Abstract
A naturally occurring compound with strong antifungal activity was iso lated from the flavedo tissue of ''Star Ruby'' grapefruits (Citrus par adisi) and identified as 7-geranoxycoumarin. A high yield strategy for its synthesis was found and its antifungal activity against Penicilli um italicum and P. digitatum assessed by in vivo and in vitro test. (C ) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
