action | An antibiotic extracted from the fermentation broth of Actinomycetes producing cycloheximide. Colorless crystals. The melting point was 119-121 °c. Soluble in methanol, ethanol and acetone, water-soluble. Acid-resistant and heat-resistant. It is easy to decompose in alkaline condition. It has inhibitory effect on yeast, mold, protozoa and other pathogenic bacteria. No significant inhibition of bacteria. In agriculture, cycloheximide is used to control cherry leaf spot disease, cherry blossom perforation disease, peach Sclerotinia sclerotiorum disease, Oak blight, mint and pine rust, sweet potato black scar disease, chrysanthemum scab and rose mold. In addition, cycloheximide is also a repellent for rodents, rabbits, dogs, wild boars and the like. Cycloheximide can also be prepared from by-products in fermentation broth such as streptomycin and nystatin. |
