Secondary Metabolites of the Endophytic Fungus Lachnum abnorme from Ardisia cornudentata.

ABSTRACT: Fractionation of an EtOAc-soluble fraction of the solid fermentate of an endophytic fungus, Lachnum abnorme Mont. BCRC 09F0006, derived from the endemic plant, Ardisia cornudentata Mez. (Myrsinaceae), resulted in the isolation of three new chromones, lachnochromonins D-F (1-3), one novel compound, lachabnormic acid (4), along with nine known compounds (5-13). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses. Alternariol-3,9-dimethyl ether (6) was given the correct data as well as 2D spectral analyses for the first time. This is the first report of the isolation of one unprecedented compound 4 from Lachnum genus, while all known compounds were also found for the first time from Lachnum. The effects of some isolates (3, 4, 7-9, 10, and 13) on the inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) pro
