Abstract
Cytochathiazines A-C (1-3), which represent a new type of merocytochalasan, were isolated from coculture of Chaetomium globosum and Aspergillus flavipes. Compounds 1-3 are the first natural products featuring an unprecedented 2 H-1,4-thiazine functionality. Plausible biosynthetic pathways for 1-3 with a chaetoglobosin and a dipeptide as the main constitutional units were proposed. Compound 2 induced apoptosis in leukemia cells through the activation of caspase-3 and the degradation of poly ADP-ribose polymerase.
