title: Dichlorinated pulvinic acid derivative from a Malaysian Scleroderma sp.
abstract: A new dichlorinated pulvinic acid derivative, methyl-3',5'-dichloro-4,4'-di-O-methylatromentate, was isolated from the fruiting body of a Scleroderma sp. The structure was determined using spectroscopic methods, and an X-ray analysis was carried out for confirmation of the structure. Compound was found to display moderate antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis.
