Two new compounds, an abscisic acid-type sesquiterpene (1), and one asterric acid derivative (2), together with three known compounds (3-5) were isolation from mangrove endophytic fungus Pleosporales sp. SK7. The structures of these metabolites were determined by NMR, X-ray crystal diffraction, CD and HR-ESI-MS. All compounds were tested for their antibacterial, antioxidant and cytotoxic activities, among these compounds, 5 showed cytotoxicity against MDA-MB-435 cell with an IC 50 of 25.96±0.32 μM.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
