Abstract

Stereum hirsutum is a pathogenic fungus involved in 'Esca', a trunk wood disease of grapevine. Among the metabolites isolated from the culture medium of this fungus, frustulosin () shows a high phytotoxicity. A new simple and efficient method for the synthesis of frustulosin () and frustulosinol () was developed. Antibacterial activity and phytotoxicity are reported.
