β¦ Synopsis
Ikeda, Suzuki and Djerassi' extended previous joint work 2,3 on nystatin, the chemotherapeutically-important antifungal agent4 from Streptomyces noursei', and proposed constitution (I; R = OH) for nystatinolide, its hypothetical aglycone. This structure (I; R = OH) corresponds to C41H64015' and with the attachment of mycosamine6 leads to the molecular formula C47H,SN018
for nystatin itself.
We present here evidence that nystatin is correctly formulated as C47H75N017p and that nystatinolide has the constitution (I; R = H).
