Capsimycin is a new antifungal antibiotic produced by a strain of Streptomyces sp. C 49--87. The active substance in the fermented broth was isolated by solvent extraction followed by silica gel column chromatography. The antibiotic melts at 186 degrees C (decomp.) and has a molecular formula C30H40N2O6. It exhibits marked inhibitory activity against Phytophthora capsici (Leaf blight disease of cucumber) and Pythium debaryanum (Damping-off disease of cucumber).
辣椒霉素是由链霉菌属菌株C 49--87产生的一种新型抗真菌抗生素。通过溶剂萃取，然后硅胶柱色谱法从发酵液中分离出活性物质。该抗生素在186℃（分解）熔化，分子式为C30H40N2O6。它对辣椒疫霉（黄瓜叶枯病）和德巴利腐霉（黄瓜猝倒病）表现出显著的抑制活性。
