Abstract

Cytospones E-J (1-6), six unreported α-pyrone derivatives, together with six known ones (7-12) were isolated from the solid culture of the endophytic fungus Cytospora rhizophorae A761, an endophytic fungus from Gynochthodes officinalis. The structures of the unreported compounds were unambiguously elucidated through spectroscopic analyses (1D, 2D NMR and HRESIMS), and their absolute configurations were assigned by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (Cu Kα) analyses. Furthermore, cytospones E-J were evaluated for anti-inflammatory and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities.

Keywords: Anti-inflammatory activity; Cytospora rhizophorae; Endophytic fungus; Gynochthodes officinalis; α-Glucosidase inhibitory activity; α-Pyrone.
