Diketopiperazine Alkaloids and Bisabolene Sesquiterpenoids from <em>Aspergillus versicolor</em> AS-212, an Endozoic Fungus Associated with Deep-Sea Coral of Magellan Seamounts

Two new quinazolinone diketopiperazine alkaloids, including versicomide E (<b>2</b>) and cottoquinazoline H (<b>4</b>), together with ten known compounds (<b>1</b>, <b>3</b>, and <b>5</b>–<b>12</b>) were isolated and identified...

description Two new quinazolinone diketopiperazine alkaloids, including versicomide E (<b>2</b>) and cottoquinazoline H (<b>4</b>), together with ten known compounds (<b>1</b>, <b>3</b>, and <b>5</b>–<b>12</b>) were isolated and identified from <i>Aspergillus versicolor</i> AS-212, an endozoic fungus associated with the deep-sea coral <i>Hemicorallium</i> cf. <i>imperiale</i>, which was collected from the Magellan Seamounts. Their chemical structures were determined by an extensive interpretation of the spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic data as well as specific rotation calculation, ECD calculation, and comparison of their ECD spectra. The absolute configurations of (−)-isoversicomide A (<b>1</b>) and cottoquinazoline A (<b>3</b>) were not assigned in the literature reports and were solved in the present work by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In the antibacterial assays, compound <b>3</b> exhibited antibacterial activity against aquatic pathogenic bacteria <i>Aeromonas hydrophilia</i> with an MIC value of 18.6 μM, while compounds <b>4</b> and <b>8</b> exhibited inhibitory effects against <i>Vibrio harveyi</i> and <i>V. parahaemolyticus</i> with MIC values ranging from 9.0 to 18.1 μM.
