Abstract: | A novel N‐containing compound, vibratilicin (=3‐3‐(dimethylamino)‐4‐(hydroxyamino)‐4‐oxobutoxy]‐2‐(palmitoyloxy)propyl (9E,12E)‐octadeca‐9,12‐dienoate; 1 ), was isolated from the fruiting bodies of the basidiomycete Cortinarius vibratilis Fr. Compound 1 is a representative of the rare natural products containing hydroxamic acid moieties, and can be viewed as a derivative of neoengleromycin ( 2 ). Also isolated from the same fungus were five known compounds: ergosta‐5,7,22‐trien‐3β‐ol, 5α,8α‐epidioxyergosta‐6,22‐dien‐3β‐ol, p‐anisic acid, N‐(2‐hydroxyhexadecanoyl)‐4‐sphingenine, and (4E,8E)‐2‐N‐(2′‐hydroxypalmitoyl)‐1‐O‐(β‐D ‐glucopyranosyl)‐9‐methyl‐4,8‐sphingadienine. Their structures were determined mainly spectroscopically, including 2D‐NMR techniques (HMBC, HMQC, 1H,1H‐COSY). |
