RESUMO
This study investigated the chemical and biological activity of the secondary metabolites from an endophytic fungus Fusa-rium solani MBM-5 of Datura arborea. A total of six alkenoic acid compounds, including a new compound and five known ones, were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of F. solani MBM-5 by using the chromatographic methods(open ODS column chromatography, silica gel column chromatography, Sephadex LH-20, and semi-preparative HPLC). The structures of the compounds were identified by using their physical and chemical data, spectroscopic methods(UV, IR, NMR, and HR-ESI-MS), and Mosher's reaction, which were fusaridioic acid E(1), fusaridioic acid C(2), fusaridioic acid A(3), L660282(4), hymeglusin(5), and hymeglnone(6). Compound 1 is new. MTT assay and Griss method were used to evaluate the growth inhibition of all the compounds against two tumor cells, as well as their influence and anti-inflammatory action on the release of NO from LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. The results showed that compound 5 had strong growth inhibition activity against A549 and HepG2 cell lines, with IC_(50) values of 4.70 and 13.57 µmol·L~(-1), respectively. Compounds 1 and 6 significantly inhibited the release of NO from LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells, with IC_(50) values of 77.00 and 70.33 µmol·L~(-1), respectively.
