Abstract

Fiscpropionates A-F (1-6), six new polypropionate derivatives featuring an unusual long hydrophobic chain, were isolated from the deep-sea-derived fungus Aspergillus fischeri FS452. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis, and the absolute configurations were determined by J-HMBC analysis, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, and the modified Mosher's method. This is the first discovery of polypropionates from marine-derived fungi, and compounds 4 and 5 represent the first examples of polypropionate derivatives containing a 3-hydroxypiperidin-2-one as part of an imide linkage. In addition, compounds 1-4 exhibited significant inhibitory activities against Mycobacterium tuberculosis protein tyrosine phosphatase B (MptpB) with the IC50 values of 5.1, 12, 4.0, and 11 μM, respectively. Enzyme kinetic experiments suggested that they all acted through a noncompetitive mechanism. A preliminary structure-activity relationship is discussed.
