Hypocrellin (1), C30H26O10, a dark red pigment with photodynamic activity toward microorganisms, was isolated from the fungus Hypocrella bambusae (B.et Br.J.Sacc.).Its perylenequinone structure was elucidated by carbon-13 and proton NMR spectroscopy and by spectral comparison with the known elsinochrome A (3).The photooxidation product, denoted as peroxyhypocrellin (4), C30H26O12, was identified as an anthracene endo-peroxide within the perylenquinone structure.Confirmation of the hypocrellin structure (1) was achieved by X-ray analysis.
