Circumdatin-Aspyrone Conjugates from the Coral-Associated Aspergillus ochraceus LCJ11-102.

ABSTRACT: Ochrazepines A-D (1-4), four new conjugates dimerized from 2-hydroxycircumdatin C (5) and aspyrone (6) by a nucleophilic addition to epoxide, were isolated from the fermentation broth of the coral-associated Aspergillus ochraceus strain LCJ11-102. Their structures including absolute configurations were determined based on spectroscopic analysis and chemical methods. Compounds 1-4 were also obtained by the semisynthesis from a nucleophilic addition of 2-hydroxycircumdatin C (5) to aspyrone (6). New compound 1 exhibited cytotoxic activity against 10 human cancer cell lines while new compounds 2 and 4 selectively inhibited U251 (human glioblastoma cell line) and compound 3 was active against A673 (human
