Cytoskyrin C (1), a new bisanthraquinone with asymmetrically cytoskyrin type skeleton, together with a known symmetrical analogue (+)-epicytoskyrin (2), were isolated from an endophytic fungus ARL-09 (Diaporthe sp.). Cytoskyrin C (1) featured an asymmetrically cage-like structural motif arising from the dimerization of anthraquinone monomers by three carbon‑carbon bonds 9a/3', 3/9a' and 1/1'. The structure and absolute configuration of compound 1 were determined by spectroscopic analyses, ECD calculation and exciton chirality methods. Moreover, a plausible biogenetic pathway of 1-2 was predicted. Their cytotoxicities against SMMC-7721 cell as well as effects on NF-κB signaling pathway were evaluated. 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
