Notes: Validamycin A is a fungicidal agent used to protect rice plants against sheath blight caused by the pathogenic fungus, R. solani, due to its ability to inhibit trehalase, a trehalose-hydrolizing enzyme (Ki = 1.9 nM; IC50 = 0.7 μM).{24963} It is also effective against the growth and sporulation of R. cerealis, F. culmorum, and other fungi.{24962} This compound has also been used to study trehalase activity and trehalose biosynthesis.{24961}
