The temperature of cities continues to increase because of the heat island phenomenon and the undeniable climatic change. The observed high ambient temperatures intensify energy problems in cities, deteriorates comfort conditions, put in danger the vulnerable population and amplify the pollution problems. There are some suggested ways to reduce these issues, among them vegetated roofs are shown...

Cristazine (1), a new class of dioxopiperazine alkaloid, along with previously isolated chetomin (2), neoechinulin A (3), and golmaenone (4), were isolated from the mudflat-sediment-derived fungus Chaetomium cristatum. The structure and absolute stereochemistry of 1 was assigned on the basis of NMR, electron impact (EI)-MS, tandem FAB-MS/MS, and circular dichroism (CD) experiments. Compounds 1-...

Four new indolediketopiperazine derivatives (1-4), along with nine known congeners (5-13), were isolated and identified from the culture extract of Eurotium cristatum EN-220, an endophytic fungus obtained from the marine alga Sargassum thunbergii. The structures of thesecompounds were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis and the absolute configurations of compounds 1-4 we...
