By feeding L-tyrosine into the culture medium, nine undescribed compounds, termed as armochaetoglasins A-I, together with three known analogues, namely armochaetoglobin E, chaetoglobosin V, and chaetoglobosin J, were isolated and identified from the medicinal terrestrial arthropod-derived fungus Chaetomium globosum TW1-1. Their structures were elucidated by means of NMR spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray crystallography, and comparison of their electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. Structurally, armochaetoglasin A represented the first tyrosine-derived cytochalasan alkaloid characterized by a 13-membered carbocyclic ring system; armochaetoglasins B and C possessed a rare 19,20-seco-chaetoglobosin skeleton. Armochaetoglasin B, chaetoglobosin V, and chaetoglobosin J showed weak cytotoxic activity with IC50 values ranging from 19.5 to 34.72 mu M.
