Abstract
A new antibiotic, 1 -hydroxy-2-nonyn-4-one (1), has been isolated from submerged cultures of several strains of Ischnoderma benzoinum. The compound exhibits high inhibitory activity against yeasts and filamentous fungi at concentrations of 1-5 μg/ml. DNA, RNA, and protein syntheses in cells of the ascitic form of Ehrlich carcinoma are strongly inhibited by the same concentrations.
