Trichodermatides A-D, novel polyketides from the marine-derived fungus Trichoderma reesei

Org Lett. 2008 Feb 7;10(3):393-6. doi: 10.1021/ol702674f. Epub 2007 Dec 29.

Abstract

Four new polyketide derivatives, Trichodermatides A-D (1-4) were isolated from the marine-derived fungus Trichoderma reesei. Trichodermatide A (1) is an unprecedented example of a polyketide with a ketal-containing pentacyclic skeleton. The chemical structures and absolute configurations of compounds 1-4 were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic methods, especially 2D NMR and CD spectral analysis, and supported by their proposed biosynthesis pathway. The cytotoxicity of 1-4 was evaluated against A375-S2 human melanoma cell line.
