A strain of the pathogenic fungus Ascochyta lentis isolated from lentil ( Lens culinaris) was studied to ascertain its capability to produce bioactive metabolites. From the culture filtrates were found three new anthraquinone derivatives, named lentiquinones A (1), B (2), and C (3), and the known lentisone. From the mycelium, four known analogues were identified, namely pachybasin (in larger amount), ω-hydroxypachybasin, 1,7-dihydroxy-3-methylanthracene-9,10-dione, and phomarin. Lentiquinones A-C were characterized by spectroscopic methods as 3,4,6-trihydroxy-8-methyl-2 H-benzo[ g]chromene-5,10-dione, 2,3,4,5,10-pentahydroxy-7-methyl-3,4,4a,10-tetrahydroanthracen-9(2 H)-one, and its 2-epimer, respectively, and the relative configuration of the two latter compounds was deduced by X-ray diffraction data analysis. The absolute configuration of lentiquinones B and C was determined as (2 R,3 S,4 S,4a S,10 R) and (2 S,3 S,4 S,4a S,10 R), respectively, by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) in solution and solid state, and TDDFT calculations. When tested by using different bioassays, the novel compounds showed interesting activities. In particular, applied to punctured leaves of host and nonhost plants, the three new compounds and lentisone caused severe necrosis, with lentiquinone A being the most active among the new metabolites. On cress ( Lepidium sativum), this latter compound proved to be particularly active in inhibiting root elongation. On Lemna minor all the compounds reduced the content of chlorophyll, with 1,7-dihyroxy-3-methylanthracene-9,10-dione being the most active. The new compounds, together with lentisone, proved to have antibiotic properties.
