Decaspirones A-E, bioactive spirodioxynaphthalenes from the freshwater aquatic fungus Decaisnella thyridioides.

ABSTRACT: Decaspirones A-E (1-5), five new compounds related to the palmarumycins, were isolated from cultures of the freshwater aquatic fungal species Decaisnella thyridioides. The known compound palmarumycin CP1 (6) was also obtained. The structures of 1-5 were determined by analysis of NMR and MS data, and their relative configurations were assigned by analysis of 1H NMR J-values and NOESY data. The structure of the lead compound 1 was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Compounds 1-5 possess a trans ring fusion not previously reported in members of this structural class. The absolute configuration of 1 was assigned using the modified Mosher method. Compounds 1-5 showed potent antifungal and antibacterial activity.

Project description:Fungal metabolites, proteins, and enzymes have been rich sources of therapeutics so far. Therefore, in this study, the hypha extract of a newly identified noble fungus (Alternaria sp. with NCBI Accession number: MT982648) was used to synthesize silver nanoparticles (F-AgNPs) to utilize against bacteria, fungi, and lung cancer. F-AgNPs were characterized by using physical techniques, including UV-visible spectroscopy, zeta potential, DLS, XRD, TEM, and HR-TEM. The particles were found to be polydispersed and quasi-spherical in shape under TEM. They had an average size of ~15 nm. The well dispersed particles were found to have consistent crystallinity with cubic phase geometry under XRD and HR-TEM. The presence of different functional groups on the surfaces of biosynthesized F-AgNPs was confirmed by FTIR. The particle distribution index was found to be 0.447 with a hydrodynamic diameter of ~47 d.nm, and the high value of zeta potential (-20.3 mV) revealed the stability of the nanoemulsion. These particles were found to be active against Staphylococcus aureus (multidrug resistance-MDR), Klebsiella pneumonia, Salmonella abony, and Escherichia coli (MDR) with MIC50 10.3, 12.5, 22.69, and 16.25 µg/mL, respectively. Particles also showed inhibition against fungal strains, including A. flavus, A. niger, T. viridens, and F. oxysporium. Their inhibition of biofilm formation by the same panel of bacteria was also found to be very promising and ranged from 16.66 to 64.81%. F-AgNPs also showed anticancer potential (IC50-21.6 µg/mL) with respect to methotrexate (IC50-17.7 µg/mL) against lung cancer cell line A549, and they did not result in any significant inhibition of the normal cell line BEAS-2. The particles were found to alter the mitochondrial membrane potential, thereby disturbing ATP synthesis and leading to high ROS formation, which are responsible for cell membrane damage and release of LDH, intracellular proteins, lipids, and DNA. A high level of ROS also elicits pro-inflammatory signaling cascades that lead to programmed cell death by either apoptosis or necrosis.
