S - Curvularin is a macrocyclic lactone with cytotoxic activity. Curvularin inhibits cell division as well as expression of human inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), an enzyme critically involved in pro-inflammatory immune processes. Curvularin anti-inflammatory activity was demonstrated in chronic inflammatory disease models in mice such as Chronic Induced Arthritis (CIA) as well as in human alveolar epithelial A549/8 cells.

Silica gel column chromatography (silica gel "L" II kind of activity 100/160 mkm) of the chloroform extract from the cultural filtrate of Penicillium sp. 10-51 gave two fractions (chloroform and chloroform-acetone, 5:1) having biological activity. Recrystallization yielded two compounds. On

Concise and efficient total syntheses of 11-alpha-methoxycurvularin and 11-beta-methoxycurvularin were accomplished for the first time. The three-component linchpin coupling and intramolecular acylation reactions were key steps, in which we found the spectral data of 11-alpha-methoxycurvularin and 11-beta-methoxycurvularin, reported in the
Chondrocytes are important for the development and maintenance of articular cartilage. However, both in osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) chondrocytes are involved in the process of cartilage degradation and synthesize important immunomodulatory mediators, including nitric oxide (NO) generated by

The new nematicidal compound, betagamma-dehydrocurvularin (1), together with three known compounds, alphabeta-dehydrocurvularin (2), 8-beta-hydroxy-7-oxocurvularin (3) and 7-oxocurvularin (4), were isolated from the culture filtrate and mycelial mats of Aspergillus sp. The structures of 1-4 were established by spectroscopic methods including
