Popis: Sixteen metabolites, including seven C7-alkylated salicylaldehyde derivatives (1-7) and nine prenylated indole alkaloids (8-16), three of which are new, namely, asperglaucins A and B (1 and 2) and neoechinulin F (8), were separated from the endolichenic fungus Aspergillus chevalieri SQ-8. Asperglaucin A (1) represents an unusual phthalide-like derivative with a benzo[c]thiophen-1(3H)-one scaffold. All compounds were assessed in vitro for antibacterial, antineuroinflammatory, and antioxidant activities. Notably, asperglaucins A and B exhibited potent antibacterial activities against two plant pathogens Pseudomonas syringae pv actinidae (Psa) and Bacillus cereus, with an MIC value of 6.25 μM; further SEM analyses illustrated that the possible bacteriostatic mechanisms for compounds 1 and 2 were to alter the external structure of B. cereus and Psa, and to cause the rupture or deformation of the cell membranes, respectively, and the results suggest that compounds 1 and 2 may serve as potential promising candidates for lead compounds of agrochemical bactericides. Furthermore, compounds 6 and 10 significantly inhibited nitric oxide production with an IC50 value of ca. 12 μM, and the possible anti-inflammatory mechanisms involved were also studied by molecular docking. Finally, the tested phenolics 3-5 showed significant antioxidative effects. Thus, strain SQ-8 represents a novel resource of these bioactive metabolites to be utilized.
