Unprecedented Immunosuppressive Polyketides from <i>Daldinia eschscholzii</i> , a Mantis‐Associated Fungus

Abstract

Going with a gut reaction: Dalesconols A (structure shown) and B were discovered in the title fungus (middle picture) derived from the mantis gut. The novel architecture and biological profiles of these natural products make the dalesconols attractive lead compounds for the development of immunosuppressive agents.
