Bioorg Med Chem. 2008 Jun 1;16(11):6021-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2008.04.052. Epub 2008 Apr 25.

Abstract

Pestaloficiols A-E (1-5), five new cyclopropane derivatives, have been isolated from cultures of the plant endophyte Pestalotiopsis fici. The structures of these compounds were determined by NMR spectroscopy, and the absolute configuration of 1 was assigned using the modified Mosher method. Compounds 1, 2, and 4 displayed inhibitory effects on HIV-1 replication in C8166 cells.
