Several open-chained analogues of UK-2A, a novel antifungal antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces sp. 517-02, were prepared for structure-activity studies. The in vitro antifungal activities of these compounds against Rhodotorula mucilaginosa IFO 0001 and the inhibition of uncoupler-stimulated respiration in bovine heart submitochondrial particles (SMP) were evaluated. Oxidative potentials were measured by cyclic voltammetry. An analogue prepared from dihexyl L-glutamate showed comparable inhibitory activity as UK-2A. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
