Spectasterols F-O (1-10), ten interesting ergosterols with an aromatized B ring, were obtained from Aspergillus spectabilis. Their structures and absolute configurations were determined using a combination of high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Structurally, these aromatic ergosterols feature versatile side chains. Notably, compound aromatic ergosterols featured versatile side chains, and compound 4 is an unusual C23 ergosterol characterized by a shorter side chain due to oxidative cleavage between C-23 and C-24. All compounds were evaluated for their neuroprotective activities, with compound 8 showing a dose-dependent ability to reduce apoptosis and protect mitochondrial function in glutamate-induced SH-SY5Y cells.

Ten ergostane-type steroids, including seven undescribed ones named spectasteroids A-G, were obtained from Aspergillus spectabilis. Their structures and absolute configurations were determined based on HRESIMS, NMR, ECD calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Structurally, spectasteroid A was a unique example of aromatic ergostane-type steroid that featured a rare peroxide ring moiety; spectasteroid B contained a rare oxetane ring system formed between C-9 and C-14; and spectasteroid C was an unusual 3,4-seco-ergostane steroid with an extra lactone ring between C-3 and C-9.

Ten sesterterpenoids, including eight undescribed ones named spectanoids A-H and two known analogs, were obtained from Aspergillus spectabilis. Their structures, including absolute configurations, were determined based on HRESIMS, NMR, ECD calculations and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Spectanoids A-G are tricyclic sesterterpenoids with an unusual 5/12/5 ring system, while spectanoid H possesses a 5/8/6/5 ring system.
