Using HPLC/microtiter-plate-based generation of activity profiles the extract of a marine alga-derived fungus, identified as Gliocladium sp., was shown to contain the known strongly cytotoxic metabolite 4-keto-clonostachydiol (1) and also clonostachydiol (2) as well as gliotide (3), a new cyclodepsipeptide containing several D-amino acids. The absolute configuration of 1 was elucidated by reduction to 2, and two further oxidized derivatives of clonostachydiol (5, 6) were prepared and evaluated for biological activity.
