Benanomicin A is isolated from the culture filtrates of Actinomadura sp. MH193-16F4.1,2 It shows excellent activities against a wide range of fungi including Candida, Cryptococcus and Aspergillus.1,3 Benanomicin A demonstrated excellent therapeutic efficacy against in a Pneumocystis carinii-infected mouse model.4 Benanomicin A also inhibited infection of human T-cells with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) at 30~100 μg/mL and inhibited syncytium formation induced by HIV-1 at 10~100 μg/mL.5 The antifungal and anti HIV-1 activities of benanomicins and their analogues have been studied.6 Benanomicin A has antimycotic activities via binding to mannan in the cell walls of fungi. 7 In recent years, the lectin-like functionality of Benanomicin A has been utilized to conduct research on preparing the mannan cell walls. 8,9
