Terphenyllin
Application Notes
Terphenyllin is the dominant analogue of a family of polyphenyl fungal metabolites produced by Aspergillus candidus. The occurrence of this metabolite is a criterion in the polyphasic taxonomy of A. candidus. Terphenyllin has not been extensively studied but exhibits anti-oxidative activity, acts as a plant growth inhibitor, and shows weak activity against HIV integrase.
