Abstract
A new α,β-unsaturated 7-ketone sterol, 5β,6β-epoxy-3β, 15α-dihydroxy-(22E,24R)-ergosta-8(14),22-dien-7-one (1), along with five known sterone derivatives, 5β,6β-epoxy-3β,7α-dihydroxy-(22E,24R)-ergosta-8(14),22-dien-15-one (2), 5β,6β-epoxy-3β,7α,9α-trihydroxy-(22E,24R)-ergosta-8(14),22-dien-15-one (3), 3β,9α,15α-trihydroxy-(22E,24R)-10(5→4)-abeo-ergosta-6,8(14),22-trien-5-one (4), 3,15-dihydroxyl-(22E,24R)-ergosta-5,8(14),22-trien-7-one (5) and (22E,24R)-ergosta-4,6,8(14),22-tetraen-3,15-dione (6) were isolated from the mangrove-derived fungus Phomopsis sp. MGF222. Their structures were established on the basis of extensive spectroscopic data and comparison with the data of literature. Compound 2 showed weak antibacterial activity against Micrococcus tenuis with the MIC value of 28.2 (±0.52) μM. Compound 5 exhibited moderate antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with the MIC value of 14.6 (±0.47) μM.
