Abstract
In this study, 13 previously undescribed acorane sesquiterpenoids, namely, proliferacorins A–M, were isolated from the solid fermentation of Fusarium proliferatum. Their structures and absolute configurations were confirmed via spectroscopic analyses, quantum-chemical NMR calculations with DP4+ probability analyses, ECD calculations and comparisons, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Proliferacorins A–E (1–5) have a 7-oxa-tricyclo[6.3.1.01,5]tridecane decorated with a rare ether bridge between C-7 and C-11, while proliferacorin F (6) possesses a 7-oxa-tricyclic[6.4.0.01,5]dodecane skeleton with an unusual ether bond between C-6 and C-11. Proliferacorins C and D (3 and 4) are a pair of isomers at the carbon bridge between C-5 and C-7, whereas proliferacorins H and I (8 and 9) are a pair of spiro carbon isomers. All isolates were tested for their cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, and immunosuppressive activities.
