摘要
Fungal symbionts co-evolve with hosts and microbial co-inhabitants to acquire an unpredictable potential for producing novel bioactive metabolites,but the knowledge about the topic remains patchy and superficial.Here we present the chemical characterization of acatulides A-G(1-7)as architecturally unprecedented macrolides from the solid-state culture of Acaulium album H-JQSF,an arthropod-associated fungus.The acatulide structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis,modified Mosher's method and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The plausible biosynthetic pathways for compounds 1-4 are proposed.Interestingly,acatulides B-D(2-4)and G(7)were demonstrated to be neuroprotective against the 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium(MPP+)-induced damage to SH-SY5Y cells and nematode Caenorhabditis elegans(C.elegans).
