Cochliodone A

Cochliodone A is an active compound extracted from cultures of the deep-sea derived fungus Chaetomium sp. and has antibacterial and anticancer activity. Cochliodone A is toxic to a variety of bacteria, with MICs of 15.3 μg/mL (V. vulnificus), 32.7 μg/mL (V. rotiferianus), 15.9 μg/mL (S. aureus ATCC 43300), and 16.3 μg/mL (S . aureus CGMCC 1.12409). Cochliodone A also inhibits a variety of cancer cell lines, with IC50s of 28.1 μM (A549), 20.7 μM (HeLa), and 23.2 μM (Hep G2)[1].
