Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Ethyl acetate extracts from liquid cultures of Armillaria tabescens showed good antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, Escherichia coli and Mycobacterium intracellulare. Chemical analyses of extract constituents led to the isolation and identification of two new compounds, emestrin-G (1) and a new diastereomer of the cephalosporolide series, cephalosporolide-J (2), along with seven other previously known compounds, emestrin (3), emestrin-B (4) cephalosporolide F (5), decarestrictine-C2 (6), erithritol diacetate (7), ergosta-5-7-22-triene-3-ol (8) and ergosta-5-22-diene-3-ol (9). Structural elucidation of all compounds was carried out by NMR and MS analysis. Compounds 1, 3 and 4 were identified as the compounds responsible for the observed antimicrobial activity.
