A new chlorinated phenolic compound, methyl-3-chloro-2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-6-pentylbenzoate (1) and 4 known compounds (2-5) were isolated from the Antarctic lichen, Pertusaria dactylina ( Pertusariaceae). The structure of the new compound was determined by means of One-dimensional and two dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (1D and 2D NMR) and high-resolution fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (HRFABMS) experiments. The antimicrobial activities of compounds 1 to 5 against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans were evaluated. The results showed that compound 1 exhibited a weak inhibitory effect against C. albicans with an IC50 value of 67 ± 7 μg/mL.

Abstract A new compound, integracid (1), together with four known compounds were isolated from the dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) extract from Artemisia integrifolia L. The structures of compounds (1–5) were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including ultraviolet, infrared (IR), high resolution-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS) and extensive one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques, and by comparison with data reported in the references. Antibacterial activities of the compounds were evaluated against various bacteria.

The structure of Mezzettiaside 3, a highly acylated trisaccharide obtained from the stem bark of Mezzettialeptopoda, was determined by a combination of double-quantum-filtered {1H,1H} correlation spectroscopy, two-dimensional homonuclear Hartmann–Hahn, and 1H-detected {1H,13C} one-bond and multiple-bond shift correlation nuclear magnetic resonance experiments, in conjunction with fast-atom-bombardment mass spectrometry. Mezzettiaside 3 was found to be the α-(n-octyl)glycoside of 3,4-di-O-acetyl-L-rhamnopyranosyl-α(1 → 3)-2,4-di-O-acetyl-L-rhamnopyranosyl-α(1 → 3)-4-O-hexanoyl-L-rhamnopyranose. The heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation NMR technique proved to be invaluable in establishing the location of the O-acyl groups in this complex carbohydrate. Keywords: oligosaccharide, HMBC, HMQC, HOHAHA, FAB-MS.

Three previously undescribed iridoids, cornusfurals A–C, were isolated from the ethanolic extracts of fruits of Cornus officinalis. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including one-dimensional and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance, ultraviolet spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. The neuroprotective activity was evaluated by measuring corticosterone-induced damage in PC12 cells. The results showed that cornusfural B decreased corticosterone-induced PC12 cell damage compared with that in model cells.

Marine-associated fungal strains act as a valuable reservoir of bioactive diverse secondary metabolites including alkaloids which are highly popular by their biological activities. This review highlighted the chemistry and biology of alkaloids isolated from twenty-six fungal genera associated with marine organisms and marine sea sediments. The selected fungi are from different marine sources without focusing on mangroves. The studied fungal genera comprises Acrostalagmus, Arthrinium, Chaetomium, Cladosporium, Coniothyrium, Curvularia, Dichotomomyces, Eurotium, Eutypella, Exophiala, Fusarium, Hypocrea, Microsphaeropsis, Microsporum, Neosartorya, Nigrospora, Paecilomyces, Penicillium, Pleosporales, Pseudallescheria, Scedosporium, Scopulariopsis, Stagonosporopsis, Thielavia, Westerdykella, and Xylariaceae. Around 347 alkaloid metabolites were isolated and identified via chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques comprising 1D and 2D NMR (one and two dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance) which were further confirmed using HR-MS (high resolution mass spectrometry) and Mosher reactions for additional ascertaining of the stereochemistry. About 150 alkaloids showed considerable effect with respect to the tested activities. Most of the reported bioactive alkaloids showed considerable biological activities mainly cytotoxic followed by antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antioxidant; however, a few showed anti-inflammatory and antifouling activities. However, the rest of the compounds showed weak or no activity toward the tested biological activities and required further investigations for additional biological activities. Thus, alkaloids isolated from marine-associated fungi can afford an endless source of new drug entities that could serve as leads for drug discovery combating many human ailments.

A new isoflavan, named dalbergiacochan A (1), was isolated from the heartwood of Dalbergia cochinchinensis, along with two known isoflavans, namely mucronulatol (2) and 2′-O-methylsepiol (3). Their structures were elucidated based on extensive spectroscopic analyses, including one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (2D NMR), and mass spectroscopy (MS) data, and the absolute stereochemistry of compound 1 was determined as R-3′,6-dihydroxy-2′,4′,8-trimethoxyisoflavan from its circular dichroism spectrum. Compound 1 was inactive against Escherichia coli, Bacillus thuringiensis, and Shigella dysenteriae.

Two undescribed triterpenoid saponins together with 5 known ones were isolated from the root bark of Haplocoelum congolanum Hauman. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including one-dimensional and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance experiments in combination with mass spectrometry as 3- O-(4- O-[3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl])-α-l-arabinopyranosyl-(1→3)-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-[β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)]-α-l-arabinopyranosyloleanolic acid and 3- O-α-l-arabinofuranosyl-(1→3)-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-[β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)]-α-l-arabinopyranosyloleanolic acid.

New diterpenes, namely, trichodermanins F–H, with a fused 6-5-6-6 ring system were isolated from the fungus Trichoderma harzianum OUPS-111D-4 separated from a marine sponge Halichondria okadai. These chemical structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR as well as high-resolution fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (HRFABMS) spectral analyses. We established their absolute stereostructures by application of the modified Mosher’s method or circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. In addition, their cytotoxicities were assessed using several cancer cell lines, with 1 and 2 exhibiting modest activities.
