New decalin derivatives, eujavanoic acids A and B, from Eupenicillium javanicum

J Nat Prod. 2004 Sep;67(9):1580-3. doi: 10.1021/np040052s.

Abstract

Two new decalin derivatives, eujavanoic acids A (1) and B (2), were isolated from Eupenicillium javanicum, along with several compactin derivatives. The structures of 1 and 2 were determined by spectroscopic methods and modified Mosher's method. The side chain (2-methylbutanoyloxy) and acid functionalities of compactin derivatives were necessary to show the antifungal activity.
