Analysis of the culture broth extract led to the isolation of a new compound, 4＇-forrnamidophenyl-5-methoxybenzoate （1）, along with seven known polyketides, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid （2）, LL-P880ct （3）, 1＇-hydroxy-4-methoxy-6-pentyl-2H-pyran-2-one （4）, pestalotiollide B （5）, pestalotiopyrone G （6）, endocrocin （7） and 2＇-hydroxy- 6＇-hydroxymethyl-4＇-methylphenyl-2,6-dihydroxy-3-（2-isopentenyl）benzoate （8）. HPLC profiles revealed that all compounds except for 4 belonged to the newly induced secondary metabolites. In addition, all compounds were proved to be devoid of significant antifungal activity in the bioassays.展开更多
