Phomosines H-J, novel highly substituted biaryl ethers, isolated from the endophytic fungus Phomopsis sp. from Ligustrum vulgare

Nat Prod Commun. 2011 Dec;6(12):1907-12.

Abstract

From the endophytic fungus Phomosis sp., four known phomosines A-D (1-4) and three new phomosines H-J (5-7) have been isolated. The structures of the new compounds were determined on the basis of their spectroscopic data analysis (1H, 13C, 1H-1H COSY, HMQC, and HMBC NMR, as well as mass spectrometry). The structures of phomosine H (5) and J (7) were also confirmed by semisynthesis from phomosine A (1). The remaining four known compounds [phomosines A-D (1-4)] were identified by comparing their spectroscopic data with those reported in the literature. The four known metabolites were biologically active. Of the novel metabolites, only 6 was antifungal and antibacterial.
