Cytotoxins, Mycotoxins and Drugs from a New Deuteromycete, Acremonium neo-caledoniae, from the Southwestern Lagoon of New Caledonia

Abstract

A new cytotoxic trichothecene sesquiterpene, verrol 4-acetate, was isolated, along with known macrocyclic trichothene mycotoxins and medicinal styrylpyrones, from cultures of a new deuteromycete Acremonium neo-caledoniae Roquebert et Dupont n. sp., taken from drifting wood in the southwestern lagoon of New Caledonia.

Key words

Eumycota, Acremonium neo-caledoniae - trichothecene sesquiterpenes - styrylpyrones
