Two phenylspirodrimanes, never isolated before, stachybotrin J (1) and new stachybocin G (epi-stachybocin A) (2), along with the already reported stachybotrin I (3), stachybotrin H (4), stachybotrylactam (5), stachybotrylactam acetate (6), 2α-acetoxystachybotrylactam acetate (7), stachybotramide (8), chartarlactam B (9), and F1839-J (10) were isolated from the sponge-associated fungus Stachybotrys chartarum MUT 3308. Their structures were established based on extensive spectrometric (HRMS) and spectroscopic (1D and 2D NMR) analyses. Absolute configurations of the stereogenic centers of stachybotrin J (1), stachybocin G (2), and stachybotrin I (3), were determined by comparison of their experimental circular dichroism (CD) spectra with their time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. The putative structures of seventeen additional phenylspirodrimanes were proposed by analysis of their respective MS/MS spectra through a Feature-Based Molecular Networking approach. All the isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against five aggressive cancer cell lines (MP41, 786, 786R, CAL33, and CAL33RR), notably including two resistant human cancer cell lines (786R, CAL33RR), and compounds 5, 6, and 7 exhibited cytotoxicity with IC50 values in the range of 0.3−2.2 µM.
