Abstract

Seven new decahydrofluorene-class alkaloids, pyrrospirones K-Q (1-7), together with six known analogues (8-13) were isolated from the marine-derived fungal strain Penicillium sp. SCSIO 41512. Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis, and their absolute configurations were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and quantum chemical calculations of electronic circular dichroism spectra. Compounds 1 and 3 possess a novel decahydrofluorene-class alkaloid skeleton with a 6/5/6/8/5/6/13 and a 6/5/6/5/6/13 polycyclic system, respectively. Biologically, 13 displayed significant inhibitory activity against protein tyrosine phosphatases CD45, TCPTP, SHP1, and PTP1B with IC50 values of 8.1-17.8 μM, and 1, 2, 5, 8-10, 12, and 13 showed antibacterial activity against six pathogens. Their structure-activity relationship is also discussed.
