Trichodermatides E and F from fungus Trichoderma applanatum.

Two new polyketide derivatives, trichodermatides E (1) and F (2), are unprecedented examples of a polyketide with 6/6/6/6 tetracyclic skeleton, together with five known analogs koninginin B (3), koninginin D (4), 7-O-methylkoninginin D (5), koninginins E and F (6-7), were isolated from the plant endophytic fungus Trichoderma applanatum. The structures of these two compounds were determined by NMR data and HR-ESI-MS analysis. The putative biosynthesis of compounds 1-7 was presented.
