Abstract
Two previous unreported epipolythiodioxopiperazines of the emestrin family, namely, noremestrin A (1) and secoemestrin E (2), were successfully isolated from the fungal source Emericella sp. 1454. Employing comprehensive spectroscopic techniques, such as high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, infrared, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), along with NMR and electronic circular dichroism calculations, the chemical structures of compounds 1 and 2 were elucidated. Particularly noteworthy is the distinctive nature of noremestrin A, representing the inaugural instance of a noremestrin variant incorporating a sulfur-bearing 15-membered macrocyclic lactone moiety. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited weak cytotoxic activities against the human chronic myelocytic leukemia cell lines MEG-01 and K562.
