Three new cytosporone derivatives dothiorelones K-M (1, 2 and 7), together with six known ones (3-6, 8 and 9) were isolated from the mangrove-derived fungus Dothiorella sp. ML002. Their structures were determined by comprehensive 1D, 2D NMR spectroscopic and HR-ESI-MS spectroscopic data. Compounds 1, 2 and 5 displayed inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase with the IC50 values of 22.0, 77.9 and 5.4 μg/mL, respectively. Additionally, compounds 1, 2, and 5 also exhibited antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) with the same MIC values of 50 μg/mL, respectively. The results indicated that cytosporone derivatives will be useful to as diabetes control agents.
