The upscaling of Xylaria cubensis, an endophyte of Eugenia brasiliensis (Myrtaceae), in PDB medium led to the isolation of known compounds including cytochalasin D (7) and cytochalasin C (8), which exhibited relatively higher phytotoxic activity in all the concentrations tested compared to the commercial herbicide GOAL®. Besides the aforementioned metabolites, one diketopiperazine (DKP) and two isocoumarins wer...
A new compound named methyl (6S,7S,2E,4E)-6,7-dihydroxy-4,6-dimethyl octanoate was isolated from Saccharicola sp. using high performance liquid chromatography-solid phase extraction-transfer tube (HPLC-SPE-TT), together with four known compounds, fusaric acid, trans-4-hydroxymellein, thymidine and adenosine. Saccharicola sp. was isolated from the stems of Eugenia jambolana Lam. (Myrtaceae) as endophytic fungus....
