Pericosines A-E 1-5 have been isolated from a strain of Periconia byssoides originally separated from the sea hare Aplysia kurodai. Among them, pericosines C 3 and E 5 were separated as enantiomeric mixtures. Their stereostructures, except for compound 1, have been elucidated or identified on the basis of spectroscopic analyses, including 1D and 2D NMR techniques, and X-ray analysis. In addition, conformation for all the compounds has been discussed. Compounds 1-3 exhibited significant growth inhibition against tumour cell lines. Pericosine A 1 also showed significant in vivo tumour inhibitory activity. In addition, compound inhibited the protein kinase EGFR and topoisomerase II.

Objective: This study investigates the differential impact of fecal fungal microbiota on the pathogenesis of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). We aim to delineate distinct microbial patterns across various stages of each disease.
Methods: We conducted fungal internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) sequencing analysis on fecal samples from 48 ALD patients, 55 MAFLD patients, and 64 healthy controls (HCs).

In Sichuan province, walnuts, consisting of , , and the hybrid × , are commercially important edible nuts, and is the most widespread plant. To date, the diversity and distribution of fungi inhabiting on have not received enough attention, although there have been studies focusing on pathogens from fruit and stem. In order to update the checklist of fungi associated with Sichuan walnuts, a survey on fungi associated with the three species from 15 representative regions in Sichuan was conducted.

Chiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of natural pericosine A, which appeared in literature first in 1977, from Periconia byssoides was conducted using a column CHIRALPAK® AD-H to determine the enantiomeric composition of the original mixture which was found to be 68: 32 mixtures of (+)- and (-)-enantiomer, respectively. Furthermore, two independently isolated samples of pericosine A from the same fungus were also analyzed to show the two peaks in the HPLC charts at approximate 1:1 ratio. These results concluded that pericosine A derived from Periconia byssoides was indeed an enantiomeric mixture.

As a result of an ongoing research survey of microfungi in Yunnan, China, several saprobic ascomycetes were collected from various host substrates. Preliminary morphological analyses identified a few of these taxa as species. We obtained DNA sequence data of the species from pure cultures and investigated their phylogenetic affinities.
