Dacrymenone and VM 3298-2 - New Antibiotics with Antibacterial and Antifungal Activity

Abstract: Two new antibiotic metabolites, dacrymenone (1) and VM 3298-2 (2), were isolated from fermentations of a Dacrymyces sp., and their structures were determined by spectroscopic techniques. Dacrymenone (1) is a new eremophilane sesquiterpenoid while VM 3298-2 (2) is a bis-enol ether between methyl pyruvate and 4,6-dihydroxycyclohexan-1,3-dione. Dacrymenone (1) shows weak antibacterial and antifungal activity while VM 3298-2 (2) exhibits cytotoxic and antifungal activities.

“…Glykenins were originally isolated from an unidentified basidiomycete [23]. After that, glykenin IV A was isolated from Dacrymyces stillatus [24]. We isolated here a new glykenin-related compound, F-19848 A, from a different Dacrymyces strain.…”

“…Inhibition of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis was tested with N. coryli and HL 60 cells as described previously [12,13]. Inhibition of oxygen uptake (respiration) in Bacillus subtilis and Nematospora coryli was measured with an oxygen electrode (pO 2 analysator R55, Bachofer, Reutlingen).…”

“…The fungal strains used were: Mucor miehei TU 284, Nematospora corily ATCC 10647, Paecilomyces variotii ETH 114646, and Penicillium notatum. Extracts that showed the highest activity against one or more test microorganisms in the primary assay were considered potentially active and selected to determine a minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) value against B. brevis, P. notatum, and P. variotii with the serial dilution assays [18]. Different concentrations of extracts were placed in tubes before the diluted bacterial and fungal spore suspensions (2 mL) were added.…”
