Abstract
During our screening program for new potentiators of amphotericin B activity against Candida albicans, shodoamides A to C (1–3) were isolated from a culture broth of the fungus Pseudophialophora sp. BF-0158 fermented under shaking conditions. A known congener named shodoamide D (4) in this paper was obtained from a culture broth of the BF-0158 strain fermented under static conditions. The structures of 1–4 were assigned based on spectroscopic analyses, including NMR and MS, and were found to have a common N-(2´,3´,4´-trihydroxybutyl)-6-methyl-2,4-tetradecadienamide structure. Compounds 1–3 exhibited no antifungal activity, but they induced up to 32-fold increases in amphotericin B activity against C. albicans by a microdilution method.
