| Abstract: | Besides reticulol, the strain MD611-C6 produced two compounds which inhibited cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases EC 3.1.4. C.] These substances were isolated and their structures were elucidated to be 8-hydroxy-6, 7-dimethoxy-3-hydroxymethyIisocoumarin (II) and 6, 8-dihyroxy-7-methoxy-3-hydroxymethylisocoumarin (III). Concentrations of II and III for 50% inhibition of cAMP phosphodiesterase were 3.97 × 10?4m and 1.26 × 10?8m, respectively. |
