Induced Production of Halogenated Epidithiodiketopiperazines by a Marine-Derived Trichoderma cf. brevicompactum with Sodium Halides.

Marine-derived Trichoderma sp. TPU199 (cf. T. brevicompactum) produced gliovirin (1), pretrichodermamide A (2), and trichodermamide A (3) in a freshwater medium. Compounds 1 and 2 are rare epidithiodiketopiperazines possessing an unusual disulfide linkage. In the seawater medium, the strain biosynthesized the 5-chloro-5-deoxy derivatives (4 and 5) of 3 and 2. The production of 5 was proportional to the concentration of seawater (NaCl). Therefore, 5-bromo-5-deoxy (6) and 5-deoxy-5-iodo (7) derivatives were biosynthesized in the freshwater media supplemented with NaBr and NaI, respectively. The structure of a new iodo derivative (7) was elucidated on the basis of its spectroscopic data.
