RESUMO

Bacterial persisters, a subpopulation of genetically susceptible cells that are normally dormant and tolerant to bactericides, have been studied extensively because of their clinical importance. In comparison, much less is known about the determinants underlying fungicide-tolerant fungal persister formation in vivo. Here, we report that during mouse lung infection, Cryptococcus neoformans forms persisters that are highly tolerant to amphotericin B (AmB), the standard of care for treating cryptococcosis. By exploring stationary-phase indicator molecules and developing single-cell tracking strategies, we show that in the lung, AmB persisters are enriched in cryptococcal cells that abundantly produce stationary-phase molecules. The antioxidant ergothioneine plays a specific and key role in AmB persistence, which is conserved in phylogenetically distant fungi. Furthermore, the antidepressant sertraline (SRT) shows potent activity specifically against cryptococcal AmB persisters. Our results provide evidence for and the determinant of AmB-tolerant persister formation in pulmonary cryptococcosis, which has potential clinical significance.

RESUMO

Three new polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol meroterpenoids, hyperiforins A-C (1-3), were isolated from Hypericum forrestii (Chittenden) N. Robson, together with twelve known analogues (4-15). Their structures were established by extensive physical and spectroscopic data analysis. Compounds 1, 2, 5, 7, and 13-15 showed potent inhibitory effects on protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B with IC50 values from 6.63 ± 2.40 to 14.21 ± 3.51 µM.

RESUMO

Hyperprins A (1) and B (2), two polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol related meroterpenoids with undescribed carbon skeletons, were isolated from Hypericum przewalskii. Compound 1 possesses a new 6/6/6/6/5/5 hexacyclic system with an unprecedented tetracyclo[10.3.1.03,8.08,12]hexadecane motif. Compound 2 features a unique 6/8/6/6 tetracyclic scaffold. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic data, chemical method, and X-ray crystallography. Compound 1 showed antiproliferation activity against the MV-4-11 cell line, and the p-bromobenzoate derivative of 2 displayed PTP1B inhibition.

RESUMO

Twelve alkaloids were isolated from the bulbs of Fritillaria yuminensis by column chromatography over silica gel, ODS, and Sephadex LH-20, as well as RP-HPLC. Their structures were identified mainly by NMR and MS analyses as yubeinine(1), imperialine(2), delavinone(3), tortifoline(4), hupehenizioiside(5), imperialine-ß-D-glucoside(6), kuroyurinidine(7), pengbeisine A(8), walujewine A(9), peimisine-3-O-ß-D-glucopyranoside(10), solanidine-3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-ß-D-glucopyranoside(11), and solanidine-3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-[ß-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)]-ß-D-glucopyranoside(12). Compounds 4-12 were obtained from F. yuminensis for the first time.

RESUMO

Three new isosteroidal alkaloids, frititorines A-C (1-3), were isolated from the bulbs of Fritillaria tortifolia, together with ten known ones (4-13). Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses, chemical methods, and single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis. Compound 1 is the first 5ß-cevanine alkaloid with a cis A/B ring junction from the Fritillaria genus. Compound 2 is the first example of glycosylated isosteroidal alkaloid N-oxide. Compound 1 showed significant relaxant effect on Ach-induced tracheal contraction with pA2 and EC50 values equivalent to those of aminophylline.

RESUMO

Two new oleanane-type saponins, named oleiferasaponins C4 (1) and C5 (2), were isolated from Camellia oleifera Abel. seed cake residue. Their respective structures were identified as 16α-hydroxy-22α-O-angeloyl-23α-aldehyde-28-dihydroxymethylene-olean-12-ene-3ß-O-[ß-d-galacto-pyranosyl-(1→2)]-[ß-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-ß-d-galactopyranosy-(1→3)]-ß-d-glucopyranosid-uronic acid methyl ester (1) and 16α-hydroxy-22α-O-angeloyl-23α-aldehyde-28-dihydroxy-methylene-olean-12-ene-3ß-O-[ß-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→2)]-[ß-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→3)]-ß-d-glucopyranosiduronic acid methyl ester (2) through 1D- and 2D-NMR, HR-ESI-MS, and GC-MS spectroscopic methods. The two compounds exhibited potent cytotoxic activities against five human tumor cell lines (BEL-7402, BGC-823, MCF-7, HL-60 and KB).
