The genus Nodulisporium, is known to produce secondary metabolites with structural diversity. A new alkaloid, 2-hy- droxy-1,1-dimethyl-1,2,3,9-tetrahydro-4H-carbazol-4-one(1), was isolated from the extract of a fungal strain Nodulisporium sp. fermented with rice, together with three known phenols, tyrosol(2), hydroxytyrosol(3), and hydroxytyrosol acetate(4). Their structures were identified by detailed spectroscopic analyses.

Background: Nodulisporic acids (NAs) are indole diterpene fungal metabolites exhibiting potent systemic efficacy against blood-feeding arthropods, e.g., bedbugs, fleas and ticks, via binding to arthropod specific glutamate-gated chloride channels.

The fungus showing homology with Nodulisporium by 28S ribosomal gene sequencing, which has been discovered as an endophyte on medicinal plant Nothapodytes foetida, was found to produce 45 and 5.5 microg of camptothecin (CPT) per gram of mycelia at bioreactor and at shake flask, respectively, which was further quantified and characterised by various spectroscopic analyses.

Nodulisporic acid A (NAA) is an indole-diterpene natural product produced by an indeterminate species of the endophytic fungus Nodulisporium. NAA (Figure 1) is structurally related to the paspaline class of fungal metabolites. The biosynthetic origin proposed for these alkaloids involves the acetate/mevalonic acid pathway leading to geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP).
