Bidysoxyphenols A-C, dimeric sesquiterpene phenols from the leaves of Dysoxylum parasiticum (Osbeck) Kosterm.

Three new sesquiterpene phenol dimers, bidysoxyphenols A-C (2-4), along with two known compounds, namely sesquiterpene phenol (1) and ionone derivatives (5), were isolated from the leaves of Dysoxylum parasiticum (Osbeck) Kosterm. The structures of these new compounds, including their absolute configurations, were elucidated by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, high-resolution electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and electronic circular dichroism. Compounds 1 and 2 showed cytotoxicity against human promyelocytic leukemia cells, with IC50 values of 18.25 ± 1.52 and 39.04 ± 3.12 µM, respectively.

Cochlioquinone derivatives produced by coculture of endophytes, Clonostachys rosea and Nectria pseudotrichia.

Three new meroterpenoid derivatives, furanocochlioquinol (1) and furanocochlioquinone (2), as well as nectrianolin D (3), together with two known biogenetically related compounds 4 and 5 were isolated from a mixed culture of two mangrove-derived fungi, Clonostachys rosea B5-2 and Nectria pseudotrichia B69-1. The structures of 1-3 were deduced based on the interpretation of HRMS and NMR data. Compounds 1-5 exhibited cytotoxicity against human promyelocytic leukemia (HL60) cells with IC50 values ranging from 0.47 to 10.16 µM.
