A novel butenoate derivative from Aspergillus niger

Nat Prod Res. 2006 May 20;20(6):573-7. doi: 10.1080/14786410500184157.

Abstract

A novel butenoate derivative, methyl (Z)-4-{[(Z)-1-(hydroxymethyl)-2-phenyl-1-ethenyl] amino}-4-oxo-2-butenoate (1), was isolated from the fermentation broth of an Aspergillus niger strain Ta1. The structure (1) was elucidated by spectral analysis. Bioassays showed that compound 1 had a weak antioxidant activity.
