C. Wagner et al., RUBROBRAMIDE, A CYTOTOXIC AND PHYTOTOXIC METABOLITE FROM CLADOBOTRYUM-RUBROBRUNNESCENS, Journal of natural products, 61(4), 1998, pp. 501-502
Cladobotrin (1) and rubrobramide (2) were isolated from the culture fi
ltrate of Cladobotryum rubrobrunnescens, a mycophilic deuteriomycete.
Rubrobramide (2), possessing a unique oxidized tricyclic system, is a
new compound structurally related to flavipucine (3), which also is pr
oduced by the fungus. The structure of 2 was determined by spectroscop
ic methods. Cladobotrin (1) exhibited weak nematicidal activity toward
Meloidogyne incognita, while 2 showed weak cytotoxic and phytotoxic a
ctivities.
