The Structure of Gliovirin, A New Antibiotic from Gliocladium Virens

Abstract

Gliovirin, a new antibiotic active against Pythium ultimum, has been isolated from Gliocladium virens. The structure of gliovirin was determined by NMR, mass spectral, and X-ray crystallographic analyses. Gliovirin may be derived from L,L-phenylalanine anhydride, which was also isolated from G. virens. © 1982, JAPAN ANTIBIOTICS RESEARCH ASSOCIATION. All rights reserved.
