TLDR
New racemic dispiranic polyketides, tsavoenones A (1), B (2) and C (3), having a novel 1,7-dioxadispiro[4.0.4.4]tetradecane scaffold were isolated from the foliose lichen Parmotrema tsavoense and displayed a moderate activity against human myelogenous leukemia K562 cell line.
Abstract
New racemic dispiranic polyketides, tsavoenones A (1), B (2) and C (3), having a novel 1,7-dioxadispiro[4.0.4.4]tetradecane scaffold were isolated from the foliose lichen Parmotrema tsavoense. These compounds were structurally elucidated by extensive NMR analyses, comparison between experimental and theoretical 13C NMR data and X-ray crystallography. A putative biosynthetic scenario for the formation of 1-3 from parmosidone D, a meta-depsidone previously isolated from the same lichen material, was proposed. Tested for its cytotoxicity, 1 displayed a moderate activity against human myelogenous leukemia K562 cell line with an IC50 value of 66 μg mL-1.

A database of high-resolution MS/MS spectra for lichen metabolites.

TL;DR: An open access MS/MS library with 250 metabolites, coined LDB for Lichen DataBase, providing a comprehensive coverage of lichen chemodiversity, revealing the detection of eleven unique molecules that would have been missed without LDB implementation to the GNPS.

α-Glucosidase Inhibitory Depsidones from the Lichen Parmotrema tsavoense.

TL;DR: Chemical investigation of the lichen Parmotrema tsavoense led to the isolation of 5 new depsidones, parmosidones F’- J, which were structurally elucidated using spectroscopic methods including HRESIMS and 2D NMR data.

A new depsidone from the lichen Usnea ceratina Arch.

TL;DR: Five depsidones were isolated from the lichen Usnea ceratina Arch, including one new compound ceratinalone, along with four known compounds bailesidone, stictic acid, 8'-O-methylstictic Acid and 8-ethylstictIC acid, determined by analysis of their MS and NMR data as well as by comparison with literature values.

DP4-Assisted Structure Elucidation of Isodemethylchodatin, a New Norlichexanthone Derivative Meager in H-Atoms, from the Lichen Parmotrema tsavoense.

TL;DR: Isodemethylchodatin represents the first chlorinated lic hexanthone/norlichexanthone derivative bearing a methoxy group at C-5, and was determined based on an integrated interpretation of 13C-NMR chemical shifts, MS spectra, and DP4-based computational chemistry.

Assigning Stereochemistry to Single Diastereoisomers by GIAO NMR Calculation: The DP4 Probability

TL;DR: A new probability measure, which is termed DP4, complements the probabilities obtained from the previously developed CP3 parameter, which applies to the case of assigning a pair of diastereoisomers when one has both experimental data sets.

Identification of the Viridicatumtoxin and Griseofulvin Gene Clusters from Penicillium aethiopicum

TL;DR: Discovery of the vrt and gsf clusters provided the basis for genetic and biochemical studies of the pathways and were identified as the chlorinase involved in the biosynthesis of 2, because deletion of gsfI resulted in the accumulation of decholorogriseofulvin 3.

Complexity generation in fungal polyketide biosynthesis: A spirocycle-forming P450 in the concise pathway to the antifungal drug griseofulvin

TL;DR: This work systematically characterized each of the biosynthetic enzymes related to the biogenesis of 1, including the characterization of a new polyketide synthase GsfA that synthesizes the benzophenone precursor and a cytochrome P450 GsfF that performs oxidative coupling between the orcinol and the phloroglucinol rings to yield the grisan structure.
