Antifungal activity of altenusin isolated from the endophytic fungus Alternaria sp. against the pathogenic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis.
BACKGROUND Altenusin is a biphenyl derivative isolated from different species of fungi, which presents several biological activities. AIMS We report the antifungal activity of the altenusin isolated from the endophytic fungus Alternaria sp., against clinical isolates of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, and its action on cell walls of P. brasiliensis and the nonpathogenic yeast Schizosaccharomyc...
متن کاملAltenusin, a biphenyl isolated from the endophytic fungus Alternaria sp., inhibits trypanothione reductase from Trypanosoma cruzi.
Parasitic protozoan species belonging to the genera Trypanosoma and Leishmania are the etiological agents of several diseases in tropical areas of the world, for which there is an urgent need for effective and affordable treatment. In this regard, we are screening the Brazilian biodiversity, especially its flora and mycota, for natural products that could serve as leads for drug development aga...
متن کاملGeneral metabolism of the dimorphic and pathogenic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis.
Annotation of the transcriptome of the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis has set the grounds for a global understanding of its metabolism in both mycelium and yeast forms. This fungus is able to use the main carbohydrate sources, including starch, and it can store reduced carbons in the form of glycogen and trehalose; these provide energy reserves that are relevant for metabolic ad...
متن کاملTwo New Metabolites from the Endophytic Fungus Alternaria sp. A744 Derived from Morinda officinalis.
Two new compounds isobenzofuranone A (1) and indandione B (2), together with eleven known compounds (3-13) were isolated from liquid cultures of an endophytic fungus Alternaria sp., which was obtained from the medicinal plant Morinda officinalis. Among them, the indandione (2) showed a rarely occurring indanone skeleton in natural products. Their structures were elucidated mainly on the basis o...
متن کاملThe newly isolated endophytic fungus Paraconiothyrium sp. LK1 produces ascotoxin.
We have isolated five endophytic fungi from the roots of Capsicum annuum, Cucumis sativus and Glycine max. The culture filtrates (CF) of these endophytes were screened on dwarf mutant rice (Waito-C) and normal rice (Dongjin-byeo). Endophyte CAC-1A significantly inhibited the growth of Waito-C and Dongjin-byeo. Endophyte CAC-1A was identified as Paraconiothyrium sp. by sequencing the ITS rDNA re...
