Structure and absolute configuration assignments of ochracines F–L, chamigrane and cadinane sesquiterpenes from the basidiomycete Steccherinum ochraceum HFG119

Ochracines F–L (1–7), seven previously undescribed chamigrane and cadinane sesquiterpenoids, together with four known chamigranes were isolated from cultures of the wood-decaying fungus Steccherinum ochraceum HFG119. Ochracines F–L were structurally characterized by extensive analysis of HRMS and NMR spectroscopic data. The relative configurations were assigned through a combination of NOE correlations and J-based configuration analysis (JBCA), while the absolute configurations were determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction, and calculated methods (ECD, [α], 13C NMR). All the new isolates were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against five human cancer cell lines HL-60, SMMC-7721, A549, MCF-7, and SW-480, and inhibitory activity on NO production in RAW 264.7 macrophages.
