Abstract. Losung F, Ginting EL, Abdjul B, Kapojos MM, Maarisit W, Mentang Sumilat DA, Balansa Mangindaan REP. 2023. Antimicrobial and FAD synthetases modulating activities of leporins A-C isolated from the sponge-associated fungus Trichoderma sp. Biodiversitas 24: 6502-6515. The emergence microbial resistance poses a formidable threat to human health, requiring discovery new antibiotics. In this study, we investigated antimicrobial potential molecular structures metabolites produced by sponge's symbiont fungal species, sp., in vitro against S. aureus IAM 12544T Candida albicans IFM 4954 in-silico emerging antibacterial target, prokaryotic bifunctional (FADS). were determined using spectroscopic techniques (1D, 2D NMR, HRESIMS), while assessment biological activities, physicochemical properties, modifications was performed through slightly modified disk agar diffusion method, docking, SwissAdme pkCMS tools, bioisosterism, respectively. analysis data supported identification (1-3) as metabolites, which exhibited strong binding affinities 2X0K protein target (-8.9 -9.4 kcal/mol). Despite their being weaker than known FADS modulators such compounds 4 (-10.5 kcal/mol) 5 kcal/mol), demonstrated stronger affinity compound 6 (-9.6 -10.5 Notably, substituting methyl group with fluorine atom 1-3 resulted lepofluorins (1a-3a), enhanced improved properties compared existing modulators. These findings suggest that (1-3), particularly have putative novel FADS. This study provides valuable insights into design development antibiotics combat resistance.
