Two new bisorbicillinoids isolated from a deep-sea fungus, Phialocephala sp. FL30r

J Antibiot (Tokyo). 2007 May;60(5):317-20. doi: 10.1038/ja.2007.40.

Abstract

Two new bisorbicillinoids, named oxosorbiquinol (1) and dihydrooxosorbiquinol (2), were isolated from a deep-sea fungus, Phialocephala sp., and their structures established using spectroscopic methods. The absolute configurations of 1 and 2 were determined by their biosynthesis route and analysis of the CD spectrum. Their cytotoxic effects on P388, A-549, HL60, BEL7402 and K562 cell lines were examined by the MTT method.
