Chemical Constituents from an Oyster-derived Fungus Westerdykella dispersa Ca4-13
Chromatographic separation of the liquid-state fermented products of the fungal strain Westerdykella dispersa Ca4-13 isolated from an edible oyster Crassostrea angulata collected from Yunlin, Taiwan has resulted in the isolation of compounds 1 – 6. The structures of compounds 1 – 6 were characterised by spectroscopic analysis to be westeroic acid A, westeroic acid B, auranticin A, auranticin B, pilobolusone C, and epi-radicinol ([Fig. 1]), respectively. Westeroic acid A, a rare C28 polyketide with a 6/6-spiro-linked δ- lactone moiety, and westeroic acid B, a C14 polyketide with a γ-lactone functionality, were previously unreported chemical entities. Of the compounds identified, 1, 2 and 6 exhibited anti-inflammatory activities with IC50 values ranging from 9.5 to 14.7 μM without any cytotoxicity, and compound 4 exhibited anti- Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) activity with an EC50 value of 38.1 μM. The aldehyde group of auanticin B (4) would play a vital role in its anti-EBV activity comparing the activity of 4 with those of its two analogues, auranticin A (3) and pilobolusone C (5).
