Mussel power: The structures and configurations have been determined of four new indole alkaloids, notoamides A–D, which were isolated from mussel‐derived Aspergillus sp. Notoamides A–C show moderate cytotoxicity against cancer cell lines. The relationship between these and other metabolites suggests that the fungus uses a diverse biosynthetic pathway.
Aus dem Meer: Die Strukturen und Konfigurationen von vier neuen Indolalkaloiden aus dem aus Muscheln stammenden Pilz Aspergillus sp., den Notoamiden A–D, wurden bestimmt. Die Notoamide A–C sind moderat zytotoxisch gegen Krebszelllinien. Die Beziehung zwischen ihnen und anderen Metaboliten spricht dafür, dass der Pilz einen vielseitigen Biosyntheseweg nutzt.
