(Received 11 July 2010; accepted 2 August 2010; online 11 August 2010)

The title compound, C8H10O4, was isolated from culture extracts of the endophytic fungus Xylaria sp. (PB-30). The cyclo­hexenone ring exhibits a flattened boat conformation. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules related by translation along the b axis are linked into chains through O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Weak non-classical C—H⋯O contacts are also observed in the structure.

Endophytic fungi have been proven to be a rich source of novel structural compounds with interesting biological activities and a high level of biodiversity. In the previous investigations of bioactive compounds produced by an endophytic fungus, Xylaria sp (strain PB-30), two antimalarial benzoquinones were isolated (Tansuwan et al., 2007). As a part of our continuing search for anticancer metabolites of this fungus, we found that the title compound is one of major metabolite showing cytotoxicity against various human cell lines, for example breast ductal carcinoma (BT474), human undifferentiated lung carcinoma (CHAGO), human liver hepatoblastoma (HEP-G2), human gastric carcinoma (KATO-3), and human colon adenocarcinoma (SW620) at IC50 values of 10.51, 11.11, 6.25, 5.61 and 5.31 µg/ml, respectively.

The title compound was previously isolated from the organic extracts of the fungus xylariaceous endophytic fungus (strain YUA-026), and elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis (Shiono et al., 2005). Herein we present the crystal structure of the title compound, which was isolated from the fermentation culture of the endophytic fungus Xylaria sp (strain PB-30) at room temperature under a static condition.

The cyclohexenone ring exhibits a flattened boat conformation with puckering amplitudes Q = 0.232 (1), φ = 176.5 (3)° and θ = 81.8°. The 3-methoxy substitutent is in the plane of the cyclohexenone ring to which it is attached [dihedral angle = 7.4 (2)°]. Epoxide ring makes dihedral angles of 87.23 (6)° with the cyclohexenone rings C1—C6. The hydroxyl group locates on the same side of the epoxide ring. In the crystal, the molecules are linked to each other through O—H···O hydrogen bonds, building a polymeric chain parallel to the b-axis. Weak non-classical C—H···O contacts are also observed in the structure. The absolute configuration could not be determined therefore it was assigned on the basis of literature data (Shiono et al., 2005).

Experimental top

The endophytic fungus Xylaria sp. PB-30 was cultivated in 100 ml of malt extract broth (MEB) in a 250 ml flask (x 300) under static condition at room temperature for 35 days. The culture was filtered through filter paper (Whatman No.1). The culture broth (23 L) was concentrated by rotary evaporator in vacuo to give the concentrated broth (1.5 L) and then extracted with EtOAc (x5), CH2Cl2: MeOH (1:1) (x5) and MeOH (x5), respectively. The solvents were evaporated under reduced pressure at 30°C to give EtOAc crude as yellow viscous liquid (29.61 g), CH2Cl2: MeOH crude as brown viscous liquid (21.45 g) and MeOH crude as brown viscous liquid (4.74 g).

The EtOAc crude extract (29.61 g) was subjected to a column chromatography [SephadexTM LH-20 (400 g), column diameter 3.6 cm] using 5% dichloromethane in MeOH as eluent. 10 ml of each fraction was collected. The similar fractions were combined on the basis of TLC profile and monitored by UV, iodine vapor and vanillin/H2SO4 reagent to give 14 combined fractions.

The fractions EB-5 and EB-6 were combined and purified by crystallization from a 1:1 mixture of CH2Cl2 and acetone to obtain the title compound as colorless crystals (25.8 mg).

Refinement top

All H atoms were positioned geometrically and treated as riding, with C—H bonding lengths constrained to 0.93 Å (aromatic CH), 0.96 Å (methyl CH3), 0.97 Å (methylene CH2), and O—H = 0.84 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(CH) or Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(CH3, methylene C or OH). 1159 Friedel pair were merged before the final refinement. The absolute configuration was assigned on the basis of the known configuration of the starting material as R, S and S for C4, C5 and C6-positions, respectively.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
