One new quinolinone, 7-hydroxy-3-methoxyviridicatin (1), along with eight known compounds (2-9) was isolated from the fungus Myrothecium verrucaria, which was collected from lake water of Chenghai, Yunnan Province, China. Their structures were elucidated by detailed analysis of spectroscopic data and comparison with related known compounds. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited weak antibacterial activity. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on quinolinones (1-4) as the secondary metabolites of M. verrucaria.

Four novel macrocyclic trichothecenes, termed mytoxins D-G (1-4), along with four known analogs (5-8), were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of fermented rice inoculated with the fungus Myrothecium verrucaria PA57. Each compound features a tricyclic 12,13-epoxytrichothec-9-ene (EPT) core. Notably, mytoxin G (4) represents the first instance of a macrocyclic trichothecene incorporating a glucosyl unit within the trichothecene structure.

Article Synopsis
- - During the 2022-2023 season, the coffee crop in Hawai'i was valued at $57.1 million, with symptoms of a foliar disease identified in the Kona Typica variety, showing circular, necrotic spots and leaf drop.
- - The disease was linked to a fungus identified through a process involving symptom observation, tissue culture, and genetic analysis, confirming it as *(Tode) L. Lombard & Crous*.
- - To test the pathogenicity of the fungus, researchers inoculated Kona Typica seedlings with a concentrated suspension of fungal spores, aiming to study the effects on plant health.

Mosquitoes, as insect vectors, play a crucial role in transmitting viruses and parasites, leading to millions of human deaths in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of ethanolic extracts of three species within the genus (, , and ) on mosquito larvae to assess the inhibitory effect on growth and development, as well as to determine mortality. We quantify the average lethal concentrations and provide a qualitative characterization of the chemical groups responsible for their potential.

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by various filamentous fungi, including Aspergillus, Fusarium, Penicillium, Alternaria, Claviceps, Mucor, Trichoderma, Trichothecium, Myrothecium, Pyrenophora, and Stachybotrys. They can contaminate various plants or animal foods, resulting in a significant loss of nutritional and commercial value. Several factors contribute to mycotoxin production, such as humidity, temperature, oxygen levels, fungal species, and substrate.
