Thiocladospolides A-D, 12-Membered Macrolides from the Mangrove-Derived Endophytic Fungus Cladosporium cladosporioides MA-299 and Structure Revision of Pandangolide 3

摘要

Four new 12-membered macrolides, thiocladospolides A-D (1-4), each possessing a sulfur substitution at C-2, along with the known congener pandangolide 3 (5) and the possible hydrolysis product seco-patulolide C (6), were isolated and identified from the culture extract of Cladosporium cladosporioides MA-299, an endophytic fungus obtained from the leaves of the mangrove plant Bruguiera gymnorrhiza. Their structures were established by interpretation of the NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometric data. X-ray crystallographic analysis of compound 1, which represents the first crystal structure described for a sulfur-containing 12-membered macrolide, confirmed its structure and absolute configuration. The proposed sulfur side chain at C-3 in pandangolide 3 (5) was revised to be at C-2 by detailed analysis of the NMR data and by a comparison with data for thiocladospolide A (1). The structures for pandangolides 2 and 4 should also be considered for revisions. The isolated compounds were evaluated for the antimicrobial activities against aquatic bacteria and plant pathogens.
