Abstract

Nine new mycotoxins; five xanthones 1-5, hydroxanthone 6, and three anthraquinones 7-9, together with nine known compounds; sterigmatocystin (10), demethylsterigmatocystin (11), dihydrodemethylsterigmatocystin (12), sterigmatin (13), austocystin F (14), averufin (15), aflatoxin B1, paeciloquinone A, and zeorin, were isolated from the scale insect fungus Aschersonia coffeae Henn. BCC 28712. The structures of these compounds were elucidated using NMR spectroscopic and MS spectrometric analyses. Compounds 1-3 and 6-9 displayed cytotoxic activity while the xanthone 2 and anthraquinones 8 and 9 also showed antimalarial activity.
