Abstract

In the course of screening for small-molecule modulators of erythropoietin gene expression, five destruxins were isolated from the fungal culture of OS-F68576. The structures were elucidated by extensive 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and by hydrolytic modification. One compound (destruxin-A4 chlorohydrin, 1) is a novel destruxin. All these compounds induced erythropoietin gene expression 5-fold at concentration of 0.2-2 μM.
