:Validamycin
Description:
Validamycin is a naturally occurring antibiotic compound primarily known for its fungicidal properties, particularly against various plant pathogens. It is produced by the fermentation of certain strains of the bacterium *Streptomyces hygroscopicus*. Validamycin exhibits a unique mechanism of action by inhibiting the synthesis of chitin, a critical component of fungal cell walls, thereby disrupting fungal growth and reproduction. This compound is particularly effective against diseases such as rice sheath blight and other fungal infections in crops. In addition to its agricultural applications, validamycin has garnered interest for its potential use in medical settings due to its antifungal properties. The substance is characterized by its complex molecular structure, which includes multiple sugar moieties and an amino sugar, contributing to its biological activity. Validamycin is typically used in formulations for crop protection, and its application is regulated to ensure safety and efficacy in agricultural practices. As with many antibiotics, there is ongoing research into its environmental impact and the potential for resistance development in target organisms.

Validamycin (technical)
CAS:<p>Validamycin (technical) is an antifungal agent, which is a natural product derived from the actinomycete Streptomyces hygroscopicus. This compound functions through a specific mode of action by inhibiting the enzyme trehalase, crucial for the breakdown of trehalose into glucose. Consequently, this disruption in the carbohydrate metabolism weakens fungal structure and growth.</p>Formula:C20H35NO13Purity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:497.5 g/molValidamycin (technical)
