Abstract
Asperfloketals A (1) and B (2), two 1(10 → 6)-abeo-14,15-secosteroids featuring a novel trioxahexaheterocyclic ring system, were isolated from the sponge-associated fungus Aspergillus flocculosus 16D-1. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis and NMR chemical shifts calculations, supported by DP4+ probability analysis, and their absolute configurations were determined by ECD calculations and the modified Mosher's method. Asperfloketals A and B showed strong anti-inflammatory activity in the CuSO4-induced transgenic fluorescent zebrafish but displayed no cytotoxicity against HeLa, HepG2, and SW480 cell lines.
