Two new metabolites with cytotoxicities from deep-sea fungus, Aspergillus sydowi YH11-2

Arch Pharm Res. 2007 Sep;30(9):1051-4. doi: 10.1007/BF02980236.

Abstract

Two new compounds, 2, 3, 5-trimethyl-6-(3-oxobutan-2-yl)-4H-pyran-4-one (1) and (2R)-2, 3- dihydro-7-hydroxy-6, 8-dimethyl-2-[(E)-prop-1-enyl] chromen-4-one (2), together with six known compounds (3-8), were isolated from a deep-sea fungus, identified as Aspergillus sydowi, by a bioassay-guided method. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and the cytotoxicities were evaluated by SRB method.
