography. In addition, both compounds 1 and 2 showed the latent tumor immunotherapy activity through markedly promoting the cell surface engagement of NKG2D ligands involving MICA/B and ULBP1 in HCT116 cells.
