A new 12-membered resorcylic acid lactone, cochliomycin H (), and one known resorcylic acid lactone, -demethylated-zeaenol (), were isolated from sponge-derived fungus sp. ZYX-Z-4. The structure of was elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic as well as HR-ESI-MS analysis. The configuration of was established by the NMR chemical shifts calculation followed by DP4+ analysis and ECD calculation. Compounds and were evaluated for the antifungal and neuroprotective activities and compound showed comparable neuroprotective effect on the HO injured SH-SY5Y cells to that of trolox.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) represents a significant global health challenge. MALSD is primarily driven by metabolic dysfunction, including mitochondrial dysregulation. Here, we show that β-resorcylic acid (β-RA), a naturally derived phenolic molecule known to target mitochondrial Coenzyme Q biosynthesis, reduces hepatic steatosis and inflammation, thus preventing the progression to MASH in the leptin-deficient ob/ob mouse model.

One new resorcylic acid lactone (RAL), curvulomycin E (1), along with 10 known compounds (2-11), was obtained from the Beibu Gulf coral-derived fungus Curvularia lunata GXIMD 02512. Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic data interpretation and comparison with literature. The absolute configurations of 1 and 10 were accomplished by ECD calculations.

This study evaluated the polyphenolic composition, antibacterial activity, molecular docking interactions, and pharmacokinetic properties of Romanian oak and fir honeydew honeys. Spectrophotometric methods quantified total phenolic, flavonoid contents and antioxidant activity, and individual polyphenols were identified via HPLC-MS. Antibacterial efficacy against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria was evaluated by determining the bacterial inhibition percentage and minimum inhibitory concentrations.

Covering: 1953 to Feb 2025Resorcylic acid lactones (RALs) represent a significant category of polyketides characterized by a β-resorcylate unit embedded in a macrolactone ring. Since the discovery of radicicol in 1953, over 300 natural RALs have been identified, showcasing remarkable structural diversity and a wide range of pharmacological activities, including antitumor, antimalarial, antifungal, and immunomodulatory effects. RALs target multiple molecular pathways, such as heat shock protein 90 (HSP90), WNT-5A, pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 2 (PDK2), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1).
