Abstract: Fourteen new resorcylic acid lactones (1–14) were isolated from an organic extract of a culture of a freshwater aquatic fungus Halenospora sp. originating from a stream in North Carolina. The structures were elucidated using a set of spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques. The absolute configuration of one representative member of the compounds (7) was assigned using X-ray crystallography of an analogue that incorporated a heavy atom, whereas for compounds 8–11, a modified Mosher’s ester method was utilized. The relative configurations of compounds 12–14 were determined on the basis of NOE data. Compounds 12–14 were proposed as artifacts produced by intramolecular cycloetherification of the e-hydroxy-a,ß-unsaturated ketone moieties of the parent compounds during the purification processes. The isolated compounds, except for 8 and 12, were tested against the MDA-MB-435 (melanoma) and HT-29 (colon) cancer cell lines. Compound 5 was the most potent, with IC50 values of 2.9 and 7.5 µM, respectively. The compounds were evaluated as TAK1–TAB1 inhibitors but were found to be inactive.
