Antibiotics from basidiomycetes. IX. Oudemansin, an antifungal antibiotic from Oudemansiella mucida (Schrader ex Fr.) Hoehnel (Agaricales)
- J Antibiot (Tokyo). 1979 Nov;32(11):1112-7. doi: 10.7164/antibiotics.32.1112.
From mycelial cultures of Oudemansiella mucida a crystalline optically active Antibiotic, oudemansin (2), has been isolated; its structure is closely related to strobilurin A (1). The relative configuration of oudemansin have been determined by X-ray analysis. The Antibiotic exhibits strong Antifungal properties and inhibits respiration in fungi, cells of the ascitic form of EHRLICH carcinoma, and rat liver mitochondria.
