Abstract
Alkaloids with a phenylhydrazone architecture are rarely found in nature. Four unusual phenylhydrazone alkaloids named talarohydrazones A-D (1-4) were isolated from the deep-sea cold seep derived fungus Talaromyces amestolkiae HDN21-0307 using the one strain-many compounds (OSMAC) approach and MS/MS-based molecular networking (MN) combined with network annotation propagation (NAP) and the unsupervised substructure annotation method MS2LDA. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and quantum chemical calculations. Talarohydrazone A (1) possessed an unusual skeleton combining 2,4-pyridinedione and phenylhydrazone. Talarohydrazone B (2) represents the first natural phenylhydrazone-bearing azadophilone. Bioactivity evaluation revealed that compound 1 exhibited cytotoxic activity against NCI-H446 cells with an IC50 value of 4.1 μM. In addition, compound 1 displayed weak antibacterial activity toward Staphylococcus aureus with an MIC value of 32 μg/mL.
