General description

Aphidicolin is a diterpenoid metabolite of the fungi, Cephalosporium aphidicola and Phoma betae. It is known to be an antiviral drug and inhibits the incorporation of thymidine into DNA of cultured human embryonic lung cells.

Application

Aphidicolin may be used as a reference standard in the determination of the analyte in plasma samples using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
