Isoprenylated cyclohexanoids from the basidiomycete Hexagonia speciosa.

Nine oxygenated cyclohexanoids, speciosins L-T (1-9) as well as a 5H-furan-2-one metabolite, 5'-O-acetylaporpinone A (10), together with known analogs, speciosins A, B, D, E, F, I and K (11-17), and aporpinone A (18), were isolated from a scale-up cultures of the basidiomycete Hexagonia speciosa. Their structures were elucidated by analysis of spectroscopic data, including 1D and 2D NMR. Speciosin B (12) showed significant cytotoxicity against several tumor cell lines with IC50 values in the range 0.23-3.30 μM.
