A new pyrrolidine derivative, 3-hydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)-4-(4′-hydroxyphenoxy)pyrrolidin-2-one (1), and eight known steroids, (22 E,24 R)-7β,8β-epoxy-3β,5α,9α-trihydroxyergosta-22-en-6-one (2, a reassigned structure of (22 E,24 R)-5α,6α-epoxy-3β,8β,14α-trihydroxyergosta-22-en-7-one), (22 E,24 R)-3β,5α,9α-trihydroxyergosta-7,22-dien-6-one (3), (22 E,24 R)-3β,5α-dihydroxyergosta-7,22-dien-6-one (4), (22 E,24 R)-ergosta-7,22-dien-3β,5α,6β-triol (5), (22 E,24 R)-ergosta-5,22-dien-3β-ol (6), (22 E,24 R)-5α,8α-epidioxyergosta-6,22-dien-3β-ol (7), (22 E,24 R)-5α,8α-epidioxyergosta-6,9(11),22-trien-3β-ol (8), and (22 E,24 R)-1(10→6)- abeo-ergosta-5,7,9,22-tetraen-3α-ol (9), were isolated from the cultures of Gibberella zeae, an endophytic fungus isolated from the marine green alga Codium fragile. Their structures and relative stereochemistry were elucidated by 1D, 2D NMR and mass spectroscopic techniques. Compound 1 showed cytotoxicity against A-549 and BEL-7402 cell lines.
