Abstract
A new xanthone named sydoxanthone C (1) and a new alkaloid named acremolin B (2), together with 10 known compounds (3–12) were isolated from a deep-sea-derived fungus Aspergillus sp. SCSIO Ind09F01. The structures of compounds (1–12) were determined by the extensive 1D, 2D-NMR, High resolution mass spectra (HRESIMS) data. Compounds 7, 8, 11 and 12 showed significant selective cytotoxicities against HeLa, DU145 and U937 cell lines. In addition, compounds 7, 8 and 11 also exhibited COX-2 inhibitory activities with the prominent IC50 values of 2.4, 7.1 and 10.6 μM, respectively.
