Four Undescribed Pyranones from the Scutellaria formosana -Derived Endophytic Fungi Ascomycota sp. FAE17

Four undescribed pyranone derivatives, named ascomycopyrones A-D ( - ), as well as one known analogue simplicilopyrone ( ) (this is the first study to report the absolute configuration), were isolated from the endophytic fungus sp. FAE17 derived from the flowers of . The structures of these pyranones were identified by comprehensive spectroscopic and MS analyses, and the absolute configurations were determined by their experimental and quantum chemical electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. All isolated compounds were tested for various bioactivities, including antibacterial, cytotoxic activity, and NO inhibitory activity. Unfortunately, none of the compounds showed significant bioactivities.
