Deskripsi

Two novel altenusin-thiazole hybrids named altenusinoides A and B (<b>1</b> and <b>2</b>), a new benzothiazole derivative (<b>3</b>), and three known altenusin derivatives (<b>4</b>&#8315;<b>6</b>) have been obtained from the solid culture of the marine sponge-derived fungal strain, <i>Alternaria</i> sp. SCSIOS02F49. The structures of these new compounds were characterized by NMR, HRESIMS, and X-ray single crystal analysis. Compounds <b>1</b> and <b>2</b> possess an unusual altenusin-thiazole-fused skeleton core (6/6/5), and compound <b>3</b> represents the first benzothiazole derivative from fungi. Compounds <b>4</b> and <b>5</b> showed significant DPPH free-radical-scavenging activities with the prominent IC<sub>50</sub> values of 10.7 &#177; 0.09 &#956;M and 100.6 &#177; 0.025 &#956;M, respectively. Additionally, compound <b>5</b> exhibited COX-2 inhibitory activity with an IC<sub>50</sub> value of 9.5 &#177; 0.08 &#956;M.
