U. Grafe et al., HELIOFERINS - NOVEL ANTIFUNGAL LIPOPEPTIDES FROM MYCOGONE ROSEA - SCREENING, ISOLATION, STRUCTURES AND BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES, Journal of antibiotics, 48(2), 1995, pp. 126-133
Helioferins A and B were detected as novel aminolipopeptides in cultur
es of Mycogone rosea DSM 8822 in the course of a screening for mediato
rs of helianthate anion transfer from aqueous to toluene phases. Their
structures as novel antibiotics and cytotoxic agents were elucidated
by mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopic methods. Antimicrobial acti
vity was estimated against Candida albicans and Gram-positive bacteria
including Mycobacterium spp.
