Two unusual dibenzofurans, preussiafurans A-B (1-2), together with six known compounds have been isolated from the fungus Preussia sp. occurring in Enantia chlorantha Oliv. The structures were established on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and MS analysis. Compounds 1-4 showed antiplasmodial activity against erythrocytic stages of chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum (NF54) and moderate cytotoxicity on L6 cell lines with IC50 values of 8.67 and 14.8 μM, respectively.
