TL;DR: Eight secondary metabolites, including three new azaphilones (chermesinones A-C, 1-3), three new p-terphenyls (6'-O-desmethylterphenyllin, 4; 3''-deoxy-6'- O-des methylterphenymethylcandidusin B, 7), and two known p-ters were isolated from the culture of the mangrove endophytic fungus Penicillium chermesinum.

TL;DR: Three new dimeric naphtho-γ-pyrones were isolated from the mangrove endophytic fungus Aspergillus tubingensis and their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods, including IR, MS, and 1D and 2D NMR.

TL;DR: Four new dimeric naphtho-γ-pyrones are isolated from the mangrove endophytic fungus Aspergillus tubingensis cultivated in solid rice medium and display inhibitory activities against tumor cell lines of MCF-7, MDA-MB-435, Hep3B, Huh7, SNB19, and U87 MG.

TL;DR: Two new aromatic lactones, 6‐hydroxy‐4‐hydroxymethyl‐8‐methoxy‐3‐ methylisocoumarin and 1,10‐dihydroxy‐ 8‐methyl‐dibenz[b, e]oxepin‐6,11‐dione, together with two known compounds, were isolated from a mangrove endophytic fungus collected from the South China Sea.

TL;DR: The terphenyl compound can be used for preparing the alpha-glucosidase inhibitor and was used for and preventing and controlling type II diabetes as discussed by the authors, which is a type of cancer.
