Radicicol is a resorcylic acid lactone, produced by several fungal species, that exhibits broad spectrum antifungal and antitumor activity. As a cell differentiation modulator, radicicol has anti-angiogenic activity in vivo, inhibiting the proliferation of plasminogen activator production by vascular endothelial cells.
Radicicol is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF and DMSO. It has poor water solubility.
