benanomicin a

Benanomicin A is a microbial metabolite found in Actinomycetes with antifungal, fungicidal, and antiviral activities. It is effective against various mammalian and plant pathogenic fungi, including C. albicans, T. mentagrophytes, C. neoformans, P. oryzae, and A. niger (MICs = 3.13-50 μg ml). Benanomicin A also inhibits HIV-1 viral infection in MT-4 cells in a concentration-dependent manner.
