Two new piericidins A5 (1) and G1 (2), a previously synthesized piericidin G2 (3), and two known piericidins A1 (4) and A2 (5) were isolated from the marine-derived Streptomyces sp. SCSIO 40063. The structures of 1-5 were elucidated by HRESIMS, 1 D, 2 D NMR data analyses and comparisons with the known compounds. Compound 2 showed moderate cytotoxicities against four human tumor cell lines SF-268, MCF-7, HepG2 and A549 with IC50 values between 10.0 and 12.7 μM.
