Five new fungal hybrid polyketides, cladosins A-D (1-4), that contain a novel linear 6(3)-enamino-8,10-dihydroxy-tetraketide (1 and 2) or 6-enamino-7(8)-en-10-ol (3 and 4) moiety, as well as the biogenetically related cladosin E (5), were isolated from the deep-sea-derived fungus Cladosporium sphaerospermum 2005-01-E3. Their structures (1-5) were elucidated through a combination of spectroscopic data, chemical conversion, and both Mosher's and Marfey's methods for stereochemical assignment. A plausible biogenetic pathway to 1-5 is proposed. Cladosin C (3) possesses mild anti-influenza A H1N1 virus activity.
