Abstract: Phaeosphaeria fuckelii, an endophytic fungus associated with the herbal medicine Phlomis umbrosa, produced four new thiodiketopiperazine alkaloids, phaeosphaones A-D (1-4), featuring an unusual β-(oxy)thiotryptophan motif, along with four known analogues, phaeosphaone E (5), chetoseminudin B (6), polanrazine B (7), and leptosin D (8). Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic data analysis, and their absolute configurations were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and ECD calculations. Compounds 4, 6, and 8 were found to display mushroom tyrosinase inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 33.2 ± 0.2, 31.7 ± 0.2, and 28.4 ± 0.2 μM, respectively, more potent than that of the positive control, kojic acid (IC50 = 40.4 ± 0.1 μM). A molecular-docking study disclosed the π-π stacking interaction between the indole moiety of 8 and the His243 residue of tyrosinase.
