New Terpenoids from the Corticioid Fungus Punctularia atropurpurascens and their Antimycobacterial Evaluation.

Chemical investigation of strain HM1 (Punctulariaceae), a corticioid isolated from a decorticated piece of bark collected in Bosque de Tlalpan, Mexico City, led to the isolation of a new drimane, 1--hydroxy-isodrimenine (1: ) and a new tetrahydroxy kauranol, 16-hydroxy-phlebia--kauranol (2: ), together with the known -phenylacetamide (3: ). Structures of all compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic and spectrometric methods, and the absolute configuration of 1: and 2: was confirmed via single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The isolated compounds showed modest antimycobacterial activity.
