A fungal extract (MSX 63619), from the Mycosynthetix library of over 50,000 fungi, displayed promising cytotoxicity against a human tumor cell panel.

The structure of 1 was deduced via spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques. The IC(50) value of 1 was moderate, ranging from 3 to 13 μM, depending on the cell line tested. ...[more]
