Vs. Sobolev et al., ISOLATION AND STRUCTURE ELUCIDATION OF A NEW METABOLITE PRODUCED BY ASPERGILLUS-PARASITICUS, Journal of natural products, 60(8), 1997, pp. 847-850
A new metabolite, ahydroxy-2-(1'-hydroxy-3'-oxobutyl)-arthraquinone, d
esignated as asparasone A (1), was isolated from an Aspergillus parasi
ticus mutant (ATCC 20979), and its structure was deduced from spectral
data. Several wild-type isolates of A. parasiticus also produced 1. A
sparasone A (1) is structurally related to intermediates in the aflato
xin biosynthetic pathway.
