melleolide F

Melleolide F is a sesquiterpenoid resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of o-orsellinic acid with the 2-hydroxy group of (2R,2aS,4aS,7aS,7bR)-3-(hydroxymethyl)-6,6,7b-trimethyl-1,2,4a,5,6,7,7a,7b-octahydro-2aH-cyclobuta[e]indene-2,2a-diol. It is a metabolite isolated from the fungus Armillaria mellea. It has a role as a fungal metabolite. It is a primary allylic alcohol, a tertiary allylic alcohol, a sesquiterpenoid, a member of phenols, a benzoate ester and a carbotricyclic compound. It is functionally related to an o-orsellinic acid.
