Protuboxepins A and B and Protubonines A and B from the Marine-Derived Fungus <i>Aspergillus</i> sp. SF-5044

Abstract

Two new oxepin-containing (1 and 2) and two diketopiperazine-type alkaloids (3 and 4) have been isolated from an EtOAc extract of the marine-derived fungus Aspergillus sp. SF-5044. The structures of these metabolites were determined through analysis of NMR and MS data, along with Marfey's method. Compound 1 showed weak growth inhibitory activity against a small panel of cell lines.
