Abstract
AIMS: This study aims to prioritize fungal strains recovered from under-explored habitats that produce new metabolites. HRMS dereplication is used to avoid structure redundancy and molecular modelling is used to assign absolute configuration.
METHODS AND RESULTS: MBC15-11F was isolated from an amphipod and identified using ITS, 28S, and β-tubulin phylogeny as Aspergillus sydowii. Chemical profiling using taxonomic-based dereplication identified structurally diverse metabolites, including unreported ones. Large-scale fermentation led to the discovery of a new N-acyl adenosine derivative: (S)-sydosine (1) which was elucidated by NMR and HRESIMS analyses. Two known compounds were also identified as predicted by the initial dereplication process. Due to scarcity of 1, molecular modelling was used to assign its absolute configuration without hydrolysis, and is supported by advanced Mosher derivatization. When the isolated compounds were assessed against a panel of bacterial pathogens, only phenamide (3) showed anti-Staphylococcus aureus activity.
CONCLUSION: Fermentation of A. sydowii yielded a new (S)-sydosine and known metabolites as predicted by HRESIMS-aided dereplication. Molecular modelling prediction of the absolute configuration of 1 agreed with advanced Mosher analysis.
