Bioactive isocoumarins and related metabolites from conifer endophytes

J Nat Prod. 1995 Nov;58(11):1759-66. doi: 10.1021/np50125a021.

Abstract

Six new [1-4, 7, 9] and two known [6 and 8] metabolites have been isolated from culture filtrates of conifer endophyte strains of Canoplea elegantula. Their structures have been determined by spectroscopic means. Compound 1 was toxic to spruce budworm cells, and both 1 and 3 were toxic to spruce budworm larvae.
