Seven polyketides, including an undescribed depsidone () and six previously reported 3,6,8-trihydroxy-1-methylxanthone (), 7-hydroxy-2-(2-hydroxypropyl)-5-methylchromone (), methyl3-chloro-6-hydroxy-2-(4-hy-droxy-2-methoxy-6-methylphenoxy)-4- methoxybenzoate (), xylarianin A (), 4,5-dihydroxy-6-(6'-methylsalicyloxy)-2-hydro-xymethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one () and alternariol (), have been isolated from cultures of the mangrove-derived fungus HNNU0006. The structure of compound was elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis and X-ray crystallography. Furthermore, all the compounds were evaluated their cytotoxic activities, and compounds and showed weak cytotoxicity against two cell lines Vero and A549 with IC values ranging from 95.
