RESUMO
A strain of Stachybotrys atra isolated from a field case of stachybotryotoxicosis in Hungary was cultured in Hungary. All of the compounds toxic to brine shrimp were separated from the culture extract by solvent partition, column chromatography, and preparative thin-layer chromatography. Two of the toxic compounds were identified as verrucarin J and satratoxin H by comparison with pure standards resolved by high-pressure liquid chromatography and characterized by mass spectrometry. Two other toxic components were identified as roriden E and satratoxin G on the basis of their mass spectra. The fifth toxic compound was identified as a macrocyclic trichothecene based on the following findings: a positive 4-(p-nitrobenzyl)pyridine color reaction, hydrolysis resulting in verrucarol verified by combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and a characteristic trichothecene proton-nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum. This macrocyclic trichothecene has a molecular ion (528) identical to satratoxin H, and its mass spectrum is similar; however, its Rf value on Silica Gel G differs.
