Abstract
Two new meroterpenoids, terretonins E and F (1, 2), together with three known compounds, aurantiamine (3), linoleic acid, and uridine, were isolated as fermentation products of the marine-derived fungus Aspergillus insuetus, which was associated with the sponge Petrosia ficiformis. Structures of all isolates were elucidated employing spectroscopic methods, mainly by two-dimensional NMR techniques. Compounds 1-3 showed activity as inhibitors of the mammalian mitochondrial respiratory chain.
