Abstract
The in vitro biological activities (antifungal, phytotoxic) for a grou p of fungal metabolites structurally related to 6-pentyl-2H-pyran-2-on e have been determined. Six compounds were tested and showed a degree of phytotoxicity in one or more of the assays employed. From among the analogs tested, (R)-5,6-dihydro-6-pentyl-2H-pyran-2-one has been iden tified as the most active against Penicillium species.
