Antimicrobial and Cytotoxic Cyathane-Xylosides from Cultures of the Basidiomycete <i>Dentipellis fragilis</i>

In our continued search for biologically active metabolites from cultures of rare Basidiomycota species, we found eight previously undescribed cyathane-xylosides from submerged cultures of <i>Dentipellis fragilis</i>, which were named dentifragilins A-H. In addition, the known cyathane d...

Description
Summary:In our continued search for biologically active metabolites from cultures of rare Basidiomycota species, we found eight previously undescribed cyathane-xylosides from submerged cultures of <i>Dentipellis fragilis</i>, which were named dentifragilins A-H. In addition, the known cyathane derivatives striatal D and laxitextine A were isolated. All compounds were characterized by high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESIMS) as well as by 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Several of the compounds exhibited significant activities in standardized cell-based assays for the determination of antimicrobial and cytotoxic effects. The discovery of cyathanes in the genus <i>Dentipellis</i> has chemotaxonomic implications, as this class of diterpenoids has already been shown to be characteristic for mycelial cultures of the related genera <i>Hericium</i> and <i>Laxitextum</i>, which are classified as <i>Dentipellis</i> in the family Hericiaceae.
