The structures of these metabolites were determined based on comprehensive spectral interpretation and the absolute configuration of compound 1 was established by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 showed potent activity against a broad spectrum of human-, aqua-, and plant-pathogens.展开更多
