Abstract
Five new compounds named asperpenes A-C (1–3), 12,13-dedihydroversiol (4), and methyl 6-oxo-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-4-carboxylate (5), along with 10 known compounds (6–15), were isolated from the fermentation broth of Aspergillus sp. SCS-KFD66 associated with a bivalve mollusk, Sanguinolaria chinensis, collected from Haikou Bay, China. The structures of the compounds, including the absolute configurations of their stereogenic carbons, were unambiguously determined by spectroscopic data, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectral analysis, along with quantum ECD calculations. The growth inhibitory activity of the compounds against four pathogenic bacterial (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 1911, and Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633), their enzyme inhibitory activities against acetylcholinesterase and α-glucosidase, and their DPPH radical scavenging activity were evaluated.
Highlights
In the past few decades, natural products have occupied a very important position in modern drug research and development, providing more efficient means for human health care, nutrition, medical care, and other aspects [1]

The strain SCS-KFD66 was isolated from a bivalve mollusk, Sanguinolaria chinensis, collected from Haikou Bay, Hainan province, in China
Summary
In the past few decades, natural products have occupied a very important position in modern drug research and development, providing more efficient means for human health care, nutrition, medical care, and other aspects [1]. From 1940 to 2014, 175 new anticancer drugs were approved worldwide, 75% of which came from natural products or their derivatives [2]. Because of the special environmental conditions, marine fungi have been proven to be a rich source of various types of compounds with complex structures and remarkable activities, thereby attracting the attention of for which many natural product chemists turned their attention to them [3,4]. Our previous research on secondary metabolites from marine animal-derived fungi have led to the isolation and identification of a series of structurally new and biologically active natural products, including new quorum-sensing inhibitors from Penicillium sp. SCS-KFD09, and helvolic acid derivatives with potent antibacterial activity from Aspergillus fumigatus HNMF0047 [5,6,7,8,9]. The structure and bioactivities of these compounds are reported
