exhibited strong α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC50 values ranging from 2.1 to 13.3 μM. Moreover, kinetic studies of compounds 2 and 6 showed that both of them were noncompetitive inhibitors of α-glucosidase.

aromatic rings (I) and (III) should be linked by ether and an ester bridge, revealing a depsidone skeleton with a seven-membered ring (II). Thus, the structure of 1 was revealed as a new depsidone belonging to the same family compound of the botryorhodines A–D [6], named botryorhodine E.
Botryorhodine F (2
