Sporiolides A and B, New Cytotoxic Twelve-Membered Macrolides from a Marine-Derived Fungus Cladosporium Species

Abstract

Two new cytotoxic twelve-membered macrolides, sporiolides A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the cultured broth of a fungus Cladosporium sp., which was separated from an Okinawan marine brown alga Actinotrichia fragilis, and the structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data. Sporiolides A (1) and B (2) exhibited cytotoxicity against murine lymphoma L1210 cells. Spoliolide A (1) showed antifungal activity against Cryptococcus neoformans and Neurospora crassa.
