Abstract

A 3,4-dihydroisocoumarin derivative fused with dihydrothiophene, talarolactone A (1), and two known compounds, terreusinone (2) and 4,6-dihydroxy-5-methylphthalide (3), were isolated from Talaromyces sp. associated with Xanthoparmelia angustiphylla. The structure of 1 was deduced from extensive spectroscopic data, electronic circular dichroism calculations, and X-ray diffraction analyses. A plausible biosynthetic pathway of 1 was further proposed. Compound 1 showed selective antimigratory activity in a wound-healing assay without appreciable cytotoxic activity.
