Arugosin F: a new antifungal metabolite from the coprophilous fungus Ascodesmis sphaerospora

J Nat Prod. 1998 Dec;61(12):1566-7. doi: 10.1021/np9801918.

Abstract

Chemical studies of the coprophilous fungus Ascodesmis sphaerospora (JS 247) have led to the isolation of arugosin F (1), a new antifungal and antibacterial metabolite. The structure was determined based on NMR and MS data and on comparison with data for known members of the arugosin class. A known xanthone (2) was also isolated.
