Abstract

A new sesquiterpene lactone type meroterpenoid, terreulactone A, was isolated from the solid-state fermentation of Aspergillus terreus and its structure was established by various spectral analysis.

    Aspergillus terreus, a common fungus used in chemical and pharmaceutical industry, is well-known for the production of itaconic acid and lovastatin [3]. In the past decades, various kinds of secondary metabolites, such as butenolides, meroterpenoid [4], sesquiterpenes [5], sestertepenoids [6], alkaloids [7], and polyketides [8,9] have been subsequently isolated from terrestrial or marine strains of A. terreus. Particularly, butenolides are considered as typical metabolites in this strain, which exert anticancer [10,11], α-glucosidase inhibitory and antioxidant activity [12,13], antimalarial activity [14], and anti-phytopathogen activity [15].

    Citation Excerpt :

    Terreulactone A (68) and Terreulactone D (69) are meroterpenoid type compounds; with mixed polyketide terpenoid structures that showed AChE inhibition (Table 1). Isoterreulactone A is also a meroterpenoid but contains a seven-membered lactone skeleton in its structure and it is 10 times weaker AChEI than terreulactones [164,165]. These new inhibitors (70, (Table 1)) contain a modified heterocycle which is supposed to interact with the catalytic site and new substituents connected to the nitrogen atom N 20, which is supposed to be responsible for the binding to the peripheral site of the enzyme [166].
