Abstract

In a screening for antimicrobial metabolites, amides of D-allo- and L-isoleucine derivatives were isolated from the culture of a marine strain of Acremonium furcatum. Structural elucidation of these compounds was performed by analysis of spectroscopic data and confirmed by synthesis. All of the compounds, natural and synthetic intermediates, were bioassayed against bacteria and phytopathogenic fungi, with many showing remarkable antifungal activities.
