Two new secondary metabolites from the mangrove endophytic fungus Pleosporales sp. SK7.

ABSTRACT

Two new compounds, an abscisic acid-type sesquiterpene (1), and one asterric acid derivative (2), together with three known compounds (3-5) were isolated from mangrove endophytic fungus Pleosporales sp. SK7. The structures of these metabolites were determined by NMR, X-ray crystal diffraction, CD and HR-ESI-MS. All compounds were tested for their antibacterial, antioxidant and cytotoxic activities, among these compounds, 5 showed cytotoxicity against MDA-MB-435 cell with an IC50 of 25.96 ± 0.32 µM.
