Abstract

The cultivation of the mangrove-derived fungus Rhytidhysteron rufulum AS21B in acidic condition changed its secondary metabolite profile. Investigation of the culture broth extract led to the isolation and identification of two new spirobisnaphthalenes (1 and 2) together with eleven known compounds (3-13) from the crude extract of the fungus grown under an acidic condition as well as six known compounds (4, 10, 14-17) were isolated from the crude extract of the fungus grown under a neutral condition. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic data. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against two human Cancer cell lines, Ramos lymphoma and drug resistant NSCLC H1975. Compounds 2 and 10 displayed the most promising anti-tumor activity against both Cancer cell lines.
