Cytotoxic anthrone–cyclopentenone heterodimers from the fungus Penicillium sp. guided by molecular networking

  • (±)-Penicithrones A–D (1a/1b4a/4b), four novel pairs of anthrone–cyclopentenone heterodimers characterized by a distinctive bridged 6/6/6−5 tetracyclic core skeleton, together with three previously identified compounds (57), were isolated from the crude extract of the mangrove-derived fungus Penicillium sp., guided by heteronuclear single quantum correlation (HSQC)-based small molecule accurate recognition technology (SMART 2.0) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based molecular networking. The structural elucidation of new compounds was accomplished through comprehensive spectroscopic analysis, and their absolute configurations were determined using DP4+ 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) calculations and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Compounds 1a/1b4a/4b demonstrated moderate cytotoxicity against three human cancer cell lines HeLa, HCT116 and MCF-7 with half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values ranging from 15.95 ± 1.64 to 28.56 ± 2.59 μmol·L–1.
