Funiculosin, a new antibiotic. I isolation, biological and chemical properties

Abstract

A new antibiotic, funiculosin, C27H41NO7, was isolated from the filter cake of the fermented broth of Penicillium funiculosum Thom. Funiculosin is a neutral lipophilic substance which inhibits both DNA and RNA viruses as tested in infected primary chick embryo fibroblast cell monolayer and also some pathogenic fungi such as Tricophyton mentagrophytes and Candida albicans. © 1969, JAPAN ANTIBIOTICS RESEARCH ASSOCIATION.
