Nornidulin

Nornidulin is a depsidone originally isolated from [A. nidulans] with antibacterial activity against [M. tuberculosis] and [M. ranoe], and antifungal activity against [T. tonsurans] and [M. audouini]. It inhibits the growth of methicillin-resistant [S. aureus] (MRSA; MIC = 2 μg/ml) and has larvicidal activity toward Artemia (LC50 = 1.7 μg/ml) . Nornidulin exhibits cytotoxic activity in MOLT-3 cells (IC50 = 35.7 μM) but not in HuCCA-1, HepG2, or A549 cells (IC50s = >116.4 μM) .
