E. Sakuno et al., A new inhibitor of 5 '-hydroxyaverantin dehydrogenase, an enzyme involved in aflatoxin biosynthesis, from Trichoderma hamatum, J NAT PROD, 63(12), 2000, pp. 1677-1678
Screening for inhibitors of 5'-hydroxyaverantin dehydrogenase, an enzyme in
volved in aflatoxin biosynthesis, resulted in the isolation of a new metabo
lite (1) from Trichoderma hamatum. On the basis of spectroscopic data, 1 wa
s determined to be 4,6-dihydroxy-5-methoxy-6a-methylcyclohexa [de] indano-[
7,6-e]cyclopenta[c]2H-pyran-1,9-dione.
