A new chamigrane sesquiterpene from the rice fermentation of Antrodiella albocinnamomea

A new chamigrane sesquiterpene, albocimea A (1), and one known compound, 6-hydroxy-8-methoxy-3S,5-dimethylisochroman (2), were isolated from the rice fermentation of the fungus Antrodiella albocinnamomea. The structure of new compound was elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Both compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against five human cancer cell lines, but no significant cytotoxicity was found (IC50 values > 40 μM).
