Identification of Lycopodium Alkaloids Produced by an Ultraviolet-Irradiated Strain of Paraboeremia, an Endophytic Fungus from Lycopodium serratum var. longipetiolatum.

12- epi-Lycopodine (1), a Lycopodium alkaloid, along with lycopodine (2) and huperzine A (3), were discovered in the mycelium of Paraboeremia sp. Lsl3KI076, a UV-irradiated strain of Paraboeremia sp. Lsl3, an endophytic fungus from Lycopodium serratum Thunb. var. longipetiolatum Spring. Additionally, a trace of 1 was isolated from Phlegmariurus nummulariifolius (Blume) Ching, and the structure was elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data. This is the first report proving that a new naturally occurring Lycopodium alkaloid can be obtained from an endophytic fungus.
