Abstract
Six bioactive naphthoquinone derivatives, erythrostominone, deoxyerythrosto minone, 4-O-methyl erythrostominane, epierythrostominol, deoxyerythrostomin ol and 3,5,8-trihydroxy-6-methoxy-2-(5-oxohexa-1,3-dienyl)-1,4-naphthoquino ne, were isolated from the insect pathogenic fungus Cordyceps unilateralis BCC1869. While the latter is synthetically known, both it and GO-methyl ery throstominone are products of fungus strain C, unilateralis BCC1869, (C) 19 99 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
