Aplospojaveedins A-C, unusual sulfur-containing alkaloids produced by the endophytic fungus Aplosporella javeedii using OSMAC strategy.

ABSTRACT: Three sulfur-containing alkaloids aplospojaveedins A-C (1-3) with a hitherto undescribed carbon skeleton comprising octahy-dronaphthalene, α, β-unsaturated lactam and glycine-cysteine moieties were isolated from Aplosporella javeedii. Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, HR-MS, X-ray diffraction analysis, DFT-NMR and TDDFT-ECD calculations. A plausible biosynthetic pathway and putative targets are described. The blind docking suggested that 1-3 may have functional effects on several putative targets such as the GPCR cannabinoid receptor 2 or the integrin α5β1 complex.
