New insecticidal compounds, communesins C, D and E, from Penicillium expansum link MK-57

Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2004 Mar;68(3):753-6. doi: 10.1271/bbb.68.753.

Abstract

Three new communesin congeners, communesins C, D, and E, together with two known communesins A and B were isolated from okara that had been fermented with Penicillium expansum Link MK-57. All these communesins showed the insecticidal activity against the silkworms.
