Article Abstract

Two new bisabolane-type sesquiterpenoids, aspergillolanoids A and B (1 and 2), along with a previously unreported cyclic tetrapeptide, aspergitertide A (5), and four known compounds (3, 4, 6 and 7), have been isolated from the deep-sea-derived fungus Aspergillus sp. WHUF05242. Structural elucidation of these compounds was accomplished through comprehensive spectroscopic analysis, including HR-ESIMS and 1D/2D NMR spectroscopic data. The absolute stereochemistry of 1 was unambiguously determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis, while the chiral center configurations of 5 were resolved through time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT)-based ECD calculations. Antimicrobial evaluation revealed that compound 7 demonstrated moderate antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with MIC value of 16 μg/mL.

Eleven previously undescribed bisabolane-type sesquiterpenoids were successfully isolated from Artemisia persica. The structures of these compounds were comprehensively elucidated through a combination of advanced spectroscopic techniques, including one-dimensional and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance, high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and ultraviolet spectroscopy. Structural assignments were further confirmed by comparison of experimental and time-dependent density functional theory-calculated electronic circular dichroism spectra, as well as single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis where applicable.

Five new bisabolane-type sesquiterpenoids (1-5) were isolated from the rhizomes of Curcuma longa, and all of them were oxygen-containing heterocyclic compounds. The structures of the compounds were elucidated using comprehensive spectroscopic techniques, and their absolute configurations were confirmed through electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. All of the compounds were evaluated for their vasorelaxant and anti-inflammatory activities.
