Abstract

Chaetoglobosin Y (1), was isolated from the endolichenic fungal strain Chaetomium globosum (No. 64-5-8-2), along with related six known cytochalasans, chaetoglobosin Fex (2), chaetoglobosin E (3), isochaetoglobosin D (4), chaetoglobosin G (5), cytoglobosin B (6), and cytoglobosin C (7). Their structures were determined by detailed spectroscopic analyses and comparison with those of the closely related compounds previously reported. The cytotoxicity to HCT-116 cell line of 2-7 was evaluated in vitro with doxorubicin as positive control.

Keywords: Chaetoglobosins; Chaetomiaceae; Chaetomium globosum; Cytochalasans; Cytotoxicity.
