Abstract:
Thirteen carneic acids were isolated from the fungal endophyte Phomopsis sp. SNB-LAP1-7-32. Their structures were identified by mass spectrometry and extensive one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy and through comparison with data reported in the literature. Compounds 1-13 were investigated for their antipolymerase activities against DENV polymerase and Zika NS5. Five of them exhibited significant inhibition of dengue polymerase with IC50 values in the 10 to 20 μM range without cytotoxicity. None inhibited Zika virus NS5 protein.
