- Abstract
Ent -homocyclopiamine B ( 1 ), a new prenylated indole alkaloid bearing an alicyclic nitro group along with 2-methylbutane-1,2,4-triol ( 2 ) were isolated from an endophytic fungus Penicillium concentricum of the liverwort Trichocolea tomentella (Trichocoleaceae). The structure of 1 was elucidated through extensive spectroscopic analyses and comparison with data reported for a structurally related nitro-bearing Penicillium metabolite, clopiamine C ( 3 ), which contain an indolizidine ring instead of the quinolizine ring in 1 . The new compound, ent -homocyclopiamine B, exhibited slight growth inhibition against Gram-positive bacteria. Based on the reported biosynthesis of related compounds and the isolation of the mevalonic acid derived compound 2-methyl-1,2,4-butanetriol ( 2 ), we proposed that ent -homocylopiamine B ( 1 ) was biosynthesized from lysine and prenyl group-producing mevalonic pathway.
