Comparative Study of Toxic Terpenoidal Aldehydes and Lactone Derivatives from the European Polypore .

Two unprecedented isomeric secondary metabolites named vibralactones Z () and Z (), in addition to eleven known compounds (-), were isolated from solid-state rice culture medium of (Bondarzewiaceae). Chemical structures of the isolated compounds were established via spectral analyses. The new lactone derivatives were weakly active against without any significant cytotoxicity, while the molecules containing an aldehyde functionality showed significant antimicrobial and cytotoxic effects. For instance, erinacine P () and (+)-isovelleral () and erinacine P () were cytotoxic against all tested cell lines at IC values in the ranges of 3.5-14.2 and 2.8-30.2 μM, respectively. In addition, they revealed moderate antimicrobial activity with the lowest minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values recorded against (8.3 μg/mL), , and at 16.6 μg/mL.
