Merulidial
Merulidial (Compound 1) is an antibiotic and cytotoxic agent characterized by a sesquiterpene dialdehyde structure. It effectively inhibits the spore germination and mycelial growth of the wood-decaying basidiomycete Heterobasidion annosum (H. annosum) and the saprophytic fungus Cladosporium cucumerinum (C. cucumerinum) . Additionally, Merulidial suppresses DNA synthesis in various bacteria, algae, and ECA cells. It exhibits strong anticancer activity, with IC50 values of 20 μg/mL for ECA cells and 10 μg/mL for L1210 cells.
