Highly potent 1,3-β- d -glucan synthase inhibitors, 7b , 10a , 10b and 12 , have been identified by the chemical modification of the ornithine residue of a fungicidal macrocyclic lipopeptidolactone, RO-09-3655 ( 1 ), isolated from the cultured broth of Deuteromycotinia spp. These compounds showed stronger antifungal activity against systemic candidiasis as well as pulmonary aspergillosis in mice, and less hepatotoxicity as compared with 1 . |
