TL;DR

Spirotryprostatins A and B had a novel structural skeleton with an unique spiro ring system and inhibited the cell cycle progression of tsFT210 cells at the G2/M phase with IC50 values of 197.5 μM and 14.0 μM, respectively.

Abstract

Four new natural diketopiperazine derivatives cyclotryprostatins A (1), B (2), C (3) and D (4), were isolated as new inhibitors of the mammalian cell cycle from the secondary metabolites of Aspergillus fumigatus BM939 through a separation procedure guided by cell cycle inhibitory acitivity. The structures of 1–4 were determined by spectroscopic methods especially by detailed analyses of their 1H and 13C NMR spectra with the aid of 2D NMR techniques. Compounds 1–4 inhibited the cell cycle progression of tsFT210 cells at the G2/M phase with IC50 values of 5.6 μM (1), 19.5 μM (2). 23.4 μM (3) and 25.3 μM (4), respectively.
