Six new (1-6), together with seven known (7-13), trichothecenes were isolated from the soil-derived Trichoderma brevicompactum PSU-RSPG27. Their structures were established using spectroscopic data. The structure of 1 was confirmed by X-ray data. Trichodermin (7) exhibited the most potent activity against Plasmodium falciparum (K1 strain) with an IC value of 0.1 μM, while other trichothecenes (1, 8, 9, and 12) were much less active, with IC values in the range of 7.1-9.6 μM. Compound 7 displayed activity against noncancerous Vero cells with an IC value of 0.4 μM. The remaining compounds showed moderate to weak activity, with IC values in the range of 6.9-15.3 μM. Compounds 7 and 12 were active against human oral carcinoma (KB) cells with IC values of 2.4 and 3.7 μM, respectively. Additionally, compounds 7 and 12 displayed antifungal activity against Candida albicans with the respective MIC values of 1 and 2 μg/mL and were active against Cryptococcus neoformans with equal MIC values of 4 μg/mL.

Soil sustains human life by nourishing crops, storing food sources, and housing microbes, which may affect the nutrition and biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, some of which are used as drugs. To identify lead compounds for a new class of drugs, we collected soil-derived fungal strains from various environments, including urban areas. As various human pathogens are assumed to influence the biosynthetic pathways of metabolites in soil fungi, leading to the production of novel scaffolds, we focused our work on densely populated urban areas and tourist attractions.

Two new sesquiterpenes, trichocitrinovirenes A () and B (), and five known compounds including four structurally related sesquiterpenes and one γ-lactone were isolated from the soil-derived fungus PSU-SPSF346. The structures were identified by analysis of their spectroscopic data. The relative configuration was assigned based on NOEDIFF data.

A new compound classified as one new azaphilone derivative, nigirpexin E (1), was obtained from the soil-derived fungus Trichoderma afroharzianum LTR-2, together with seven known compounds (2-8). The structures of 1-8 were determined by their HRESIMS, optical rotation, and NMR spectroscopic data. The absolute configuration of nigirpexin E (1) was determined on the basis of comparisons of experimental and theoretically calculated ECD spectra.
