Popis: Spiroscytalin (1), a new tetramic acid that possesses an uncommon spiro-ring fusion between a polyketide-derived octalin ring system and a 2,4-pyrrolidinedione, along with two known compounds, leporin B (2) and purpactin A (3), were isolated from a solid phase culture of the fungus Scytalidium cuboideum (MSX 68345). The molecular connectivity of 1–3 was determined using NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The relative configurations of 1 and 2 were determined by NOESY experiments. The absolute configuration of 1 was determined by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) via a combination of experimental measurements and computational calculations. While leporin B was known, it displayed activities that had not been reported previously, including cytotoxicity against three human tumor cell lines and antibacterial activity against Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus.
