Asperamides A ( 1 ) and B ( 2 ), a sphingolipid and their corresponding glycosphingolipid possessing a hitherto unreported 9‐methyl‐C 20 ‐sphingosine moiety, were characterized from the culture extract of Aspergillus niger EN‐13, an endophytic fungus isolated from marine brown alga Colpomenia sinuosa . The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic and chemical methods as (2 S ,2′ R ,3 R ,3′ E ,4 E ,8 E )‐ N ‐(2′‐hydroxy‐3′‐hexadecenoyl)‐9‐methyl‐4,8‐icosadien‐1,3‐diol ( 1 ) and 1‐ O ‐β‐ d ‐glucopyranosyl‐( 2S , 2′R , 3R , 3′E , 4E , 8E )‐ N ‐(2′‐hydroxy‐3′‐hexadecenoyl)‐9‐methyl‐4,8‐icosadien‐1,3‐diol ( 2 ). In the antifungal assay, asperamide A ( 1 ) displayed moderate activity against Candida albicans .
