Identification of a Unique Azaphilone Produced by Chaetomium globosum Isolated from Polygonatum sibiricum

A new azaphilone, chaephilone E, eight azaphilone derivatives, and three chaetoglobosins were isolated from endophytic fungi Chaetomium globosum . The structures of the compounds were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR as well as HR‐ESI‐MS data, and the absolute configuration of chaephilone E was established on the basis of electronic circular dichroism and NOESY spectrum. The activity of chaephilone E was evaluated via the cytotoxic assay (human...
