Abstract
Four meroterpenoids [talarolutins A–D] and one known compound [purpurquinone A] were characterized from an endophytic fungal isolate of Talaromyces minioluteus (G413), which was obtained from the leaves of the medicinal plant milk thistle [Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn. (Asteraceae)]. The structures of talarolutins A–D were determined by the analysis of various NMR and MS techniques. The relative and absolute configuration of talarolutin A was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. A combination of NOESY data and comparisons of ECD spectra were employed to assign the relative and absolute configuration of the other analogs. Talarolutins B–D were tested for cytotoxicity against human prostate carcinoma (PC-3) cell line, antimicrobial activity, and induction of quinone reductase; no notable bioactivity was observed in any assay.
