Isolation and structures of antibacterial binaphtho-alpha-pyrones, talaroderxines A and B, from Talaromyces derxii

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 1992 May;40(5):1116-9. doi: 10.1248/cpb.40.1116.

Abstract

New compounds designated talaroderxines A (1) and B (2) were isolated from a new heterothallic ascomycetous fungus, Talaromyces derxii, cultivated on rice. The structures of 1a and 1b were elucidated by means of spectroscopic examination and chemical reactions. Talaroderxines A (1a) and B (1b) are atropisomers of a 6,6'-binaphtho-alpha-pyrone derivative, and have strong antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis.
