During our screening program for novel microbial metabolites using the advanced compound-identification system designated as ‘MBJ’s special selection’, we succeeded in the discovery of new natural compounds. 1, 2 Among them, ester-substituted sesquiterpenoids related to the eremophilane class MBJ-0009 (1) and MBJ-0010 (2) were isolated from a fungus Nectria sp. f26111 (Figure 1). These type of compounds isolated from fungal cultures have been reported as cytotoxic, 3–5 antimalarial 5 agents and cell-adhesion inhibitors. 6 Here, we report the fermentation, isolation, structure elucidation and brief biological activity of 1 and 2. The fungus Nectria sp. f26111 was isolated from a soil sample collected in Kochi Prefecture, Japan. The strain was cultivated in 250-ml Erlenmeyer flasks, each containing 25ml of a seed medium consisting of 2% potato starch (Tobu Tokachi Nosan Kako Agricultural Cooperative Assoc., Hokkaido, Japan), 1% glucose (Junsei Chemical, Tokyo, Japan), 2% soybean powder (Honen SoyPro, J-Oil Mills, Tokyo, Japan), 0.1% KH2PO4 and 0.05% MgSO4 Á 7H2O. The flasks were shaken on a rotary shaker (220r. pm) at 251C for 3 days. Aliquots (0.5 ml) of the broth were transferred to 500-ml Erlenmeyer flasks containing 50ml of a production medium consisting of 2% potato starch (Tobu Tokachi Nosan Kako Agricultural Cooperative Assoc.), 1% glucose (Junsei Chemical), 2% soybean powder (Honen SoyPro, J-Oil Mills), 0.1% KH2PO4 and 0.05% MgSO4 Á 7H2O, and cultured on a rotary shaker (220r. pm) at 251C for 4 days. As our routine step, the fermentation broth (2l) was directly extracted with an equal volume of n-BuOH. The crude extract was then partitioned between EtOAc (300 ml 3) and H2O (300ml) to yield EtOAc extract (730mg). The obtained extract was applied to a silica gel medium-pressure liquid chromatography column (Purif-Pack SI-30; Shoko Scientific Co., Ltd, Yokohama, Japan) and eluted with a gradient system of hexane–EtOAc (0–25% EtOAc) followed by the stepwise solvent system of CHCl3–MeOH (0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 30 and 100% MeOH). The 2% MeOH eluate (200mg) was subjected to octadecylsilanemedium-pressure liquid chromatography (Purif-Pack octadecylsilane-30; Shoko Scientific Co., Ltd) by using the stepwise solvent system (50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100% aqueous MeOH). The 90% MeOH fraction (127mg) was purified by reversed-phase HPLC using a CAPCELL PAK C18 MGII column (5.0 mm, 20 id  150 mm; Shiseido, Tokyo, Japan) with 70% aqueous CH3CN containing 0.1% formic acid (flow rate: 10mlminÀ1) to yield 1 (57.4 mg, retention time (Rt) ¼ 21.7 min) and crude 2 (8.5 mg, Rt¼ 19.8 min). The repetitive HPLC purification of 2 (3.0 mg, Rt¼ 19.8 min) from the crude material containing 2 was carried out using the same procedure as 1.
