RESUMO
Chemical epigenetic cultivation of the sponge-derived fungus Pestalotiopsis sp. SWMU-WZ04-1 contributed to the identification of twelve polyketide derivatives, including six new pestalotiopols E-J (1-6) and six known analogues (7-12). Their gross structures were deduced from 1D/2D NMR and HRESIMS spectroscopic data, and their absolute configurations were further established by circular dichroism (CD) Cotton effects and the modified Mosher's method. In the bioassay, the cytotoxic and antibacterial activities of all compounds were evaluated. Chlorinated benzophenone derivatives 7 and 8 exhibited inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis, with MIC values varying from 3.0 to 50 µg/mL. In addition, these two compounds were cytotoxic to four types of human cancer cells, with IC50 values of 16.2~83.6 µM. The result showed that compound 7 had the probability of being developed into a lead drug with antibacterial ability.

Five undescribed polyketide derivatives, pestaloketides A-E (1-5), along with eleven known analogues (6-16), were isolated from the sponge-derived fungus Pestalotiopsis sp. Their structures, including absolute configurations, were elucidated by analyses of NMR spectroscopic HRESIMS data and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Compounds 5, 6, 9, and 14 exhibited weak cytotoxicities against four human cancer cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 22.1 to 100 µM. Pestaloketide A (1) is an unusual polyketide, featuring a rare 5/10/5-fused ring system. Pestaloketides A (1) and B (2) exhibited moderately inhibited LPS-induced NO production activity, with IC50 values of 23.6 and 14.5 µM, respectively, without cytotoxicity observed. Preliminary bioactivity evaluations and molecular docking analysis indicated that pestaloketides A (1) and B (2) had the potential to be developed into anti-inflammatory activity drug leads.
