Hortein, a new natural product from the fungus Hortaea werneckii associated with the sponge Aplysina aerophoba
Brauers, G.; Ebel, R.; Edrada, R.; Wray, V.; Berg, A.; Gräfe, U.; Proksch, P., 2001: Hortein, a new natural product from the fungus Hortaea werneckii associated with the sponge Aplysina aerophoba. Journal of Natural Products 64(5): 651-652
The fungus Hortaea werneckii isolated from the Mediterranean sponge Aplysina aerophoba, collected at Banyuls-sur-Mer in southern France, yielded a new compound named hortein (1), which possesses a unique ring system hitherto unknown for natural products. The structure of 1 was established on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometric (ESI, CI, FAB, EI) data.
