A. Arnone et al., SECONDARY MOLD METABOLITES .52. STRUCTURE ELUCIDATION OF DIATRETOL - A NEW DIKETOPIPERAZINE METABOLITE FROM THE FUNGUS CLITOCYBE DIATRETA, Liebigs Annalen, (11), 1996, pp. 1875-1877
In the culture broth of the fungus Clitocybe diatreta a novel diketopi
perazine metabolite, diatretol (1), was detected by chemical screening
. The structure was established on the basis of H-1- and C-13-NMR data
and single-crystal X-ray analysis. Diatretol exhibits a low antibacte
rial activity and inhibits the growth germination of Lepidium sativum.
