New Cyclic Pentapeptides from the Mangrove-Derived Aspergillus fumigatus GXIMD 03099

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Four new cyclic pentapeptides, avellanins D–G (1–4), together with four known compounds (5–8), were isolated from a mangrove-derived Aspergillus fumigatus GXIMD 03099 fungus from Acanthus ilicifolius L. Their structures were elucidated by analysis of HRESIMS, NMR, and ESI-MS/MS data. Their absolute configurations were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis and Marfey’s method. Compounds 1–8 were screened for insecticidal and antibacterial activities. Compound 2 showed insecticidal activity against newly hatched larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus with an LC50 value of 86.6 µM; compound 4 had weak activity against Vibrio harveyi with an MIC value of 5.85 µM.
