Pyranonigrins A, B, C, D and S have been shown to be secondary metabolites produced by Aspergillus niger LL-LV3020 when grown on a solid culture. 1, 2 The 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity of pyranonigrin A was also reported in previous studies. 3, 4 Pyranonigrins possess unique structures (Figure 1); however, biosynthetic studies on pyranonigrins have not been conducted. We recently found that an acetone extract of A. niger NBRC5374 grown on potato dextrose agar shows a potent 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity and isolated a new pyranonigrin derivative (pyranonigrin E) in addition to pyranonigrins A and S as the antioxidative compounds. In this study, we report the isolation, structural determination and 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity of pyranonigrin E. We also investigated the biosynthesis of pyranonigrin A in feeding experiments using sodium [1-13C] acetate, sodium [2-13C] acetate, sodium [1, 2-13C2] acetate and [1-13C] glycine, and showed that it was composed of four units of acetate and one unit of glycine.To produce and isolate pyranonigrin E, 1ml of the A. niger NBRC5374 spore solution (1Â 106 spores per ml) was dropped on the potato dextrose agar agar (100ml) in an Erlenmeyer flask and spread all over its surface. Twenty flasks were cultured statically for 48h at 301C (spore formation started after 30h and became stationary after 48h).
