Abstract: Chemical investigation of an organic extract of a fungus isolated from submerged wood collected from fresh water (strain G173), identified as a Talaromyces amestolkiae (Eurotiales; Trichocomaceae), led to the isolation of three coumarins, three dihydroisocoumarins, a dibenzo-a-pyrone, a meroterpenoid, and a merodrimane. Three of the isolated compounds, namely 7-chloropestalasin A (3), 4-hydroxyaspergillumarin (6), and ent-thailandolide B (9) were new. The structures were elucidated using a combination of spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques. The absolute configurations of 2, 3, 5, and 6 were established via a modified Mosher’s ester method, whereas for 9 a combination of TDDFT ECD and ORD calculations were employed. Compounds 1–9 were evaluated for antimicrobial activity against a group of bacteria and fungi. [The original abstract for this article contains (characters/images) that cannot be displayed here.
