Brevicompanine B is a diketopiperazine-related metabolite produced by Penicillium and Aspergillus species. Brevicompanine B is active against the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, and shows pronounced plant growth regulatory activity but is devoid of antifungal or antibacterial activity.
Brevicompanine B is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF and DMSO.
