“…All six γ-lactones exhibited cytotoxicity against breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 with inhibitory rates of 24.4, 24.2, 23.1, 24.4, and 24.6 %, respectively, at a concentration of 10 μg/mL. Eutypellin A is a γ-lactone that exhibited cytotoxic activity against NCI-H187 (human small-cell lung cancer cells), MCF-7, KB, and nonmalignant Vero cells with IC 50 values of 12, 84, 38, and 88 μM compared to the standard ellipticine, which exhibited IC 50 values of 3.6, 2.5, and 5.5 μM, respectively (Isaka et al 2009 ). Eutypellin A was isolated from the endophytic fungus Eutypella sp.…”
