Abstract

The mangrove-derived endophytic fungus Peniophora incarnata Z4 produced seven new xanthone derivatives, including four new tetrahydroxanthones (1-4), one new chromone (5), one new xanthone (6), and one new xanthone dimer (7), together with one known compound, globosuxanthone B (8). Their structures were determined by an extensive analysis of 1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS, ECD, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. In cytotoxic activity assays, compound 2 showed cytotoxicity against three carcinoma cell lines with IC50 values less than 10 μM.
