Cuparene-type sesquiterpenes were isolated from a culture broth of Flammulina velutipes (Curt.:Fr.) Sing. Using spectroscopic methods (HR-MS, 1H and 13C NMR, and 2D NMR, spectroscopy), their structures were determined to be 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2,7-dihydroxy-5,8,10,10-tetramethyl-2,5-methano-1- benzoxepin and 5-methyl-2-(3-oxo-1,2,2-trimethylcyclopentyl)benzoquinone. Both showed antimicrobial act...

Seven synthetic tetrahydroquinolines with different substitution patterns were obtained by an imino Diels-Alder condensation reaction and were evaluated against phytopathogenic fungi. Compounds with a methoxy group showed interesting activity against Cladosporium cladosporoides with a MIC value of 13.75 microg/mL

During 2002-03 forty-four different barley growing regions in East Azarbaijanprovince of Iran were sampled for epiphytic fungi. Isolation of fungi was achieved using standard methods. As the result 374 hyphomycetous isolates were obtained that were placed in 22 genera and 49 species based on colony morphology and microscopic features (Table 1). Among these, Acremonium egyptiacum, A. sclerotigen...

Um novo sesquiterpeno, aromadendrano-4β,10α,15-triol, foi isolado das folhas de Xylopia brasiliensis Spreng (Annonaceae), juntamente com quatro derivados de esqueleto aromadendrano e três esteróides. As estruturas dos metabólitos foram definidas por meio da análise dos respectivos espectros de RMN, incluindo experimentos bidimensionais, além de espectrometria de massas. Os sesquiterpenos aromad...
