Abstract

New tetramic acid derivatives, (±)-conipyridoins A-D (1-4), conipyridoins E (5) and F (6), and new 4-hydroxy-2-pyridone alkaloids (±)-didymellamide E (7), (+)-didymellamide B (8), (+)-N-hydroxyapiosporamide (9), and didymellamides F-H (10-12) were isolated and identified from the solid culture of the fungus Coniochaeta cephalothecoides. Chiral resolution of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 gave five pairs of enantiomers: 1a/1b, 2a/2b, 3a/3b, 4a/4b, and 7a/7b, respectively. Stereochemistry of 1a and 1b, and 2a and 2b was established and confirmed by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) methods. Absolute configuration in 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b, 7a, and 7b was assigned by ECD calculations. Compounds 1-6 possess an unprecedented chemical skeleton featuring a decalin ring and a tetramic acid moiety. Compound 11 significantly inhibited the growth of Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 3.13 and 1.56 μM, respectively, and was further confirmed to be a new chitin synthesis inhibitor. Compound 5 exhibited the strongest activity against the growth of both Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA with MIC value of 0.97 μM. In the light of a co-occurrence of 3-acyl tetramic acids and biogenetically related pyridine alkaloids, the biosynthetic pathway for 1-12 was postulated.
