Journal of natural products 2020 Apr 24Seven unusual new ene-yne hydroquinones (1-3, 5-8), including three rare glycosylated derivatives named pestalotioquinosides A-C (6-8), were obtained from the marine-derived strain SCSIO41403 of the fungus Pestalotiopsis neglecta. Their structures including absolute configurations were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis and induced electronic circular dichroism experiments. In silico molecular docking and in vitro surface plasmon resonance studies showed that pestalotioquinoside C (8) could act as a liver X receptor alpha (LXRα) modulator. Further study showed that LXR target gene ABCA1 was significantly upregulated by 8, which revealed 8 as a potential LXRα agonist.
