Flavomannin 6,6′,8-tri-O-methyl ether occurs in the fruiting bodies of the Australian toadstool Dermocybe sp. WAT 24274 as an anisochiral mixture of the (3S,3′S,P)- and (3R,3′R,M)-enantiomers (5) and (7), respectively, in which the former predominates to the extent of 50% e.e. The structure of the natural product is determined by spectroscopic methods and the absolute configuration and enantiomeric purity are deduced from the c.d. spectrum and by chemical degradation of the natural product to a mixture of stereoisomeric dihydroanthracenones that has been analysed by chiral h.p.l.c.

A new pigment, phlegmacin A 8,8’-di-O-methyl ether (1), was isolated from fruiting bodies of Xylaria euglossa (Ascomycota) along with the known fungal pigments (S)-torosachrysone-8-O-methyl ether (2) and emodin-6,8-di-O-methyl ether (3). The structure of compound 1 was established on the basis of its spectroscopic data and the absolute configuration determined as P and 3’S by comparing the CD and 1H NMR spectra of 1 with those of the phlegmacins 4 and 5. Compound 1 represents the first phlegmacin type pigment isolated from the ascomycete

Four sesterterpenes, erectusolides B, C, D, and seco-manoalide-25-methyl ether, two 2-furanone derivatives, erectusfuranones A and B, together with thirteen known sesterterpenes, (6Z)-neomanoalide-24-acetate, two diastereomers of 24-O-methylmanoalide, luffariolide B, manoalide, (6E)- and (6Z)-neomanoalide, seco-manoalide, scalarafuran, 12-acetylscalarolide, 12-epi-O-deacetyl-19-deoxyscalarin, 12-epi-scalarin, and 12-O-deacetyl-12-epi-scalarin, three indole alkaloids, 5-hydroxy-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde, hyrtiosine A, and variabine B, and one norterpene, cavernosine were isolated from the marine sponge Hyrtios erectus. Their structures were determined by means of spectroscopic methods and the absolute configurations of the asymmetric centers were determined using the modified Mosher’s method. The cytotoxic activities for the isolated compounds have been reported.

Chiral resolution of (±)-3α,6β-dicinnamoyloxytropane (1) and (±)-3α,6β-di(1-methyl-1 H-pyrrol-2-ylcarbonyloxy)tropane (2), prepared by esterification of (±)-3α,6β-tropanediol (3), was achieved using an amylose-derived HPLC stationary phase and normal phase conditions. The corresponding vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra provided the absolute configuration of the enantiomers as (-)-(3 R,6 R)-1, (+)-(3S,6S)- 1, (-)-(3 R,6 R)-2 and (+)-(3S,6S)- 2. In each case, characteristic VCD bands for the absolute configuration determination of the 3α,6β-tropandiol esters were observed. While the absolute configuration of natural 1, previously isolated from Erythroxylum hypericifolium, could not be established due to the lack of literature optical rotation values, that of catuabine E, previously isolated from E. vacciniifolium, is now assigned as (-)-(3 R,6 R)-2 by comparison with the optical rotation values of the prepared samples and the reported rotation of the natural product.

Ganoderma applanatum is a fungus used for the prevention and treatment of a variety of disorders in China. In the present study, four new compounds, named shushe acids A-D (1-4), were isolated from the fruiting bodies of this species. Their structures were identified on the basis of spectroscopic methods. Compounds 1-4 are all natural product hybrids composed of derivatives of gallic acid, glycerol and succinic acid. None of the four compounds showed activity against the MCF-7 cell line.
