K. Mochizuki et al., THE STRUCTURES OF BIOACTIVE CYCLODEPSIPEPTIDES, BEAUVERIOLIDE-I AND BEAUVERIOLIDE-II, METABOLITES OF ENTOMOPATHOGENIC FUNGI BEAUVERIA SP, Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan, 66(10), 1993, pp. 3041-3046
Among the cyclodepsipeptides, beauveriolides I (1) and II (2) have bee
n isolated from the mycelium of Beauveria sp., and their stereostructu
res were elucidated by spectral analyses coupled with syntheses of the
corresponding 3-hydroxyoctanoic acid derivatives. Beauveriolide I (1)
exhibited moderate insecticidal activities against Spodoptera litura
and Callosobruchus chinensis.
