Marine-derived fungi have been reported to have great potential to produce structurally unique metabolites. Our investigation on secondary metabolites from marine-derived fungi resulted in the isolation of seven new polyketides (phomopsiketones D–G (1–4) and letendronols A–C (5–7)) as well as one known xylarinol (8) in the cultural broth of Letendraea sp. Their structures and absolute configurations were elucidated using a set of spectroscopic and chemical methods, including HRESIMS, NMR, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, ECD calculation, and a modified version of Mosher’s method. Compound 2 showed weak inhibition against nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccaride-activated macrophages with an IC50 value of 86 μM.
