Resumo

Two fungi, Fusarium guttiforme and Colletotrichum horii, were cultured under different conditions to obtain fourteen compounds. The axenic cultures of F. guttiforme and C. horii in potato dextrose broth (PDB) medium yielded fusaric acid (1), 9,10-dehydrofusaric acid (2), and tyrosol, whereas their co-cultivation produced fusarinol (5), a fusaric acid complex with magnesium (3), 9,10-dehydrofusaric acid complex with magnesium (4), and 5-butyl-5-(hydroxymethyl) dihydrofuranone (9). Upon changing the medium from PDB to Czapek, different compounds (uracil, p-hydroxy acetophenone, and cyclo(L-Leu-L-Pro) were obtained. Fusaric acid (1) was biotransformed into fusarinol (5) by C. horii, suggesting a detoxification process, and three other compounds were obtained: 7-hydroxyfusarinol (7), 9,10-dehydrofusarinol (6), and fusarinyl acetate (8). Epigenetic modulation of suberohydroxamic acid against F. guttiforme afforded gibepyrone B (10). These compounds were subjected to a papain inhibition enzymatic assay; the highest inhibitory activity was displayed by the two magnesium complexes, at 56 and 54% inhibition, respectively. (AU)
