Abstract

Pterulinic acid (1) and pterulone (2), two novel halogenated Antibiotics, were isolated from fermentations of Pterula sp. 82168. Both compounds exhibited significant Antifungal and weak or no cytotoxic activities. 1 and 2 are effective inhibitors of eucaryotic respiration. The target of the Antibiotics resides within the mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I).
