To discover novel natural compounds by awakening unexplored or silent BGCs in fungi, our research group has explored the cultured broths of the laeA-introduced mutant fungal strains. In this study, we report the isolation of a new benzoyl sesquiterpenoid, aoganolide (4), as well as three known compounds, decarboxyaltenusin (1), altenusin (2), and penipyranicin B (3), from the cultured broth of Talaromyces sp. KTF-0021, which was a laeA-introduced mutant of FKI-5759 strain. The planar structure of 4 was elucidated by spectroscopic analysis and the absolute configuration of 4 was determined by the calculated ECD spectral method. Among them, 4 showed antimalarial activity with IC50 values of 4.37 and 6.46 µg ml-1 against Plasmodium falciparum FCR3 and K1 strains, respectively. The laeA-introduced mutant strain produced 2, 3, and 4 with higher productivity (47, 623, and 38 mg l-1) than the wild-type strain (1.4, 0.8, and 7.7 mg l-1), respectively, suggesting this method is useful to expand the chemical diversity of natural products.
