Abstract
Amoenucles A-F(1-6),six previously undescribed nucleoside derivatives,and two known analogs(7 and 8)were isolated from the culture of Aspergillus amoenus TJ507.Their struc-tures were elucidated through spectroscopic analysis,single-crystal X-ray crystallography,and chemical reactions.Notably,3 and 4 represent the first reported instances of nucleosides with an attached pyrrole moiety.Of particular significance,the absolute configuration of the sugar moiety of 1-4 was determined using nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR),electric circu-lar dichroism(ECD)calculations,and a hydrolysis reaction,presenting a potentially valuable method for confirming nucleoside structures.Furthermore,1,2,and 5-8 exhibited potential tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)inhibitory activities,which may provide a novel chemical template for the development of agents targeting autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
