Chemical Constituents and Bioactivities of the Plant-Derived Fungus Aspergillus fumigatus .

A new bergamotane sesquiterpenoid, named xylariterpenoid H ( 1 ), along with fourteen known compounds ( 2 - 15 ), were isolated from the crude extract of Aspergillus fumigatus , an endophytic fungus isolated from Delphinium grandiflorum L. Their structures were elucidated mainly by extensive analyses of NMR and MS spectroscopic data. In addition, the screening results of antibacterial and cytotoxic activities of compounds 1 - 15 showed that compound 4 displayed antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA (methicillin-resistant S. aureus ) with an MIC value of 3.12 µg/mL.
