Displays antifungal activity against M.arachidicola and P.piricola, but not against R.solani, C.gossypii and C.comatus (PubMed:11556814). Inhibits mycelial growth in P.piricola with an IC(50) of 70 nM (PubMed:11556814). Displays very low cell-free translation inhibitory activity in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate system (IC(50)=70 uM) but is able to inhibit HIV-1 reverse transcriptase activity (IC(50)=5.2 nM) (PubMed:11556814).
