benanomicin a

Benanomicin A is a microbial metabolite that has been found inActinomycetesand has antifungal, fungicidal, and antiviral activities.1,2It is active against a variety of mammalian and plant pathogenic fungi, includingC. albicans,T. mentagrophytes,C. neoformans,P. oryzae, andA. niger(MICs = 3.13-50 μg ml).1Benanomicin A inhibits HIV-1 viral infection in MT-4 cells in a concentration-dependent manner.2 1.Takeuchi, T., Hara, T., Naganawa, H., et al.New antifungal antibiotics, benanomicins A and B from an actinomyceteJ.
