3-Anhydroophiobolin A is the dehydrated analogue of ophiobolin A and is a major member of the ophiobolin complex of phytotoxic metabolites produced by many species of the genus Bipolaris. Like all ophiobolins, 3-anhydroophiobolin A possesses a broad biological profile with antibacterial, antifungal, antitumor, herbicidal and nematocidal activities.
3-Anhydroophiobolin A is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF and DMSO.
