Abstract
Nominine (2), a new indole diterpenoid biogenetically related to the aflavinines, has been isolated as the major organic-soluble component of the sclerotia of the fungus Aspergillus nomius (NRRL 13137). A. nomius is closely related to the common fungi A. flavus and A. parasiticus, both of which selectively allocate antiinsectan aflavinine derivatives to their sclerotia. This compound was identified primarily through NMR decoupling studies and selective INEPT experiments and by spectral comparison with aflavinine derivatives isolated from A. flavus. Nominine exhibits potent activity against the widespread crop pest Heliothis zea, causing 40% mortality and a 97% reduction in weight relative to controls when incorporated into a standard test diet at 100 ppm dry weight. © 1989, American Chemical Society.
