Sordarin Diterpene Glycosides with an Unusual 1,3-Dioxolan-4-one Ring from the Zoanthid-Derived Fungus Curvularia hawaiiensis TA26-15.

Six new sordarin tetracyclic diterpene glycoside glycosides, moriniafungins B-G, and anew sordaricin tetrACYclicDiterPene, sordARicin B, together with two known analogues were isolated from the zoanthid-derived fungus Curvularia hawaiiensis TA26-15.

Studies on Morinia: recognition of Morinia longiappendiculata sp. nov. as a new endophytic fungus, and a new circumscription of Morinia pestalozzioides.

Comparative sequence analysis of the ITS rDNA region and fragments of the translation elongation factor 1alpha, actin and chitin synthase 1 genes and the study of the HPLC profiles of the M. pestalozzioides isolates supported the recognition of the new species, Morinia longiappendiculata sp.

Time-Dependent Production of the Bioactive Peptides Endolides A and B and the Polyketide Mariline A from the Sponge-Derived Fungus Stachylidium bicolor 293K04

Results indicated a first production phase of secondary metabolite dominated by peptides, after 21–23 days, which suggests value in exploring extended cultivation times to identify novel bioactive fungal compounds.

It is found that the addition of XAD-16 resin resulted in four-fold higher titers in the production of cerulenin when compared to the best production conditions described in literature for the original fungal producer strain, Cephalosporium caerulens KF-140 (=Sarocladium oryzae).

Results from in vivo experiments comparing significant trend and progressiveness in response analyses indicated that L-671,329 and L-646,991 were equipotent but slightly less active than L-687-901, while L-787,781 was ineffective at 10 mg/kg.

In Vitro Pharmacodynamic Parameters of Sordarin Derivatives in Comparison with Those of Marketed Compounds against Pneumocystis carinii Isolated from Rats

In this study, the in vitro pharmacodynamic parameters of four sordarin derivatives have been evaluated by a new quantitative approach and compared with the commercially available drugs pentamidine, atovaquone, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and showed GM 237354 and GM 191519 to be approximately 35- and 100-fold more active in vitro than pentAMidine, the most active marketed compound.
