A new furanone analog, (E)-2-(8,9-dihydroxy-6,8-dimethyldec-4-en-2-yl)-met-hylfuran-3(2H)-one (1), together with six known compounds, including two diterpenoids (2 and 3), one butyrolactone (4) and three isocoumarins (5-7), were isolated from a deep-sea fungus, Purpureocillium sp. SCSIO 06693. Among them, compound 1 existed as two tautomeric forms (1a and 1b) differing in configuration of the furan ring. The chemical structures were elucidated by the basis of spectroscopic evidences, including HRESIMS, NMR and optical rotation. Isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic, antiviral, antibacterial, antioxidant, acetyl cholinesterase (AChE) and pancreatic lipase (PL) enzyme inhibitory activities. Biological evaluation results revealed that compound 4 showed modest antioxidant activity against DPPH with IC50 value of 72.03 μM. In addition, compounds 1-4 exhibited PL enzyme inhibitory activities.
