Four new cytochalasans, marchaetoglobins A-D (), along with five known compounds (), were isolated from the marine-sponge-associated fungus 162105. Compounds represent examples of 19,20--chaetoglobosins, of which compound is the first furan-containing cytochalasan. Their structures and absolute configurations were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses and electronic circular dichroism calculations.

The complete structures of two new compounds were determined based on 1D/2D NMR and HR-MS spectroscopic analyses coupled with ECD calculations. All eight isolates were evaluated for their antibacterial activity.

The new structures were elucidated as (3S,14R)-3,14-dihydroxycholesta-5,8-dien-7-one (1), (22E,24R)-7α-ethoxy-5α,6α-epoxyergosta-8(14),22-dien-3β-ol (2), 3β-hydroxy-7α-ethoxy-5α,6α-epoxy-8(14)-cholestene (3), 3β,5α-dihydroxy-6α-ethoxychofesta-7,9(11)-diene (4), 3β,5α-dihydroxy-6β-ethoxycholest-7-ene (5), (22E,24R)-24-ethoxy-3β,5α-dihydroxy-6β-ethoxyergosta-7,22-diene (6), (22E)-3β,5α-dihydroxy-6β-ethoxycholesta-7,22-diene (7), 24-ethoxy-3β,5α-dihydroxy-6β-ethoxycholest-7-ene (8 and 9), by extensive spectroscopic analyses, such as HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR data. The absolute configuration of 1 was assigned by comparison the experimental ECD spectra with the calculated ones.
