A New Chlorogentisyl Alcohol Derivative from the Marine-Derived Fungus Epicoccum sorghinum

Chemical investigation of the marine-derived fungusEpicoccum sorghinum GXIMD02001 has led to the isolation of a new compound, 3-chloro-2,5-dihydroxybenzyl acetate (1), together with three known compounds, 3-chlorogentisyl alcohol (2), 2-chloro-6-(methoxymethyl)benzene-1,4-diol (3), and (R)-mevalonolactone (4). Compounds1 –3 exhibited weak antibacterial activity with MIC values of 7.81 –125 μg·mL–1.
