Studies on Fungal Products. XVI. : New Metabolites Related to 3-Methylorsellinate from Aspergillus silvaticus

Abstract

Aspergillus silvaticus grown on Raulin-Thom medium produced a series of new fungal metabolites : ethyl 3-methylorsellinate (1), 6-hydroxy-4-mthoxy-5-methylphthalimidine (2), and 3, 6-dimethyl-4-hydrxy-2-methoxybenzaldehyde (3), along with quadrilineatin (4). These metabolites may be precursors in the biogenesis of silvaticol (6), which has been isolated previously as a metbolite of the same fungus.
