A Tricyclic Aromatic Polyketide Isolated from the Marine-Derived Fungus Curvularia aeria.

A novel tricyclic polyketide, curvulanone (1), was isolated from the marine-derived fungus Curvularia aeria. The structure of 1 was determined by NMR and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. 1 had a cyclopentabenzopyranone with 3-acetic acid structure that is rarely found in natural compounds. Monoamine oxidase and sirtuin 1 inhibitory test was exhibited and 1 showed their inhibitory activity.
