J. Harindran et al., HA-1-92, A new antifungal antibiotic produced by Streptomyces CDRIL-312: Fermentation, isolation, purification and biological activity, WORLD J MIC, 15(4), 1999, pp. 425-430
A new antifungal antibiotic, HA-1-92, was isolated from the biomass of Stre
ptomyces CDRIL-312, by extracting in butanol and further purified by silica
gel column chromatography followed by preparative TLC. The antibiotic is p
resumed to be an oxohexaene macrolide and showed promising antifungal activ
ity against yeasts and filamentous fungi including human and plant pathogen
s. It was found to be less toxic in mice than known oxohexaenes.
