A new azoxyalkene from a strain of an actinomadura-like fungus

Planta Med. 2003 Jun;69(6):574-6. doi: 10.1055/s-2003-40633.

Abstract

A new proximal alpha,beta-( cis)-unsaturated azoxyalkene (1) was produced by a fungal strain named A7, identified as Actinomadura sp., isolated from apricot (Prunus armeniaca) roots. Compound 1 was isolated together with the polyene macrolide fungichromine, and its structure and geometry were established mainly by UV, MS and 1H- and 13C-NMR mono-dimensional and two-dimensional experiments. Compound 1 showed a weak antibiotic activity against Rhodotorula sp.
