A new chamigrane sesquiterpene from the basidiomycete Antrodiella albocinnamomea

One new chamigrane sesquiterpene, antroalbol A (1), was isolated from the cultures of the higher fungus Antrodiella albocinnamomea. Its structure was established by means of spectroscopic methods, and the absolute configuration of 1 was confirmed by single crystal x-ray diffraction analysis. The compound was evaluated for its cytotoxicity against five human cancer cell lines, but no significant cytotoxicity was found.
