Abstract
A mycoparasite PG52 isolated from aeciospore piles of Aecidium pourthiaea was identified as Pestalotipsis sp. The chemical constituents of Pestalotipsis sp. PG52 were investigated. Four novel polyketides, named pestalpolyols E–H (1–4), were isolated from solid fermentations of Pestalotiopsis sp. PG52. Their structures were elucidated by interpretation of extensive spectroscopic methods, including 1D and 2D NMR, HR-MS experiments; and the absolute configuration of 1 was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis using the anomalous scattering of Cu Kα radiation. Compounds 2–4 showed cytotoxic activities against human tumor cell lines.
