Abstract:
Six compounds were isolated from the crude extract of the liquid culture of
Alternaria sp. W-1 by silica gel column chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 gel column chromatography, and HPLC. They were identified as 6-
iso-tricycloalternarene 6a (
1), tricycloalternarene 6a (
2), tricycloalternarene B (
3), uracil (
4), 5-methyluracil (
5), and lumichrome (
6) through HR-MS, NMR and literature comparison. 6-
iso-Tricycloalternarene 6a (
1) is a new compound which has never been reported in the literature. In cytotoxicity assay, compounds
1-
3 showed weak inhibition activity to human hepatoma cell line SMMC-7721 and human gastric cell line SGC-7901.
