Description
Summary:Three new quinazoline-containing diketopiperazines, polonimides A-C ( - ), along with four analogues ( - ), were obtained from the marine-derived fungus . Among them, and , and were epimers, respectively, resulting the difficulty in the determination of their configurations. The configurations of - were determined by 1D nuclear overhauser effect (NOE), Marfey and electron circular dichroism (ECD) methods. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) calculation with the combination of DP4plus probability method was used to distinguish the absolute configurations of C-3 in and . All of - were tested for their chitinase inhibitory activity against Hex1 and Chi-h and cytotoxicity against A549, HGC-27 and UMUC-3 cell lines. Compounds - exhibited weak activity towards Hex1 and strong activity towards Chi-h at a concentration of 10.0 μM, with the inhibition rates of 0.7%-10.3% and 79.1%-95.4%, respectively. Interestingly, - showed low cytotoxicity against A549, HGC-27 and UMUC-3 cell lines, suggesting that good prospect of this cluster of metabolites for drug discovery.
