Description
Summary:<b>Background<b>:</b></b> Ten new sesquiterpenes, including eight eremophilane-type sesquiterpenes (<b>1</b>–<b>8</b>) and two compounds (<b>9</b>–<b>10</b>) with a cyclopentane ring, representing an undescribed subtype of sesquiterpene, along with a new abietane-type diterpenoid (<b>11</b>), were isolated and identified from a deep-sea-derived fungus: <i>Eutypella</i> sp. <b>Methods:</b> Their structures were elucidated on the basis of various spectroscopic analyses, mainly including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESIMS) data, <sup>13</sup>C NMR calculations with DP4+ probability analyses, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments. <b>Results:</b> Furthermore, compound <b>11</b> exhibited potent immunosuppressive activity with IC<sub>50</sub> values of 8.99 ± 1.08 μM in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) model and 5.39 ± 0.20 μM in a concanavalin A (ConA) model.
