Abstract:
Three new sorbicillinoids, including trimer trisorbicillinone E (1), acremosorbicillinoids A and B (2 and 3), and a new alkaloid acremokaloid A (4), and a new natural product 2S,3S-acetyl-β-methyltryptophan (5), were isolated from an endophytic fungus Acremonium citrinum SS-g13, which is found in Fructus mori plant root. In addition, eight known sorbicillinoids (6-13) were also obtained. The new compound structures were established using NMR, HRESIMS spectra, and reported spectroscopic data. The absolute configurations of compounds 1-5, were determined by spectroscopic analysis, Snatzke's method, and time-dependent density functional theory-electronic circular dichroism (TDDFT-ECD) calculations. Compound 11 exhibited significant cholesterol efflux enhancing activity. A plausible biosynthesis pathway for the sorbicillinoids is discussed.
