    Nornidulin

    $283,726.08 - $991,859.09
    Nornidulin is a depsidone produced by several fungal species, with potent and selective antibacterial activity. While literature on nornidulin is limited, it is closely related to folipasatin and unguinol which have both been identified as inhibitors of phospholipase A2, arachidonic acid release from rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes, and nitrendipine binding to porcine heart membrane. While showing some calcium blocking attributes, the nidulans have potential as antiinflammatory agents.

    Nornidulin is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF or DMSO. Limited water solubility.
    Molecular FormulaC19H15Cl3O5
