Abstract

A new phenylspirodrimane dimer, named stachartarin A (1), was isolated from cultures of the tin mine tailings-associated fungus Stachybotrys chartarum. Its structures were elucidated by means of spectroscopic methods. At the same time, the compound was tested for its cytotoxicity against HL-60, SMMC-7721, A-549, MCF-7, and SW480 cells.

Keywords: Cytotoxicity; Phenylspirodrimane dimer; Secondary metabolites; Stachybotrys chartarum.
