Abstract

Eleven undescribed steroids, bipolaristeroids A-K, and one known compound, demethylincisterol A3, were isolated from the fungus Bipolaris maydis. Bipolaristeroid A is a 5,6-seco-9,10-seco-steroid with a rearranged B ring, in which the A and C rings are connected by an ester bond. Bipolaristeroid B is a rearranged 1(10→6)-abeosteroid with an aromatic B ring. Their planar structures and absolute configuration were determined using NMR, HRESIMS, DP4+ analysis, ECD calculation, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Bipolaristeroid A shows excellent inhibitory effects against the cancer cell lines HepG2, A549, SW620, and C4-2B with IC50 values of 7.94, 5.11, 5.13, and 3.83 μM, respectively.
