Structure elucidation of bio-active compounds isolated from endophytes of Alstonia scholaris and Acmena graveolens

Nathan Wright, Nicholas Hundley, Steven G Wood, and Noel L Owen. Brigham Young University, Provo, UT

Three cytotoxic compounds have been isolated and identified from a fungal endophyte extracted from the plant Alstonia scholaris, and two other bio-active compounds have been isolated and identified from a fungal endophyte from the plant Acmena graveolens. Both these plants were collected from the canopy of an Australian rain forest. Identification of the compounds was established using NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques.
