Novel Triterpene Sulfates from Fusarium compactum Using a Rhinovirus 3C Protease Inhibitor Screen.

Abstract
Two novel triterpene sulfates have been isolated from Fusarium compactum by bioactivity-directed fractionation using an assay which measures the inhibition of proteolytic activity of rhinovirus 3C protease on a fluorogenic peptide substrate. The compounds were purified by countercurrent and reverse phase chromatographies. NMR, MS, UV and IR studies revealed two triterpene sulfates, uncommon metabolites of terrestrial fungi.
