Abstract

Cyophiobiolins A-D, four unreported ophiobolin-type sesterterpenoids, were isolated from Cytospora rhizophorae A761, an endophytic fungus from Gynochthodes officinalis. The structures of these undescribed compounds were fully characterized on the basis of extensively spectroscopic data (1D, 2D NMR and HRESIMS) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Moreover, cyophiobiolins A-D were evaluated for in vitro cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial activities. Cyophiobiolins A-B showed inhibitory potency against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced oxide production with IC50 values of 66.3 μM and 53.3 μM, respectively.
