Abstract

Secalonic acid D (SAD) was isolated as the major secondary metabolite of the marine lichenderived fungusGliocladium sp. T31. Its structure was established on the basic of physicochemical and spectroscopic data. This is the first report on the isolation of SAD from this fungus, as well as its inhibitory effect on K562 cell cycle and its cytotoxicity against several tumor cell linesin vitro.
