Bioactive steroids and sorbicillinoids isolated from the endophytic fungus Trichoderma sp. Xy24.

A new steroid glucoside (1), along with nine known steroids (2–10) and four known sorbicillinoids (11–14), were isolated from the endophytic fungusTrichodermasp. Xy24. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data analyses and by comparison with reported data. Compounds3,5–7,9,10, and13exhibited significant inhibitory effects on HIV-1 virus with IC50values ranging 1.9–9.3 μM; compounds10,13, and14showed potent inhibitory activity on LPS-induced NO production in BV2 microglia cells with inhibitory rates of 108.2, 100, and 75.1% at 10 μM, respectively. In addition, compound10displayed moderate cytotoxicity against BCG823 and HePG2 cell lines with IC50values of 11.1 and 17.7 μM, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
