Toxic metabolite produced by Aspergillus wentii.
Mycelial extracts of an Aspergillus wentii strain grown on yeast-extract sucrose medium and initially isolated from country-cured ham were highly toxic when inoculated into chicken embryos or fed to mice. Moldy corn and rice were less toxic when fed to mice. Water extracts of moldy corn or rice or culture filtrates from yeast-extract sucrose medium were not toxic. Purification by thin-layer chr...
متن کاملMicrobial transformation of artemisinin by Aspergillus terreus
BACKGROUND Artemisinin (1) and its derivatives are now being widely used as antimalarial drugs, and they also exhibited good antitumor activities. So there has been much interest in the structural modification of artemisinin and its derivatives because of their effective bioactivities. The microbial transformation is a promising route to obtain artemisinin derivatives. The present study focuses...
متن کامل(+)-Geodin from Aspergillus terreus.
The fungal metabolite (+)-geodin [systematic name: (2R)-methyl 5,7-dichloro-4-hydroxy-6'-methoxy-6-methyl-3,4'-dioxospiro[benzofuran-2,1'-cyclohexa-2',5'-diene]-2'-carboxylate], C(17)H(12)Cl(2)O(7), was isolated from Aspergillus terreus. The crystal structure contains two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. Molecules denoted 1 interact through O-H...O hydrogen bonds creating chains of...
متن کاملButyrolactones from Aspergillus terreus.
In the process development of lovastatin using Aspergillus terreus DRCC 152 in solid state fermentation, we have isolated a new butyrolactone-IV (3) along with the previously reported butyrolactone-I (1) and butyrolactone-II (2) produced under submerged conditions. The structure of compound 3 has been characterized as 3-hydroxy-5-[2-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-2(R)-2,3-dihydro-benzo[b]furan- 5 yl...
متن کامل4-Hydroxykigelin and 6-demethylkigelin, root growth promoters, produced by Aspergillus terreus.
Root growth promoters, 4-hydroxykigelin (1) and 6-demethylkigelin (2), together with 6-hydroxymellein (3) were isolated from cultures of the fungus Aspergillus terreus and their structures were identified by spectroscopic analysis. The biological activities of the three dihydroisocoumarins, 1, 2, and 3, have been examined using a bioassay method with lettuce seedlings. Furthermore, interactions...
