Nematicidal epipolysulfanyldioxopiperazines from Gliocladium roseum

J Nat Prod. 2005 Oct;68(10):1510-3. doi: 10.1021/np0502241.

Abstract

Five new verticillin-type epipolysulfanyldioxopiperazines, gliocladine A (1), B (2), C (3), D (4), and E (5), were isolated from wheat solid-substrate fermentation of Gliocladium roseum 1A, along with four known compounds, verticillin A (6), 11'-deoxyverticillin A (7), Sch52900 (8), and Sch52901 (9). Their structures were elucidated by extensive 1D and 2D NMR studies, MS, and chemical transformations. In vitro immersion tests showed that all nine compounds exhibited antinematodal activity against Caenorhabditis elegans and Panagrellus redivivus. The monomeric epipolysulfanydioxopiperazines (3-5), with the indole moiety, were found to be less active than the dimeric compounds (1, 2, 6-8).
