The derivatives isolated so far are named destruxins after the earlier name of the fungus Oospora destructor). The conunon basic skeleton of the destruxins is a 19 membered depsipeptide ring, and the various derivatives differ from each other with respect to their side chains (55-60). 

Destnixins. Cyclic depsipeptides from Metarrhizium anisopliae and Oospora destructor (Hyphomycetes) with insecticidal activity. Destruxin 8 is a host-specific phytotoxin from Altemaria brassicae. The D. are optically active, mostly crystalline compounds. For the most important D., see the table. 

The destruxins, cychc peptides containing five amide bonds and one ester bond, were first isolated hyKodaira in 1961 from Oospora destructor 760), hence the naming of these compounds. Well-documented biological effects are insecticidal and phytotoxic activities 758). Furthermore, also antitumor, inotropic, or enzyme inhibitory effects are reported. Destruxin E, for example, was synthesized in 2010 761).
