Nidulol
Application Notes
Nidulol is a naphthalide (iso-benzofuranone) isolated as a polar metabolite from Aspergillus nidulans. Lack of availability has hindered the investigation of nidulol’s biological activity. Nidulol should not be confused with the sesquiterpene metabolite of the same name isolated from bird's nest fungi.
