Phomoxanthones A and B, Novel Xanthone Dimers from the Endophytic Fungus <i>Phomopsis</i> Species

Abstract

Phomoxanthones A (1) and B (2), two novel xanthone dimers, were isolated from the endophytic fungus Phomopsis sp. BCC 1323. Structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. These compounds exhibited significant in vitro antimalarial and antitubercular activities and cytotoxicity.
