Cytotoxic metabolites from a fungal adherent of a marine alga

Phytochemistry. 1995 Jan;38(1):155-8. doi: 10.1016/0031-9422(94)00582-e.

Abstract

Leptosins G, G1, G2 and H, belonging to a series of dimeric epipolythiodioxopiperazines, were isolated from the mycelium of a strain of Leptosphaeria sp. stuck on the marine alga Sargassum tortile. Their stereostructures were elucidated by chemical and spectral evidence.
