Article Description

Two new cyclohexadepsipeptides japonamides A (1) and B (2) were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of a marine-sponge-derived fungus Aspergillus japonicus based on molecular networking. Their structures were elucidated by comprehensive spectral analysis and their absolute configurations were confirmed by Marfey’s method. Compounds 1 and 2 showed no antifungal activities against Candida albicans SC5314 measured by the broth microdilution method but exhibited prominent synergistic antifungal activities in combination with fluconazole, ketoconazole, or rapamycin. The Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of rapamycin, fluconazole, and ketoconazole were significantly decreased from 0.5 to 0.002 μM, from 0.25 to 0.063 μM, and from 0.016 to 0.002 μM, in the presence of compounds 1 or 2 at 3.125 μM, 12.5 μM, and 6.25 μM, respectively. Surprisingly, the combination of compounds 1 or 2 with rapamycin showed a strong synergistic effect, with fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI) values of 0.03.
