Nat Prod Res. 2024 Mar 25:1-8. doi: 10.1080/14786419.2024.2333050. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOne new indole diterpenoid, ascandinine T (1), and three known analogues (2-4) were isolated from an Antarctic sponge-derived fungus Aspergillus candidus HDN15-152. The structures, including absolute configurations, were established based on NMR, HRESIMS, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. All isolated compounds were tested for antiviral and anticancer activity. Compound 4 displayed antiviral activity against influenza A virus (IAV) of A/PR/8/34(H1N1) strain with an IC50 value of 39.2 μM, while compound 2 showed cytotoxicity against NCI-H446, NCI-H446/EP and L-02 cells with IC50 values ranging from 9.77 to 13.91 μM.PMID:38526199 | DOI:10.1080/14786419.2024.2333050
