Benzyl Furanones and Pyrones from the Marine-Derived Fungus <i>Aspergillus terreus</i> Induced by Chemical Epigenetic Modification

Chemical epigenetic modification on a marine-derived fungus <i>Aspergillus terreus</i> RA2905 using a histone deacetylase inhibitor, suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), resulted in a significantly changed metabolic profile. A chemical investigation of its ethyl acetate (EtOAc) extrac...

description Chemical epigenetic modification on a marine-derived fungus <i>Aspergillus terreus</i> RA2905 using a histone deacetylase inhibitor, suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), resulted in a significantly changed metabolic profile. A chemical investigation of its ethyl acetate (EtOAc) extract led to the isolation of a racemate of benzyl furanone racemate (±)-<b>1</b>, which further separated chirally as a pair of new enantiomers, (+)- and (−)-asperfuranone (<b>1</b>), together with two new benzyl pyrones, asperpyranones A (<b>2</b>) and B (<b>3</b>). Their structures were elucidated by analysis of the comprehensive spectroscopic data, including one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) NMR, and HRESIMS. The absolute configurations were determined by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculation and single-crystal X-ray crystallographic experiment. The structures with benzyl furanone or benzyl pyrone skeletons were discovered from natural products for the first time. Compounds (±)-<b>1</b>, (+)-<b>1</b>, (−)-<b>1</b>, and <b>2</b> displayed the antifungal activities against <i>Candida albicans</i> with MIC values of 32, 16, 64, and 64 μg/mL and PTP1B inhibitory activities with the IC<sub>50</sub> values of 45.79, 17.32, 35.50, and 42.32 μM, respectively. Compound <b>2</b> exhibited antibacterial activity against <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> with the MIC value of 32 μg/mL.
