Bioassay-guided fractionation of an organic extract of the culture broth from an unidentified marine-derived fungus led to the isolation of a new metabolite, N-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl) acetyl]formamide (1), along with four known polyketides, 4-hydroxyphenyl acetamide (2), 4-hydroxyphenyl acetic acid (3), 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl acetic acid (4), and N-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethenyl]formamide (5). The structures of 1-5 were elucidated by spectral data analyses. Among them, compounds 1, 4, and 5 exhibited significant radical scavenging activity against 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) with $IC_{50}$ values of 8.4, 11.9, and $0.2{\mu}M$, respectively.
