Polyenylpyrroles and polyenylfurans from an Australian Isolate of the soil ascomycete Gymnoascus reessii

Org Lett. 2006 Feb 16;8(4):701-4. doi: 10.1021/ol052880y.

Abstract

[structure: see text] An Australian isolate of the soil ascomycete Gymnoascus reessii yielded a series of cytotoxic metabolites, including the known polyenylpyrroles rumbrin (1) and auxarconjugatin A (2), and the new rumbrin stereoisomer 12E-isorumbrin (3), as well as an unprecedented class of polyenylfurans exemplified by gymnoconjugatins A (4) and B (5). Structures were assigned with detailed spectroscopic analysis.
