Stachartone A (1), a novel phenylspirodrimane dimer, was isolated from cultures of the tin mine tailings-associated fungus Stachybotrys chartarum. Its structure was elucidated by means of spectroscopic methods. At the same time, compound (1) was tested for its cytotoxicity against five human cancer cell lines.

Article Synopsis
- - The filamentous fungus produces meroterpenoid secondary metabolites, including compounds that can be transformed into isoindolinones using primary amines, revealing their potential for semi-synthetic modification.
- - This study focuses on the reaction of acetoxystachybotrydial acetate with l-tryptophan and tryptamine, discovering rare isomeric structures and investigating their unique behaviors through various analytical techniques.
- - The compounds were assessed for biological activities, including cytotoxicity and metabolism, where one isomer demonstrated lower cytotoxicity, faster metabolism, and higher activity compared to the original substance, highlighting the potential for further research and application.
Assessment of antidiabetic activity of three Phenylspirodrimanes from fungus MUT 3308 by ADME, QSAR, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation studies against protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B).

Phenylspirodrimanes (PSD) are the sesquiterpene quinone type meroterpenoids found in nature. PSDs are found to exhibit inhibitory activity against immunocomplex diseases, and tyrosine kinase receptors. Three of the different PSDs C1, C2, and C3 that have been reported to be isolated from the sponge-associated fungus MUT 3308 are selected for studying their possible inhibitory effect against type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Cannabinoid receptor ligands are renowned as being therapeutically crucial for treating diverse health disorders. Phenylspirodrimanes are meroterpenoids with unique and varied structural scaffolds, which are mainly reported from the genus and display an array of bioactivities. In this work, 114 phenylspirodrimanes reported from were screened for their CB2 agonistic potential using docking and molecular dynamic simulation studies.

Fungi are renowned as a fountainhead of bio-metabolites that could be employed for producing novel therapeutic agents, as well as enzymes with wide biotechnological and industrial applications. (black mold) (Stachybotriaceae) is a toxigenic fungus that is commonly found in damp environments. This fungus has the capacity to produce various classes of bio-metabolites with unrivaled structural features, including cyclosporins, cochlioquinones, atranones, trichothecenes, dolabellanes, phenylspirodrimanes, xanthones, and isoindoline and chromene derivatives.

Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) have complex but understudied biodiversity, especially for natural products discovery. Untargeted metabolomics research on 80 extracts prepared from marine sponge-associated fungi, half from shallow reefs (<30 m) and half from MCEs (30-150 m), facilitated prioritization for further study a fungus from a 103 m deep sponge. LC-MS target-directed isolation yielded a series of new compounds, cymopolyphenols A-F (-), and two known phenylspirodrimanes, F1839-I () and stachybotrylactone ().
