Abstract
Chemical investigation of one fungal strain P. chlamydosporia YMF 1.00613 isolated from root knots of tobacco infected by Meloidogyne incognita led to the isolation and identification of four aurovertin-type metabolites, which include a new compound, aurovertin I (A1), and three known metabolites, aurovertins E, F and D (A2-A4). Their structures were established by spectroscopic studies such as 1D- and 2D-NMR and MS analysis. Aurovertin I (A1) is the first natural product with an aurovertin skeleton with one less carbon. Compounds A3 and A4 showed the toxicity to the worms of the free-living nematode Panagrellus redivevus with the LC(50) values 88.6 and 41.7 microg/mL at 48 h, respectively. All four aurovertins did not show obvious inhibitory effects on egg hatch of root knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita. The results suggested that the aurovertin-type metabolites produced by P. chlamydosporia might be one of the pathogenic factors involved in the suppression of nematodes.
