Purification, structural elucidation and anticancer activity of a compound extracted from Aspergillus fumigatus strain MF-1.

The fungus is a great source of secondary metabolites which may possess various biological activities for the treatment of human diseases and disorders. The present study aimed to identify the secondary metabolites from Aspergillus fumigatus strain MF-1 using analytical techniques (chromatographic and spectroscopic). The instruments includes H-NMR, C-NMR, DEPT, COSY, HMQC, FTIR and UV-Vis spectrophotometer were employed to study the extracted compound and the produced compound is 2,5-dioxocyclopentylamino-7-oxohepta-1,3,5-trienyl-2,5-dihydroxy-3-chlorophenyl-2,4,6-trimethyldeca-2,4-dienamide.
