Abstract:
In order to search for anti-fungal secondary metabolites from endophytic fungi of mangroves, a mangrove-derived endophytic fungus
Talaromyces assiutensis sp. from the mangrove
Ceriops tagal was studied. Fifteen secondary metabolites (
1−
15) including 5-acetamidopentanoic acid (
1), methyl-4-acetamidbutyrate (
2), pyrophen (
3), (
E)-6-hydroxy-5- (1-propenyl)-1,2-dihydropyrano3,2-bpyrrole-3,7-dione (
4), N-acetyltyramine (
5), fonsecinone A (
6), aurasperone A (
7), asperpyrone D (
8), aurasperone F (
9), isoherqueinone (
10), ergosterdiacids B (
11), kojic acid (
12),
L-1-methyl citrate (
13), methyl
p-hydroxyphenylacetate (
14) and
p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (
15) were isolated from the
T. assiutensis sp. by using modern chromatographic separation technology. Their structures were elucidated of the basis of spectroscopic and chemical data, especially NMR and MS. Compounds
1 and
2 are new natural products, which
1H/
13C NMR data were reported for the first time. Compounds
1−
15 were evaluated their anti-fungal activities, in which compound
6−10 showed anti-fungal activities.
