Cyclodepsipeptides and other O-containing heterocyclic metabolites from Beauveria felina EN-135, a marine-derived entomopathogenic fungus

Mar Drugs. 2014 May 13;12(5):2816-26. doi: 10.3390/md12052816.

Abstract

Bioassay-guided fractionation of a culture extract of Beauveria felina EN-135, an entomopathogenic fungus isolated from a marine bryozoan, led to the isolation of a new cyclodepsipeptide, iso-isariin D (1); two new O-containing heterocyclic compounds that we have named felinones A and B (2 and 3); and four known cyclodepsipeptides (4-7). The structures were elucidated via spectroscopic analysis, and the absolute configurations of 1 and 2 were determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and CD, respectively. All isolated compounds were evaluated for antimicrobial activity and brine-shrimp (Artemia salina) lethality.
