A pair of new enantiomeric polyketides, (-)- and (+)-nigrosporaol A (1a and 1b), along with one related known compound, (+)-alternarienoic acid (2), were isolated from three endolichenic fungal strains, Nigrospora sphaerica (No.83-1-1-2), Alternaria alternata (No.58-8-4-1), and Phialophora sp.(No.96-1-8-1). Their structures, including the absolute configurations, were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic methods, X-ray diffraction analysis, and the modified Mosher's method.

Daldipyrenones A-C (-), three unprecedented caged xanthone [6,6,6,6,6] polyketides featuring a spiro-azaphilone unit, were discovered from an endolichenic fungus, 047188. The structures of - were determined by using spectroscopic analysis and chemical derivatization. Daldipyrenones are likely derived by combining a chromane biosynthesis intermediate, 1-(2,6-dihydroxyphenyl)but-2-en-2-one, and a spiro-azaphilone, pestafolide A, via radical coupling or Michael addition to form a bicyclo[2.

Three isocoumarins, including two new compounds, (±) pestalactone D (1) and pestapyrone F (2), as well as one known compound, pestapyrone D (3), were isolated from the culture of the endolichenic Pestalotiopsis rhododendri LF-19-12. The planar structures of all compounds were elucidated by NMR and MS spectra. And the absolute configurations of 1 were confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, indicative of it as a racemate of 4S/12S and 4R/12R enantiomers.

The influence of light regulation on the growth and enzyme production of three endolichenic fungal isolates, i.e. Pseudopestalotiopsis theae (EF13), Fusarium solani (EF5), and Xylaria venustula (PH22), was determined.

Adiponectin-synthesis-promoting compounds possess therapeutic potential to treat diverse metabolic diseases, including obesity and diabetes. Phenotypic screening to find adiponectin-synthesis-promoting compounds was performed using the adipogenesis model of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. The extract of the endolichenic fungus 047215 significantly promoted adiponectin production.
