Application Notes

Sordarin is a tetracyclic diterpene glycoside initially isolated from Sordaria araneosa by Hauser and Sigg in 1971. Sordarin derivatives were patented as fungicides by Merck and Co. in 1998. Sordarin selectively inhibits fungal protein synthesis by impairing the function of eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2). Mutations in ribosomal protein L10e confer resistance to sordarin.
