Nine undescribed oxidized ergosterols from the endophytic fungus Penicillium herquei and their cytotoxic activity

A chemical investigation of the EtOAc extract of the endophytic fungus Penicillium herquei led to the isolation of nine undescribed oxidized ergosterols, penicisterols A-I (1-9), along with ten known analogs (10-19). Their structures and absolute configurations were elucidated by a combination of spectroscopic data analysis, quantum-chemical electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations and comparisons, [Rh2(OCOCF3)4]-induced ECD experiments, DFT-calculated 13C chemical shifts and DP4+ probability analysis. Compound 1 was a rare example of ergosterol in which the bond between C-8 and C-9 was cleaved to form an enol ether. Moreover, compound 2 possessed a rare (2,5-dioxo-4-imidazolidinyl)-carbamic acid ester group substituted at C-3. All undescribed oxidized ergosterols (1-9) were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against five cancer cell lines including 4T1 (mouse breast carcinoma), A549 (human pulmonary carcinoma), HCT-116 (human colorectal carcinoma), HeLa (human cervical carcinoma) and Hepg2 (human hepatoma carcinoma) cells. Compounds 2 and 3 displayed moderate cytotoxic activity against 4T1, A549 and HeLa cells, with IC50 values ranging from 17.22 to 31.35 μM.
