A novel oleic acid ester of the carotane sesquiterpene 14-hydroxy CAF-603 was isolated from Trichoderma virens grown in a solid brown rice-based medium, a solid millet-based medium, or a mannitol-based liquid medium. Its structure was determined on the basis of ms and nmr analysis. It retains distinct biological activity on the high conductance calcium-activated potassium channel, unlike its analogues 14-hydroxy CAF-603, CAF-603 3-oleate, or CAF-603 3-linoleate.
