title: Isolation and characterization of bioactive metabolites from marine-derived filamentous fungi collected from tropical and sub-tropical coral reefs.
abstract: Two new compounds, paecilospirone (1) and phomopsidin (2), and seven known compounds, chaetoglobosin A (3), griseofulvin (4), fusarielin A (5), fusapyrone (6), deoxyfusapyrone (7), and verrucarins J (8) and L acetate (9), have been isolated and characterized from marine-derived fungi collected in tropical and sub-tropical coral reef environments. The utility of marine-derived fungi as a source of bioactive secondary metabolites is discussed.
