Yz. Shu et al., BRIPIODIONEN, A NEW INHIBITOR OF HUMAN CYTOMEGALOVIRUS PROTEASE FROM STREPTOMYCES SP WC76599, Journal of natural products, 60(5), 1997, pp. 529-532
Bripiodionen (1), a new natural product, was isolated from Streptomyce
s sp. WC76599 during the screening of microbial fermentation extracts
for their ability to inhibit human cytomegalovirus protease. The struc
