Xanalterate A, altertoxin VIII and IX, perylenequinone derivatives from antarctica-sponge-derived fungus Alternaria sp. HDN19-690

Abstract

Three new perylenequinone derivatives, namely xanalterate A (1), altertoxin VIII and IX (2 and 3), together with one known analogue, stemphyperylenol (4), were isolated from the extract of the Antarctic sponge-derived fungus Alternaria sp. HDN19-690. The structures of compounds 1–3, including absolute configurations, were confirmed based on the analysis of MS, NMR and ECD data. Compound 1 exhibited promising antimicrobial activity against the tested strains with MIC values ranging from 3.13 to 12.5 µM.
