Amiaspochalasins A-H, Undescribed Aspochalasins with a C-21 Ester Carbonyl from Aspergillus micronesiensis.

Amiaspochalasins A-H (1-8), eight undescribed aspochalasins, and trichalasin D (9), a known analogue, were isolated from the solid culture of Aspergillus micronesiensis. Compounds 1-9 are aspochalasins with a C-21 ester carbonyl, and their structures were determined by spectroscopic data, X-ray crystallographic analyses, electronic circular dichroism calculations, and chemical methods. The CH3-25 in compound 1 is located at C-16 rather than C-14 in the previously reported aspochalasins, endowing 1 with an unexpected carbon skeleton. Compounds 2 and 3 are the first examples of aspochalasins with an unprecedented 5/6/6/8 tetracyclic ring system. Compounds 4 and 5 are diastereomers of aspochalasins I and J, respectively. Compounds 6 and 7 are the first aspochalasins featuring a long open-chain system, and their absolute configurations were discussed by comparing the NMR data of the hydrolysis and methyl esterification products of 4 and 5. Compound 8 is an isomeride of 9. The cytotoxic and antimicrobial effects of 1-9 were tested.
