The new compound isoacremine D (1) and acremine A (2) that was previously unknown for marine organisms were isolated from the marine isolate of the fungus Myceliophthora lutea. It was found that acremine A in CHCl 3 was converted through the action of light into spirocompounds called by us spiroacremines A (3) and B (4). The structures of the compounds were elucidated based on NMR spectroscopic and high-resolution mass spectrometric data. The absolute stereochemistry of the spiroacremines was determined by Mosher's method. It was shown that isoacremine D exhibited antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus at a concentration of 200 Pg/mL and cytotoxic activity against embryos of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus nudus. It was found that 1-4 exhibited cytotoxic activity against sea urchin sperm cells.Keywords: acremines, marine isolate of the fungus Myceliophthora lutea, NMR data, 1-oxaspiro [4,5]decenes.Facultative and obligate marine microscopic fungi are sources of biologically active secondary metabolites [1][2][3]. In continuation of the search for producers of biologically active compounds among marine isolates of microscopic fungi, we determined that the fungus Myceliophthora lutea Costantin [4], which was isolated from marine sediments of Sakhalin Bay (Sea of Okhotsk), synthesizes compounds with antibacterial and cytotoxic activities. Little is known about secondary metabolites from fungi of the genus Myceliophthora although these fungi are often encountered and can be isolated from various substrates [5][6][7][8]. Herein we present data on the isolation and identification of known acremine A (2) [9] and previously unknown compounds called by us isoacremine D (1) and spiroacremines A (3) and B (4). The last two compounds are apparently artifacts of the isolation process.The fungus was cultivated on solid medium for 21 d at 22°C in order to produce the metabolites. The dried EtOAc extract of the biomass produced a CHCl 3 extract, separation of which over silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 afforded pure 1 and 2 ( Fig. 1) in addition to 3 and 4, which were not present in the starting total EtOAc extract according to TLC (Fig. 2).The empirical formula of 1 was determined as C 12 H 14 O 3 on the basis of the high-resolution mass spectrum and NMR spectra. The PMR spectrum of 1 contained three 3H-singlets in the range 1.55-2.27 ppm, indicative of three tertiary methyls in its structure. The DEPT and HSQC spectra of 1 confirmed the presence of three methyls (G C 17.6, 31.0, 31.0 ppm) and also indicated that three methine groups were present (G C 101.2, 106.5, 113.4). The remaining six C atoms were classified as quaternary (G C 165.9, 153.0, 150.8, 128.6, 123.1, 69.7). Figure 1 shows the key HMBC-correlations of 1.
