Abstract

A new destruxin [destruxin E2 chlorohydrin] was isolated from the culture medium of Metarrhizium anisopliae and its structure was determined by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. As compared with other destruxins, the new destruxin showed a lower suppressive activity on the production of hepatitis B virus surface antigen in human hepatoma Hep3B cells. NMR study coupled with molecular modeling by computer graphics has revealed that the hydrophobicity nature of the convex surface characteristic of all destruxin molecules plays an important role in their biological activity.
