RESUMO
Two new cyclopiane diterpenes and a new cladosporin precursor, together with four known related compounds, were isolated from the marine sediment-derived fungus Penicillium antarcticum KMM 4670, which was re-identified based on phylogenetic inference from ITS, BenA, CaM, and RPB2 gene regions. The absolute stereostructures of the isolated cyclopianes were determined using modified Mosher's method and quantum chemical calculations of the ECD spectra. The isolation from the natural source of two biosynthetic precursors of cladosporin from a natural source has been reported for the first time. The antimicrobial activities of the isolated compounds against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans as well as the inhibition of staphylococcal sortase A activity were investigated. Moreover, the cytotoxicity of the compounds to mammalian cardiomyocytes H9c2 was studied. As a result, new cyclopiane diterpene 13-epi-conidiogenone F was found to be a sortase A inhibitor and a promising anti-staphylococcal agent.

The KMM 4639 strain was identified as Amphichorda sp. based on two molecular genetic markers: ITS and ß-tubulin regions. Chemical investigation of co-culture marine-derived fungi Amphichorda sp. KMM 4639 and Aspergillus carneus KMM 4638 led to the identification of five new quinazolinone alkaloids felicarnezolines A-E (1-5), a new highly oxygenated chromene derivative oxirapentyn M (6) and five previously reported related compounds. Their structures were established using spectroscopic methods and by comparison with related known compounds. The isolated compounds showed low cytotoxicity against human prostate and breast cancer cells but felicarnezoline B (2) protected rat cardiomyocytes H9c2 and human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells against CoCl2-induced damage.
