The bioactive compounds of the fungus Aspergillus aculeatus strain KKU-CT2, have been studied. The crude extracts from this fungus showed good antimicrobial activity against human pathogens, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and yeast-like fungi. Its chemical components were isolated and purified by chromatographic methods. The structures of the secondary metabolites were elucidated by spectroscopic methods (IR, H-1, and C-13 NMR). They were identified as ergosterol peroxide (1), secalonic acid D (2), secalonic acid F (3), variecolin (4), variecolactone (5), and ergosterol (6). Compounds 1 and 4-6 are reported for the first time as fungal metabolites from this species. Compound 1 displayed inhibitory effects on HSV-1 with an IC50 of 11.01 mu g/ml. Compounds 3, 4, and 6 exhibited antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum with IC50 of 1.03, 1.47, and 5.31 A mu g/ml, respectively. Additionally, all compounds from A. aculeatus KKU-CT2 showed unprecedented anticancer activities against human epidermoid carcinoma in the mouth (KB) (compounds 1-6), human breast cancer (MCF-7) (compounds 2, 4, and 5), and human lung cancer cells (NCI-H187) (compounds 1-4 and 6). These results suggest that secondary metabolites from A. aculeatus KKU-CT2 might be interesting for further derivatization, targeting diseases such as cancer.
