Additionally, six others known metabolites were isolated and characterized: oxysporone, sphaeropsidin A, epi-sphaeropsidone, R-(-)-mellein, (3R,4R)-4-hydroxymellein and (3R,4S)-4-hydroxymellein. The structures of afritoxinones A and B were established by spectroscopic and optical methods and determined to be as (3aS{*},6R{*}-,7aS)-6-methoxy-3a,7a-dihydro-3H,6H-furo\{[\}2,3-b]pyran-2-o ne and (3aR{*},6R{*},7aS)-6-methoxy-3a,7a-dihydro-3H,6H-furo\{[\}2,3-b]pyran-2-on e, respectively. The phytotoxic activity of afritoxinones A and B and oxysporone was evaluated on host (Phoenicean juniper) and non-host plant (holm oak, cork oak and tomato) by cutting and leaf puncture assay. Oxysporone proved to be the most phytotoxic compound. This study represents the first report of secondary metabolites produced by D. africana. In addition, the taxonomic implications of secondary metabolites in Botryosphaeriaceae family studies are discussed. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
