EXPERIMENTAL SECTION General Experimental Procedures. The optical rotations were measured on a JASCO P-2000 polarimeter using a 1 cm cell. The UV spectra were acquired with a Hitachi U-3010 spectrophotometer. The CD spectra were recorded using an Applied Photophysic Chirasscan-plus circular dichroism detector. The IR spectra were recorded on a JASCO 4200 FT-IR spectrometer, using a ZnSe cell. The NMR spectra were recorded on Bruker Avance 500 and 600 MHz spectrometer at the NCIRF (National Center for Interuniversity Research Facilities at Seoul National University), and on Bruker Avance II 800 MHz and 900 MHz at the KBSI (Korea Basic Science Institute) at Ochang, Korea. HRFABMS data were acquired using a Jeol JMS 700 mass spectrometer with metanitrobenzyl alcohol (NBA) as the matrix at the KBSI (Korea Basic Science Institute) at Daegu, Korea. The HPLC analyses were performed on a Spectrasystem p2000 equipped with a refractive index detector (Spectrasystem RI-150). All of the solvents used were spectroscopic grade or distilled from glass prior to use. Isolation and Identification of the Fungal Strain. The fungal strain Aspergillus sp. (strain number F452) was isolated from submerged decaying wood off of the shore of Jeju Island, Korea, in November 2011. The strain was identified using standard molecular biological protocols by DNA amplification and sequencing of the ITS region. The genomic DNA extraction was performed using Intron s i-genomic BYF DNA Extraction Mini Kit according to the manufacturer s protocol. The nucleotide sequence of F452 has been deposited in the GenBank database under the accession number KF384188. The 18S rdna sequence of this strain showed a 99% identity with Aspergillus versicolor Ppf48 (GenBank accession number GU586852). Fermentation and Isolation. The isolated strain was cultivated on a YPG agar plate (5 g yeast extract, 5 g peptone, 10 g glucose, and 16.0 g agar in 1 L artificial seawater) for 4 days. The agar plugs (1 cm 1 cm, 5 pieces each) were inoculated into 100 ml of the YPG media in a 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask for 5 days, then separately transferred to 2.8 L glass Fernbach flasks with rice media (2 g peptone, 2 g yeast extract, 200 g rice with 200 ml artificial seawater in each flask, boiled in an autoclave for 20 min at 120 C; 24 flasks in total). The fermentation in the rice media was conducted under static conditions for 6 weeks and then was extracted by MeOH (1 L 3) and CH 2Cl 2 (1 L 3). The solvent was evaporated to obtain an organic extract. The combined extracts (62.6 g) were successively partitioned between n-buoh (42.5 g) and H 2O (16.8 g); the former fraction was repartitioned using H 2O-MeOH (15:85) (20.3 g) and n- hexane (19.2 g). The H 2O-MeOH fraction was separated by C 18 reversed-phase vacuum flash chromatography using a sequential mixture of MeCN and H 2O as eluents (five fractions in gradient, 5

H 2O-MeCN, from 80:20 to 0:100), MeOH, acetone, and finally EtOAc. On the basis of the results of LC-MS analysis, the fractions eluted with H 2O-MeCN (40:60) (6.3 g) was separated by C 18 reversedphase vacuum flash chromatography again using a sequential mixture of MeCN and H 2O as eluents (six fractions in gradient, H 2O-MeCN, from 50:50 to 0:100), and 100% MeOH. The fraction eluted with H 2O-MeCN (40:60) (2.1 g) was separated by semi-preparative reversed-phase HPLC (YMC- ODS column, 10.0 250 mm; H 2O-MeOH, 30:70, 2.0 ml/min) to afford compounds 1 (t R 50.2 min, 43.2 mg) and 2 (t R 58.5 min, 46.7 mg). Asperphenin A (1): yellow amorphous solid, [ ] 25 D -24.7 (c 0.1, MeOH); UV (MeOH) max (log ) 211 (4.65), 268 (4.25), 322 (3.95) nm; CD (MeOH) λ ( ε) 217 (+2.26), 235 (-1.79), 331 (-0.30) nm; IR (ZnSe) max 3309, 1750, 1671 cm -1 ; 1 H and 13 C NMR data, see Table S1; HRFABMS, m/z 812.4430 [M+H] + (Calcd for C 42H 62N 5O 11, 812.4440).

Cyclization of Compounds 1 and 2. To a solution of K 2CO 3 (4.3 mg) in DMF (3 ml) was added asperphenin A (1, 21.2 mg, 26 M) and stirred at room temperature for 7 h. The solution was extracted with EtOAc, evaporated under vacuum and the residue was purified by reverse-phase HPLC (YMC-ODS column, 4.6 250 mm; H 2O-MeCN, 50:50, 1.0 ml/min) to afford cycloasperphenin A (3, t R 17.5 min, 4.2 mg, 5.2 M). Cycloasperphenin B (4, t R 19.5 min, 4.3 mg, 5.4 M) was prepared in the same manner from asperphenin B (2, 22.8 mg, 28 M).

MTPA-Esterifications of Compounds 3 and 4. To a solution of cycloasperphenin A (3, 2.6 mg) in dry pyridine (0.5 ml) in ice cooling water bath was added acetic anhydride (3 µl). After stirring at room temperature for 2 h, the reaction was quenched by adding ice water, evaporated under vacuum, 7

and the residue was divided into two (1.3 mg each). To a solution of the residue in dry pyridine (1.0 ml), were added DMAP (0.5 mg) and (-)-(R)-MTPA chloride (10 μl). The mixture was stirred under N 2 at room temperature for 2 h.

Advanced Marfey s Analysis of Compounds 1 and 2. Asperphenin A (1, 1.0 mg) was dissolved in 6 N HCl (0.5 ml) and heated at 110 o C for 12 h. The solution was evaporated with distilled water three times to remove the trace of HCl under vacuum. The divided hydrolysate (0.5 mg) was treated with 1 N NaHCO 3 (100 μl) followed by 1% L- or D- FDAA (50 μl) in acetone. The mixture was stirred at 80 o C for 5 min. After the reaction was quenched by the addition of 2 N HCl (50 μl), the mixture was analyzed by ESI-LC/MS to assign the chirality of the amino acids. The retention times of the L- and D-FDAA-derivatized hydrolysates were 10.7 and 11.4 min for L- and D-aspartic acid, respectively; and the retention times of the L- and D-FDAA-derivatized hydrolysates were 11.9 and 12.9 min for L- and D-glutamic acid, respectively. Compound 2 was prepared and analyzed using the same procedure. The results demonstrated that all the amino acids in compounds 1 and 2 were L-form 9

(Figure S3). Reduction of 7-ketone of Compounds 1 and 2. To a solution of compound 1 (22.1 mg) in MeOH (2 ml) at 0 o C was added NaBH 4 (1.2 mg).

Computational Analysis. The ground-state geometries were optimized with density functional theory (DFT) calculations using Turbomole 6.5 with the basis set def-sv(p) for all atoms at the DFT level, using the B3LYP functional; the ground states were further confirmed by a harmonic frequency calculation. The calculated ECD data corresponding to the optimized structures were obtained using TDDFT with the basis set def2-tzvpp for all atoms at the DFT level, using the B3LYP functional. The ECD spectra were simulated by overlapping for each traction, where σ is the width of the band at 1/e height. Ei and Ri are the excitation energies and rotatory strengths for transition i, respectively. In the current work, the value of σ was fixed at 0.10 ev. 14
