Previridicatumtoxin is a fungal metabolite that has been found inP. aethiopicumand has diverse biological activities.1,2It is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of the mycotoxin viridicatumtoxin . Previridicatumtoxin is active against methicillin-resistantS. aureus(MRSA) and vancomycin-resistantE. faecalis(IC50s = 4.4 and 4.8 uM, respectively), as well asC. albicansandS. cerevisiae(MIC = 32 ug/ml for both).2,1It is cytotoxic to NCI H460, KB-3-1, and SW620 cancer cells (IC50s = 5.3, 4.1, and 6 uM, respectively).2
