Abstract

Four new compounds, namely, nectriapyrones A (2) and B (3), nectriaquinone B (5), and zythiostromic acid C (8), were isolated from the brown rice culture of Nectria pseudotrichia 120-1NP together with four known compounds (1, 4, 6, and 7). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of 4 from a natural source. Their structures were determined on the basis of 1D/2D-NMR spectroscopy and HRESITOFMS data. In addition, the absolute configuration of secondary alcohols in 8 were determined using modified Mosher's ester method. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobials activity, phytotoxicity, and cytotoxicity.

Keywords: Cytotoxicity; Endophyte; Isocoumarin; Naphthoquinone; Nectria pseudotrichia; Zythiostromic acid.
