2-Pyrones from endophytic fungus Diaporthe foeniculina BZM-15

Foeniculins A-C (1-3) together with a pair of enantiomers (±)-foeniculin D (4) were isolated from endophytic fungus Diaporthe foeniculina BZM-15. Their structures including absolute configurations were unambiguously established by extensive interpretation of the NMR and HR-ESI-MS data, ECD measurements powered by molecular calculations, as well as Mo2(OAc)4 mediated CD methodology. The cytotoxic activity assay disclosed that these compounds didn't show any noticeable cytotoxic activity.[Formula: see text].
