  • Abstract
    A marine fungal isolate, identified as Drechslera sp., was mass cultivated and found to produce a new naturally occurring seco-sativene type sesquiterpene helminthosporic acid (1) and three known sesquiterpenes, helminthosporol (2), drechslerine A (3) and (+) secolongifolene-diol (4). The structures of all compounds were determined by interpretation of their spectroscopic data 1D (1H and 13C), 2D (COSY, DQF, NOE, HSQC and HMBC) NMR, MS, UV and IR analyses. All compounds have been tested toward antioxidants, antimicrobial and antifouling effects.
