Biological properties of acmycin, a new polyene antibiotic.

Abstract:

:Acmycin, a new polyene antibiotic, was fungistatic at low and fungicidal at high concentrations. It produced malformations in conidia of Helminthosporium oryzae and Curvularia lunata and caused leakage of yeast cells. Acmycin was fairly nontoxic to germinating seeds. The intravenous LD50 was 300-400 and intraperitoneal maximum tolerated dose 100-500 mg/kg body mass of mice.
