Abstract

Basidiomycetes are known to produce a series of biologically active compounds. 1 Recently from the wood-inhabiting fungus Aporpium caryae, two indole metabolites 1 and 2, possessing antifungal activity, have been isolated. 2 These compounds are characterized by a N-isoprenyl-indole substructure which is common to other natural aminoacids and alkaloids produced by terrestrial or marine microorganisms and showing interesting bioactivities. ...
