A new antibacterial dioxopiperazine, dehydroxybisdethiobis(methylthio)gliotoxin (1), and the previously described bisdethiobis(methylthio)gliotoxin (2) and gliotoxin (3), have been isolated from the broth of a marine-derived fungus of the genus Pseudallescheria. The structure and absolute stereochemistry of the new compound was assigned on the basis of NMR and CD experiments. Compounds 1 similar to 3 exhibit potent antibacterial activity against the methicillin-resistant and multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with MIC values of 31.2, 31.2, and 1.0 mu g/ml, respectively. Compound 3 also exhibited a significant radical scavenging activity against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) with IC50 value of 5.2 mu M.
