Two undescribed frenolicins H and I ( and ) along with six previously described frenolicin analogues [frenolicins A (), B (), UCF76-B (), E - G ( - )] and two anthraquinones [3,8-dihydroxy-1-propylanthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid () and 3,8-dihydroxy-1-propylanthraquinone ()] were isolated from a longkong bark eating caterpillar-derived sp. TBRC17107. The chemical structures were determined by NMR spectroscopic information and HRESIMS data.

The compound structures were established by spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and electronic circular dichroism. Compound 4 exhibited antiproliferative activity against all cell lines tested (mammalian), with 50% inhibition concentration (IC) values ranging from 2.

The structures and the absolute configurations of the new compounds were established by spectroscopic analyses, the application of modified Mosher's method (for ), ECD calculation (for ), and X-ray crystallographic analysis (for ). LL-Z1640-5 and mucorisocoumarin C were active against (MIC 41.

The structure of menisposopsin B was addressed primarily by spectroscopic analyses, and the stereochemistry was established by chemical correlation. Menisporopsin B exhibited antimalarial activity with an IC(50) value of 1.
