YM-193221, a Novel Antifungal Antibiotic Produced by Pseudallescheria ellipsoidea.

2005 
A novel antifungal antibiotic, YM-193221, was found in the culture broth of a fungus, Pseudallescheria ellipsoidea. The structure of the antibiotic was determined through several spectroscopic experiments as 2-dimethylamino-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-8, 10-dimethyl-6-dodecene-3-one. YM-193221 exhibited potent antifungal activity against Candida albicans and also inhibited mannan synthesis in the yeast cell wall.
