Abstract
A new hydrogenated azaphilone Sch725680 (1) was isolated and identified from the culture of an Aspergillus sp. The structure elucidation of 1 was achieved based on extensive NMR spectroscopic analyses. Compound 1 showed inhibitory activity against Saccharomyces cerevisiae (PM503) and Candida albicans (C43) with MICs of 8 and 64 μg/ml, respectively.
