Abstract:
A microorganism belonging to filamentous fungi, capable of producing antibiotic FKI-1778A and/or FKI-1778B and/or FKI-1778C and/or FKI-1778D is cultured in a culture medium to thereby accumulate the antibiotic FKI-1778A and/or FKI-1778B and/or FKI-1778C and/or FKI-1778D in the culture mixture. The antibiotic FKI-1778A and/or FKI-1778B and/or FKI-1778C and/or FKI-1778D is collected from the culture mixture. The thus obtained substance is promising as drugs, veterinary medicines or agrichemicals having a growth inhibiting activity to microorganisms, nematodes and arthropods or as drugs exhibiting a growth inhibiting activity to carcinoma cells.
Abstract:
A FO-1289 substance of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are hydrogen or acyl. A process for the production thereof comprises culturing the novel microorganism Aspergillus sp. FO-1289 FERM BP-4242 in a nutrient medium, accumulating the FO-1289 substance thus produced in the medium, and isolating the FO-1289 substance therefrom. Particular species of the FO-1289 substance comprise FO-1289A, in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are acetyl and R.sub.4 is hydrogen; FO-1289B, wherein R.sub.1 is propionyl, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are acetyl and R.sub.4 is hydrogen; FO-1289C, wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.3 are acetyl, R.sub.2 is propionyl and R.sub.4 is hydrogen; and FO-1289D, wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are acetyl, R.sub.3 is propionyl and R.sub.4 is hydrogen.

Abstract:
An electron transport system complex II inhibitor comprising 2-pyridinol derivative represented by the general formula [I] wherein R is alkyl or alkenyl optionally having substituent containing halogen, or its tautomer 2-pyridone derivative represented by the general formula [II] wherein R is alkyl or alkenyl optionally having substituent containing halogen, or salt thereof as an active ingredient. The compound inhibits the complex II strongly with nM order activity. Consequently, 2-pyridinol derivative or its tautomer, 2-pyridone derivative, are useful as the complex II inhibitor.
Abstract:
The present invention is comprised of culturing microorganism having ability to produce FKI-1083 substance represented by the formula: in a medium, accumulating FKI-1083 substance in the cultured medium, and isolating FKI-1083 substance from the cultured mass. The thus obtained FKI-1083 substance has growth inhibitory activities against microorganisms, nematodes and arthropods, and is useful as anthelmintic and insecticide.
