Ten new diphenyl ether polyketides, including rhexocerins A-D ( 1 - 4 ) and rhexocercosporins A-F ( 5 - 10 ), together with three known congeners ( 11 - 13 ), were isolated from the endophytic fungus Rhexocercosporidium sp. Dzf14 obtained from Dioscorea zingiberensis . Their structures were elucidated by analysis of NMR and HRESIMS data, and their absolute configurations were determined by quantum chemical ECD calculations and X-ray crystallography. Compounds 1 - 4 featured an unprecedented tetracyclic carbon skeleton (6/7/5/6). Among them, compounds 1 and 5 - 9 showed antibacterial activities against methicillin-resistant S. aureus T144 and vancomycin-resistant E. faecalis 10.
