Merulidial
Merulidial (Compound 1) is an antibiotic and cytotoxic agent with a sesquiterpene dialdehyde structure. Merulidial significantly inhibits the germination of spores and the hyphal growth of the wood-roting basidiomycete Heterobasidion annosum (H. annosum) and the saprophytic mould Cladosporium cucumerinum (C.cucumerinum). Merulidial also inhibits a variety of bacteria, algae and DNA synthesis of ECA cells. Merulidial shows a strong anticancer activity with IC50 s of 20 and 10 μg/mL for ECA and L1210 cells, respectively .

Biological Activity
Merulidial (Compound 1) (25 mg/mL, 3-5 days)significantly prevents the hyphal growth, with the clear zones from the edge of the well of 4-7 mm (C. cucumerinum) and 15-19 mm (H. annosum), respectively[1].
Merulidial (6.3-25 μg/mL, 24 h) strongly inhibits germination of H. annosum spores at both 12.5 and 25 μg/mL with delay germination at 6.3 ug/mL, and shows a weak effect on C. cucumerinum spore germination, delaying by at least 48 h[1].
Merulidial (50 μg/plate) has a mutagenic activity in the Ames' Salmonella assay for mutant strains TA98, TA2637 and TA100 with mutagenic rate of 0.62、0.28 and 1.5 revertants/nmol[3].
