Secondary mould metabolites of Cladosporium tenuissimum, a hyperparasite of rust fungi

Phytochemistry. 2004 Jul;65(14):2107-11. doi: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2004.03.013.

Abstract

Investigation of the extracts of a culture of Cladosporium tenuissimum, a known hyperparasite of several rust fungi, gave rise to the isolation of cladosporols B-E (2-5). Their structure and stereochemistry were elucidated on the basis of 1H and 13C NMR evidence and CD measures. Cladosporols 1-5 were active in inhibiting the urediniospore germination of the bean rust agent Uromyces appendiculatus.
