Article Abstract

A new oleanene-type triterpene, named betuloleanolic acid acetate and fernane-type triterpenes, namely betufernanediol A and betufernanediol B (isomers) have been isolated from the stem bark of Betula pendula. Their structures have been established as olean-12-en-3beta-ylacetate-29-oic acid, fern-22(29)-en-3beta,12beta-diol and fem-22(29)-en-3alpha,12beta-diol, respectively, on the basis of spectral data analysis and chemical reactions.

In this study, we employed a combination of genome mining and heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC)-based small molecule accurate recognition technology (SMART) technology to search for fernane-type triterpenoids. Initially, potential endophytic fungi were identified through genome mining. Subsequently, fine fractions containing various fernane-type triterpenoids were selected using HSQC data collection and SMART prediction.

Covering: up to 2024Fungal pathogens are a major threat to public health, with emerging resistance to all three classes of antifungals that are currently available and increased incidence of invasive fungal infections among hospitalized patients. Ibrexafungerp is a semi-synthetic analog of enfumafungin and the first antifungal agent approved in more than 20 years since the launch of caspofungin, the first of echinocandins. This new drug approval was made possible after a long arduous journey lasting 25 years by dedicated and talented medicinal chemists from two companies that undertook tedious atom-by-atom chemical modification of the natural product enfumafungin, a glycosylated fernane-type triterpenoid isolated from the fungus .

Fernane-type triterpenoids are a small group of natural products mainly found in plants and fungi with a wide range of biological activities. Polytolypin is a representative fernane-type triterpenoid from fungi and possesses potent antifungal activity. So far, biosynthesis of fungal-derived fernane-type triterpenoids has not been characterized, which hinders the expansion of their structural diversity using biosynthetic approaches.

Belamcandaoids A-N (1-14), fourteen new triterpenoids were isolated from the seeds of Belamcanda chinensis. Their structures including absolute configurations were assigned by using spectroscopic, computational, and crystallographic methods. All the compounds except 1 and 2 are 3,4-seco-triterpenoids belonging to fernane type.

The stem bark of Oliv. exhibited triterpenoids, including the rare fernane-type, fern-9(11)-ene-2α,3β-diol () a possible chemotaxonomically distinct biomolecule for the genus. Other triterpenoids that were isolated from this plant include the ursane-type ursolic acid () and corosolic acid (), friedelane-type friedelin () and canophyllol (), lupane-type lupeol (), betulin (), betulinic acid () and hennadiol (), oleanoic acid (), maslinic acid () and taraxerol () and three sterols.
