Abstract

We describe a Sabicea cinerea endophytic fungus closely related to Diaporthe pseudomangiferae that produces two known metabolites, mycoepoxydiene (1) and altiloxin A (2), as well as enamidin (3) and eremofortin F (4), two compounds not previously described in the literature. The structure of these four metabolites was elucidated using spectroscopic analysis, and their cytotoxic activities were measured against the human cell lines KB, MRC-5, and MDA-MB-435.
