Two new modified trichothecenes, 2-deoxy-11-epi-3 alpha-hydroxysambucoin [1] and 2-deoxy-11-epi-12-acetyl-3 alpha-hydroxysambucoin [2], were isolated from Fusarium sporotrichioides culture. This is the first report of modified trichothecenes where the two six-membered rings are cis-fused. Structures were elucidated using gc-ms, nmr, X-ray crystallography, and other spectroscopic techniques. Compounds 1 and 2 were screened for relative cytotoxicity in cultured baby hamster kidney (BHK-21) cells and found to be non-toxic.
