R. Tanaka et al., FRUITING-INDUCING ACTIVITY AND ANTIFUNGAL PROPERTIES OF LIPID COMPONENTS IN MEMBERS OF ANNELIDA, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 45(10), 1997, pp. 1702-1704
Fruiting-inducing activity and antifungal properties of lipid componen
ts in the phylum Annelida were examined, Some amphoteric cerebrosides
carrying a phosphocholine group showed fruiting-inducing activity on S
chizophyllum commune, and one of them possessed activity comparable to
that of Sch II, the most potent substance known, Furthermore, alkyl l
ysophosphatidylcholines were found to have an inhibitory effect on the
growth of phytopathogenic fungi, Alternaria kikuchiana and Phomopsis
mall, The relationship between structure and biological activities is
discussed.
