title: Inhibitors of myo-inositol monophosphatase, ATCC 20928 factors A and C. Isolation, physico-chemical characterization and biological properties.
abstract: During the course of a screening program for inhibitors of myo-inositol monophosphatase we fermented the strain ATCC 20928, a known producer of L-671,776. We now show that this strain produces a complex of at least three sesquiterpenic compounds, L-671,776 (termed factor B) and two structurally related substances, termed factors A and C. Both factors A and C, like L-671,776, exhibited inhibitory activity against myo-inositol monophosphatase. Six other fungi producing the above mentioned compounds were also isolated and taxonomically characterized.
