Albofungin is a polyaromatic heterocycle containing a rare N-aminoamide, isolated from a Streptomyces species in Russia in 1959. Albofungin exhibits a broad biological profile with antibiotic, antifungal, anthelmintic and very potent antitumor activity. The mode of action of albofungin has not been investigated.
Albofungin is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF and DMSO.
