ICM0201 (1), a new inhibitor of murine osteoclastogenesis in culture was isolated from a fermentation broth of Cunninghamella sp. F-1490. The structure of ICM0201 was determined to be (3S, 10aR)-3, 4a-dihydroxy-2, 3, 4, 4a-tetrahydro-2H-pyrano[3, 2-b]benzo[e]morpholine-9-carboxylic acid by spectroscopic analyses and chemical studies. The structure of 1 is unique in that the tricycle ring system is composed of aminal and hemiacetal bonds.
