The antibacterial activity of fourteen identified compounds from secondary metabolites of fungus Cephalosporium sp. AL031 against eleven gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria in vitro was investigated by agar diffusion assay. The results suggested that two new compounds [S-(+)-5-hydroxymellein, S-(+)-7-hydroxymellein], together with

In order to identify biological indicators of exposure to trimethylbenzenes, the metabolism of pseudocumene (1,2,4-trimethylbenzene) was investigated in rabbits. After oral administration of this compound, urine was collected for several days and analyzed for the presence of acidic metabolites. Isolation
