Title: Cyclic peptide antifungal agents and process for preparation thereof
Abstract:Provided are compounds of the formula (1): ##STR1## wherein R' is hydrogen, methyl or NH.sub.2 C(O)CH.sub.2 --; R" and R'" are independently methyl or hydrogen; R adn R.sup.y are independently hydroxy or hydrogen; R.sub.1 is hydroxy, hydrogen, or hydroxysulfonyloxy; R.sub.7 is hydroxy, hydrogen, hydroxysulfonyloxy or phosphonooxy; R.sub.2 is a novel acyl side chain. Also provided are novel formulations, methods of inhibiting fungal and parasitic activity, and a process for preparing dideoxy (R.dbd.H) forms of the compounds.
