Abstract:

To explore the diversity of secondary metabolites of fungus Aspergillus sp. GXIMD 02045 from Sargassum fusiforme, the secondary metabolites were separated with various chromatographic techniques. Chemical structures were identified using mass spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and optical rotation data with comparison of literature reported ones. 15 compounds were isolated from Aspergillus sp. GXIMD 02045, and identified as (3S)-6-hydroxy-8-methoxy-3, 5-dimethylisochroman (1), (3S)-6-hydroxy-8-methoxy-3-methylisochroman (2), (3S, 4R)-6-hydroxy-8-methoxy-3, 5-dimethylisochroman (3), (1S, 3R)-3, 7-dimethyl-1, 8-dihydroxy-6-methoxyisochroman (4), (S)-6-hydroxy-7-methoxy-3, 5-dimethylisochroman-1-one (5), anserinone A (6), anserinone B (7), (+)-formylanserinone B (8), 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (9), p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid methyl ester (10), Waol A (11), (S)-7-methoxy-2, 5-dimethyl-2, 3-dihydrobenzofuran-6-ol (12), 6-methylcurvulinic acid methyl ester (13), 4-hydroxy-3, 6-dimethyl-2-pyrone (14), trans-ferulic acid (15). Antibacterial activity of secondary metabolites from A. sp. GXIMD02045 was tested, which showed that compounds 68 displayed inhibitory activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values were ranging from 3.91 μg·mL-1 to 7.81 μg·mL-1. Compounds 68 and 11 showed inhibitory activity against Bacillus subtilis, and the MIC values were ranging from 7.81 μg·mL-1 to 15.62 μg·mL-1. Compounds 4, 68, 10 and 11 showed inhibitory activity against Pseudomona aeruginosa, and the MIC values were ranging from 1.95 μg·mL-1 to 125.00 μg·mL-1. This study provides a theoretical basis for the research on development and utilization of mangrove Sargassum fusiforme and its symbiotic fungus.
