Three novel compounds, including an aromatic amino acid, dimorine A (1), a suncheonoside derivative, dimoroside A (2), and a phenylpropanoid glycoside, dimoroside B (3), together with four known compounds (4-7) were separated from Umbelopsis dimorpha VDG10, the predominant endophytic fungus found in the roots of Vaccinium dunalianum Wight (Ericaceae). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, and the ECD spectrum confirmed the absolute configuration of 3. In addition, the antifungal activities of novel compounds against five phytopathogenic fungi were evaluated.

Article Synopsis
  • - Four isocoumarin derivatives and five phenols were identified from the endophytic fungus VDB39, which was sourced from Wight plant branches.
  • - One of the compounds found is a novel isocoumarin derivative, and their structures were determined using various spectroscopic methods.
  • - The absolute configuration of the new isocoumarin derivative was confirmed through single X-ray crystallography, and the antifungal activity of these derivatives was tested against plant pathogens.
