Abstract

Oosponol [4-(hydroxyacetyl)-8-hydroxy-1H-2-benzopyran-1-one], a toxic metabolite of the basidiomycete Gloeophyllum abietinum, and some synthetic analogues were studied to clarify the molecular basis of their fungicidal, bactericidal, and phytotoxic effects. The Antibiotic activity was due to a strong inhibition of RNA and protein synthesis in target cells.
