Eight new aspulvinone analogues, aspulvins A-H (1-8) and aspulvinones D, M, O, and R (9-12), were isolated from cultures of the endophytic fungus Cladosporium sp. 7951. Detailed spectroscopic analyses were conducted to determine the structures of the new compounds. All isolates displayed different degrees of inhibitory activity against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 main protease (SARS-CoV-2 M-pro) at 10 mu M. Notably, compounds 9, 10, and 12 showed potential SARSCoV-2M(pro) inhibition with IC50 values of 10.3 +/- 0.6, 9.4 +/- 0.6, and 7.7 +/- 0.6 mM, respectively. For all compounds except 3 and 4, the anti-inflammatory activity occurred by inhibiting the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) with IC50 values ranging from 0.7 to 7.4 mu M. Compound 10 showed the most potent anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting Casp-1 cleavage, IL-1 beta maturation, NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and pyroptosis. The findings reveal that the aspulvinone analogues 9, 10, and 12 could be promising candidates for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) treatment as they inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection and reduce inflammatory reactions caused by SARS-CoV-2.
