Abstract
Investigation of secondary metabolites from the mangrove endophytic fungus Talaromyces sp. SAF14 led to the isolation of two new polyketides, methyl (R)-3-(6,8-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-1-oxoisochroman-3-yl)propanoate (1), (R)-3-(5,8- dihydroxy-1-oxoisochroman-3-yl)propanoic acid (2), together with four known alkaloids (3–6). The planar structures of new compounds were elucidated by comprehensive analysis of HR-ESI-MS and NMR data. The absolute configurations were determined by comparison of the calculated ECD spectrum with the measured one. All the isolated compounds were tested for cytotoxic activities against three human cancer cell lines. The known beauvericin (3) exhibited strong cytotoxic activity against A549, MCF-7, and KB cell lines with IC50 values of 5.36 ± 2.49, 1.96 ± 1.09 and 4.46 ± 0.68 μM, respectively.
