Asterric acid is a fungal metabolite with anti-angiogenic properties, isolated from a number of Aspergillus and Penicillium species. It is an inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),...
Fumagillin is a polyene natural product and mycotoxin isolated from Aspergillus fumigatus in 1951 as a potent antiprotozoan for agents that cause amoebiasis. More recently, Fumagillin has been shown...
1-Alaninechlamydocin is a cyclic tetrapeptide metabolite containing a single β-amino acid, which was isolated from a Tolypocladium sp. from the Great Lakes. It has anti-cancer properties due to the...
Diacetylcercosporin is a minor hydrophobic analogue of cercosporin produced by several species of the fungal genera, Cercospora and Septoria. Diacetylcercosporin has moderate in vitro activity...
Pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid is small amphoteric polar metabolite produced by many Streptomyces species, often co-produced with its dimer, pyrocoll. Pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid is an important...
Streptonigrin is an unusual aminoquinone with broad biological activity against bacteria, fungi, nematodes, viruses and tumor cells. Streptonigrin acts as a bioreductive agent, highly dependent on...
