Zusammenfassung:Three novel fungal metabolites 1-3 isolated from cultures of a Phoma sp. C2932, are potent and selective inhibitors of squalene synthase. Their structures have been determined by a combination of spectroscopic, X-ray crystallographic and chemical methods; these natural products incorporate the highly functionalised bicyclic core, [1S-(1α, 3α, 4β, 5α, 6α, 7β)]-4, 6, 7-trihydroxy-2, 8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.l]octane-3, 4, 5-tricarboxylic acid.
