Diaporisoindoles A (1) and B (2), two
novel isoprenylisoindole alkaloids, and an unusual diisoprenylisoindole
dimer diaporisoindole C (3), together with a precursor
tenellone C (4) were all isolated from the endophytic
fungus Diaporthe sp. SYSU-HQ3. The absolute configurations
of 1–4 were elucidated by spectroscopic
analysis, X-ray diffraction, and quantum chemical calculations. Diaporisoindole
A (1) and tenellone C (4) exhibited inhibitory
activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis protein
tyrosine phosphatase B with IC50 values of 4.2 and 5.2
μM.
