Y. Kimura et al., ASPYRONE, A NEMATOCIDAL COMPOUND ISOLATED FROM THE FUNGUS, ASPERGILLUS-MELLEUS, Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry, 60(8), 1996, pp. 1375-1376
Aspyrone (1) was isolated from a culture filtrate of Aspergillus melle
us, and the structure was determined by a comparison of spectroscopic
data with those of an authentic sample. 1 showed nematicidal activity
toward Pratylenchus penetrans by 80.8% at a concentration of 300 mg/li
ter.
