Cytotoxins, mycotoxins and drugs from a new deuteromycete, Acremonium neo-caledoniae, from the southwestern lagoon of New Caledonia

Planta Med. 2000 Feb;66(1):63-6. doi: 10.1055/s-2000-11110.

Abstract

A new cytotoxic trichothecene sesquiterpene, verrol 4-acetate, was isolated, along with known macrocyclic trichothene mycotoxins and medicinal styrylpyrones, from cultures of a new deuteromycete Acremonium neo-caledoniae Roquebert et Dupont n. sp., taken from drifting wood in the southwestern lagoon of New Caledonia.
