Abstract

Seven previously unknown sesquiterpenoids and norsesquiterpenoids, rhodocoranes F-L (1-7), were isolated from the fermentation broth of the basidiomycete Rhodotus palmatus. Their structures were elucidated utilizing 1D and 2D NMR techniques as well as HRESIMS; they are unusual noracorane, spiro[4.4]nonene, and acorane-type sesquiterpenoids. They include the first naturally occurring cyclopentylidenefuranones (3-5) and the new tricyclic scaffold of 7. Metabolites 1-7 exhibited a general mild antimycotic activity, while 1-3 also displayed cytotoxic effects.
