The semi-synthesis of 11 isatin derivatives was achieved through bimolecular nucleophilic substitution and click chemistry. Seven new compounds were obtained. All chemical structures were determined by infrared spectroscopy (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry (NMR) and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) data. These derivatives were evaluated for their anti-GSK-3 activity and all isatin derivativ...
Ethyl acetate extracts of cultures grown in liquid Czapek and on solid rice media of the fungal endophyte Fusarium oxysporum SS46 isolated from the medicinal plant Smallanthus sonchifolius (Poepp.) H. Rob., Asteraceae, exhibited considerable cytotoxic activity when tested in vitro against human cancer cells. Chromatographic separation yielded anhydrofusarubin (1) and beauvericin (2) that were identified based o...
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico; Microrganismos endofíticos vivem intra e/ou intercelularmente em plantas hospedeiras, sem causar danos aparentes e são de grande importância biotecnológica para a indústria, agricultura e medicina. A planta medicinal Borreria verticillata, conhecida popularmente como vassourinha-de-botão é utilizada no tratamento de infecções e inflamações, além de ...
Three new azaphilones with an unusual methylene bridge, named mycoleptones A, B, and C (2, 4, and 5), were isolated from cultures of Mycoleptodiscus indicus, a fungus associated with the South American medicinal plant Borreria verticillata. Additionally, four known polyketides, austdiol (1), eugenitin (3), 6-methoxyeugenin (6), and 9- hydroxyeugenin (7), were also isolated. The structural characterization of co...
