Synerazol, a new antifungal antibiotic.

Abstract

Synerazol, a new antifungal antibiotic, was isolated from cultured broth of Aspergillus fumigatus SANK 10588. The structure was determined based on NMR and mass spectral evidences. Synerazol was found to be a related substance to pseurotin A. Synerazol was active against Candida albicans and other fungi, and showed marked synergistic activity with azole-type antifungal agents.
