Six new compounds, named conoideoglucosides A-C and conoideochromanes A-C, together with eight known compounds, including eutypinic acid, 2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-chromene-6-carboxylic acid, (-)-luteoskyrin, (-)-4a-oxyluteoskyrin, chrysophanol, islandicin, catenarin, and (22E)-5α,8α-epidioxyergosta-6,22-dien-3β-ol were isolated from the insect fungus Conoideocrella krungchingensis BCC53666. (-)-Luteoskyrin exhibited a broad range of antimicrobial activity such as antimalarial (IC50 0.51 μg/mL), antitubercular (MIC 6.25 μg/mL), antibacterial (both Gram positive; MIC 0.39-1.56 μg/mL and Gram negative; MIC 3.13-12.50 μg/mL), and antifungal (against various plant pathogens; MIC 3.13-50.00 μg/mL) activities, while (-)-4a-oxyluteoskyrin and catenarin showed weaker antibacterial activity. Moreover, eutypinic acid, (-)-luteoskyrin, (-)-4a-oxyluteoskyrin, and catenarin showed cytotoxicity against NCI-H187 cells with IC50 in a range of 0.16-17.99 μg/mL, while eutypinic acid and catenarin had no cytotoxicity against non-cancerous (Vero) cells at maximum tested concentration (50 mg/mL). The complete NMR spectral data and biological activity of the known (-)-4a-oxyluteoskyrin was also reported for the first time.
