Abstract
Ergopolyketides A–D, presumably biosynthesized through Diels–Alder additions between ergosterol and polyketides, along with two new andrastin-type meroterpenoids, isopenicins D and E, were isolated from the co-culture of endophytic fungi Penicillium sp. sh18 and Pestalotiopsis sp. HS30, both, inhabiting Isodon species. The structures of these compounds were elucidated using spectroscopic analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and quantum chemical calculations. Isopenicin D and a known compound, peniandrastin D, exhibited moderate cytotoxic activities against human cancer cell lines HL-60, A549, and SMMC-7721, with IC50 values ranging from 13.37 to 29.17 μM.
