A new inhibitor of 5'-hydroxyaverantin dehydrogenase, an enzyme involved in aflatoxin biosynthesis, from Trichoderma hamatum

J Nat Prod. 2000 Dec;63(12):1677-8. doi: 10.1021/np000194w.

Abstract

Screening for inhibitors of 5'-hydroxyaverantin dehydrogenase, an enzyme involved in aflatoxin biosynthesis, resulted in the isolation of a new metabolite (1) from Trichoderma hamatum. On the basis of spectroscopic data, 1 was determined to be 4, 6-dihydroxy-5-methoxy-6a-methylcyclohexa[de]indano[7, 6-e]cyclopenta[c]2H-pyran-1,9-dione.
