Abstract

There are six new phthalide derivatives Verbalide A ~ F (1–6) together with another known derivative (7) isolated from the endophytic fungus Preussia sp. CPCC 400972. Their structures were established by comprehensive spectroscopic analyses, including NMR and HRESIMS. In addition, compounds 1–7 exhibited excellent inhibitory effect against influenza A virus.
