Studies of the genome-sequenced, flutimide-producing coprophilous fungus Delitschia confertaspora (ATCC 74209), originally obtained from a sample of rock hyrax (Procavia capensis) dung collected in Namibia, led to the discovery of three new highly aromatic natural products named delicoferones A-B (1-2) and fimetarone B (3). The new benzophenone derivatives 1 and 2 have a somewhat unusual skeleton that incorporates three aromatic rings linked via two ketone carbonyl groups, while 3 contains a spiro[chroman-3,7'-isochromene]-4,6'(8'H) skeleton reported only once previously. The structures of these compounds were assigned mainly by analysis of 2D NMR and HRESITOFMS data.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 June 2022.
All research outputs
#7,785,559
of 28,695,121 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Natural Products
#1,699
of 5,558 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#120,312
of 433,070 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Natural Products
#63
of 90 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 28,695,121 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,558 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.6. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 433,070 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 90 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
