A new epidithiodioxopiperazine compound named verticillin G along with the known compound verticillin D has been isolated from the mycelium of liquid fermentation cultures of a fungal strain Bionectra byssicola F 120. The structure of verticillin G was determined on the basis of MS and NMR data. Verticillin G inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus including methicillin-resistant and quinolone-resistant S. aureus with MIC (microg/ml) of 3-10.

In the course of our screening for new antibacterials from microbial metabolites, two new dioxopiperazine metabolites, glioperazines B (1) and C (2), together with the known compound, glioperazine (3), were isolated from the mycelia of a liquid fermentation culture of the fungus, Bionectra byssicola F120. The structures of compounds 1 and 2 were assigned on the basis of MS and NMR data. Compound 1 is an unusual dioxopiperazine metabolite containing an OMe group at the alpha-carbon of the amino acid residue.

Three new epidithiodioxopiperazine compounds, bionectins A (1), B (2), and C (3), along with a known compound, verticillin D (4), have been isolated from the mycelium of liquid fermentation cultures of the fungus Bionectra byssicola F120. The structures of compounds 1-3 were assigned on the basis of MS and NMR data. Compounds 1 and 2 incorporate a dioxopiperazine moiety with a disulfide bridge in their molecules, while 3 contains a dioxopiperazine ring with two methylsulfanyl groups.
