Abstract

Under the guidance of MS/MS-based molecular networking, eight odoriferous sesquiterpenes including two undescribed geosmin-type sesquiterpenoid degradations, odoripenoid A (1) and odoripenoid B (2), and two undescribed germacrane-type sesquiterpenoids, odoripenoid C (3) and odoripenoid (4), together with four known related compounds (5–8) were isolated from the EtOAc extract of the marine mesophotic zone sponge-associated Streptomyces sp. NBU3428. All chemical structures including absolute configurations of these compounds were elucidated by means of HRESIMS, NMR, ECD calculations and single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments. Compounds 1 and 2 represent the rarely geosmin-related metabolites directly as natural products from actinomycetes. The isolated compounds (1–8) were assayed in a range of biological activities. Compounds 1 and 2 showed anti-Candida albicans activity with MIC values of 16 and 32 μg/mL, respectively, representing potential antifungal agents.
