Lichenicolins A and B, new bisnaphthopyrones from an unidentified lichenicolous fungus, strain LL-RB0668.
Lichenicolous fungus LL-RB0668 was isolated from a processed lichen thallus on a modified Lilly-Barnett solid medium. Two new bisnaphthopyrone compounds, lichenicolins A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the culture broth of this organism fermented on a rice-based solid medium. These results demonstrate that lichen-associated fungi potentially are a good resource for new bioactive natural products for current screening programs.
