Two new diphenyl ethers (1 and 2) and four new phenolic bisabolane sesquiterpenoids (3-6), together with five known related derivatives, were isolated from the culture of the endophytic fungus Aspergillus flavus QQSG-3 obtained from a fresh branch of Kandelia obobata, which was collected from Huizhou city in the province of Guangdong, China. The structures of compounds 1-6 were determined by analyzing NMR and HRESIMS data. The absolute configurations of 5 and 6 were assigned by comparing their experimental ECD spectra with those reported for similar compounds in the literature. All isolates were evaluated for their -glucosidase inhibitory activity, of which compounds 3, 5, 10, and 11 showed strong inhibitory effects with IC50 values in the range of 1.5-4.5 M.

Among the major cardenolides from the milkweed Asclepias asperula, 6'-O-(E-4-hydroxycinnamoyl) desglucouzarin has not been characterized biochemically. In this study, its binding affinity for a physiological receptor, porcine kidney Na+,K+-ATPase, was found to be lower than the other cardenolides in this plant. The order of affinities from highest to lowest was: uzarigenin (K(d) = 1.05 μM) = desglucouzarin (K(d) = 0.98 μM) > uzarin (K(d) = 4.0 μM) > 6'-O-(E-4-hydroxycinnamoyl) desglucouzarin (K(d) = 16 μM). The chemical attachment of the 4-hydroxycinnamoyl group to the 6'-carbon of desglucouzarin significantly inhibits binding. This agrees with predictions that a 5'-methyl group on cardenolides fits the receptor site optimally for the porcine kidney enzyme. The 4-hydroxycinnamic ester was also found to be fluorescent.
