Isolation and Structure Elucidation of a New Metabolite Produced by Aspergillus parasiticus
摘要:
A new metabolite, 1,3,6,8-tetrahydroxy-2-(1'-hydroxy-3'-oxobutyl)-arthraquinone, designated as asparasone A (1), was isolated from an Aspergillus parasiticus mutant (ATCC 20979), and its structure was deduced from spectral data. Several wild-type isolates of A. parasiticus also produced 1. Asparasone A (1) is structurally related to intermediates in the aflatoxin biosynthetic pathway.
