Myxochelin A is a microbialmetabolite that has been found inA. disciformisand has diverse biological activities.1It is active against Gram-positive bacteria, includingB. cereus,S. aureus, andM. luteus, but not Gram-negative bacteria or fungi in an agar diffusion assay when used at a concentration of 80 μg disc. Myxochelin A inhibits 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) activity with an IC50value of 1.9 μM for the recombinant human enzyme.2It is cytotoxic to 26-L5 colon cancer cells when used at a concentration of 3 μg ml.3
(-)-Mycousnine is a microbialmetabolite and derivative of usnic acid originally isolated fromM. nawaethat has antibacterial and antifungal activities.1,2It is active against the Gram-positive bacteriaB. subtilis,K. rhizophila, andS. aureus(MICs = 4, 8, and 4 g ml, respectively) but not the Gram-negative bacteriaE. coli,S. typhimurium, andK. pneumoniae(MICs = >128 g ml for all).2(-)-Mycousnine is also active against the fungiT. mentagrophytes,T. rubrum, andC. albicans(MICs = 25, 25, and 100 μg ml, respectively).1 1.Sassa, T., and Igarashi, M.Structures of (-)-mycousnine, (+)-isomycousnine and (+)-oxymycousnine, new usnic acid derivatives from phytopathogenic Mycosphaerella nawaeAgric.

Phenylpyropene A is a fungal metabolite originally isolated from P. griseofulvum that has enzyme inhibitory and insecticidal activities.1,2,3 It inhibits acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT; IC50 = 0.8 μM).1 Phenylpyropene A inhibits diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) in rat liver microsomes (IC50 = 78.7 μM). It induces mortality in 100% of M. persicae when used at a concentration of 5 ppm.3 |1. Kwon, O.E., Rho, M.C., Song, H.Y., et al.
