“…In our research program with an objective to search for new bioactive compounds from marine-derived fungi, we investigated several members of the genus Neosartorya (Trichocomaceae) isolated from different marine organisms such as sponges, coral, and algae. Many different chemical classes of secondary metabolites, such as polyketides, isocoumarins, ergosterol derivatives, meroditerpenes, pyripyropenes, benzoic acid derivatives, prenylated indole derivatives, tryptoquivalines, fiscalins, phenylalanine-derived alkaloids, and cyclopeptides, have been isolated and investigated for their anticancer and antibacterial activities [ 5 , 6 , 7 ]. Therefore, in our ongoing search for new natural antibiotics from marine-derived fungi, we investigated secondary metabolites from the culture of N. spinosa KUFA 1047, isolated from a marine sponge Mycale sp., which was collected from the Samae San Island in the Gulf of Thailand.…”
