Abstract: Metabolites of endophytic fungus 3893^# were studied in this paper, which was isolated from mangrove at estuarine in Hongkong. Nine compounds (AI) were isolated from the fermentation liquid and the mycelium of this strain. Their structures were elucidated by spectral techniques or by comparison with authentic samples to be succinic acid(A), uracil(B), 5-methylmellein(C), cerebroside(D), glycerol monopalmitate(E), ergosterol(F), 3 β-hydroxy-5α,8α-epidioxyergosta-6,22-diene(G), cerevisterol(H) and mannitol(I), respectively. Compounds C and D were first isolated from endophytic fungus in mangrove.

Key words: mangrove, endophytic fungus, metabolite
