Lachnone A is a chromone fungal metabolite originally isolated from Lachnum. It is inactive against P. falciparum, C. albicans, and M. tuberculosis. It is not cytotoxic to KB or BC-1 cells.
Lachnone A is a chromone isolated from the filamentous fungus, Lachnum sp., in 2006, along with known (2E,6S)-2,6-dimethyl-2,7-octadiene-1,6-diol. Lachnone A possesses weak activity against bacteria but has not been extensively investigated.
